Why Therapists Often Don’t Take Insurance
Prioritizes Your Care
Insurance companies require a diagnosis and determine length of care based on this. They also can decide that you are not progressing fast enough and when you should be done with therapy.
Ensures Your Confidentiality
When you are required to give a diagnosis this stays on file in your records. While this may not seem like a concern in the future you could be denied life insurance due to certain diagnosis.
Not Everything is Covered
Insurance may not pay when someone is experiencing normal life stressors, working on relationship issues, career concerns, or addressing past trauma.
Overextends Your Therapist
Therapists that take insurance are often seeing too many clients and are mentally overextended. You want a therapist who is alert and attentive to you at each appointment. You deserve a therapist that remembers details about previous conversations you have had without having to repeat them each week.
I would prefer your mental health treatment be determined by you and I rather than insurance companies.
