No, we do not accept any insurance. However, upon request, we can help you prepare a superbill to get reimbursement for the services you directly pay for through your out-of-network (OON) benefits with insurance if you do want to use this specific part of your insurance benefits(if you have it). See FAQ( below) about how to figure out if you have OON benefits or this step-by-step guide on navigating your Out-of-Network Benefits for therapy.

We choose to limit my interaction with insurance for several reasons. One is to protect your privacy and confidentiality. Mostly, therapy while using insurance means your therapy isn’t actually confidential. Insurance company’s legally have a right to access your confidential information for service utilization confirmation and to assess medical necessity. Also, with insurance we have to prove you are “sick enough” to need services and thus a diagnosis is required. We work from a place of strengths, not deficits, and not everyone who comes to therapy fits criteria for a diagnosis. That doesn’t mean you don’t “need” therapy or it’s not helpful to improve your wellbeing. We offer an option to choose yourself over the typical systems of operation.

We accept payment via all major credit cards and health savings accounts. We expect full payment at the end of each therapy session.

Ask these questions when speaking to your insurance company about benefits:

1. How much of my deductible has been met this year?

2. What is my out-of-network deductible for outpatient mental health? (Outpatient means treatment outside a hospital.)

3. What is my out-of-network coinsurance for outpatient mental health?

4. Do I need a referral from an in-network provider to see someone out-of-network?

5. How do I submit claim forms for reimbursement? (Claims are forms that are sent to your insurance company to receive reimbursement for sessions you paid for out of pocket.)

We offer specialized, comprehensive care to clients without the constraints of insurance companies. We understand that each individuals needs vary and work with all of our clients to create a detailed treatment plan that focuses on them. Your health, privacy, and safety are of utmost importance to us. Here is an article that further details the benefits of a private pay clinician.

We do not currently have availability for sliding scale sessions. If you are in need of free or low-cost therapy, we recommend Open Path Psychotherapy Collective and the Maryland Pro Bono Counseling Project. If you have insurance and are not financially able to invest in out-of-pocket therapy or use your Out of Network benefits, please contact your insurance carrier for a list of approved providers.
