Currently not accepting insurance
I understand that having health insurance can be important when you have medical issues and expenses. However, I strongly encourage you to consider the long-term implications before using your insurance for your counseling sessions. Using your medical insurance for counseling has some risks involved. In order to use your medical insurance for counseling, you must be given a mental disorder diagnosis and that diagnosis will become a part of your permanent medical record. Having a mental diagnosis on your record may carry long-term implications and may hinder you from being able to obtain life insurance, disability or health insurance in the future. Additionally, filing an insurance claim means your diagnosis, dates of service, etc., are no longer totally confidential, and your insurance company will be aware of your treatment and diagnosis.
Some therapists accept insurance for reimbursement without informing their clients of this crucial information. I want you to be fully informed of these risks and implications before you make a decision to use your insurance for counseling. Hopefully, this knowledge will help prevent any unwanted emotional, relational and financial stress that may be caused by having an mental disorder diagnosis on your medical record.
For individuals who completely understand the risks involved with being given a mental diagnosis, and who still want to use their insurance for counseling, I can provide a statement for insurance reimbursement for out-of-network counseling
