Why I Choose a Private-Pay Model for Advanced Trauma & EMDR Care

To provide you with the deepest level of trauma-informed care, my practice operates exclusively as a private-pay (out-of-network) provider. While I do not bill health insurance companies directly, I choose this path because it directly benefits the safety, speed, and privacy of your healing:

  • Total Privacy & Confidentiality:

    Insurance companies require a permanent mental health diagnosis to authorize coverage. This diagnosis remains on your health record indefinitely. Private-pay ensures that your treatment history and goals remain strictly between us.

  • Customized Session Lengths (EMDR Intensives):

    Standard insurance models cap therapy sessions at a rigid 45 to 50 minutes. Processing deep trauma through EMDR requires space. Operating outside of insurance allows us to construct 90-minute blocks or multi-day EMDR intensives, preventing us from having to stop mid-process when a timer runs out.

  • No Arbitrary Treatment Caps:

    Your timeline is dictated entirely by your unique clinical needs and personal progress, not by a corporate policy checker or capped session allowances.

Utilizing Your Out-of-Network Benefits

Many premium PPO insurance plans reimburse between 40% and 80% of out-of-network mental health care. At the end of each month or intensive block, I will provide you with a detailed receipt called a superbill. You can submit this document directly to your insurer to seek direct reimbursement back into your bank account.

I also welcome Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) debit cards, allowing you to pay for your specialized care using pre-tax dollars.

You don't have to fit a particular title or diagnosis to benefit from therapy.

Some clients come to me after years of managing on their own. Others are looking for a more private, personalized approach to therapy that can accommodate demanding schedules and a desire for focused, intensive care. For those seeking an elevated level of privacy, flexibility, and individualized support, concierge therapy and intensive options are available on a private-pay basis. Therapy is an opportunity to invest in yourself.
