A note about insurance coverage:
While having insurance that covers mental health/behavioral health services is often financially beneficial to individuals and families, there are a few very important things you should know about using insurance to cover therapy. First of all, insurance companies often want justification for therapy services, and therefore require that your therapist give you a diagnosis that meets their standards of "medical necessity". This diagnosis often becomes a part of your permanent medical records. Such a diagnosis can at times interfere with future insurance coverage.
Secondly, privacy can be compromised by using your insurance. In order to bill your insurance company, your therapist will need to provide them with your diagnosis as well as dates of therapy sessions. Many insurance companies also require progress updates and treatment plans to be provided. Additionally, while your therapist can control the privacy of their own records, they cannot guarantee how private the records of your insurance company will be.
For these reasons, paying "out of pocket" has benefits. Many therapists offer fees based on a sliding scale so money does not have to be as big of an obstacle to being able to pay out of pocket.
