Why Paying Cash for Therapy Can Be the Best Decision You Make
An empowered approach to mental wellness—for those who live life at a higher frequency.
Therapy without limitations. Healing without labels.
If you’re navigating burnout, trauma, high-stakes leadership, or relationship fatigue, you deserve therapy that meets you at your level—not one that filters your needs through insurance coding.
More and more professionals, creatives, and high-profile individuals are choosing to pay privately for therapy—and for good reason.
Here’s why cash-pay therapy is a powerful, client-centered choice.
No Diagnosis Required
Unlike insurance-based therapy, private pay doesn’t require a formal mental health diagnosis to begin. That means we can work on what actually matters to you—without reducing your experience to a clinical label.
Maybe you’re grieving. Maybe you’re growing. Maybe you’re ready to unlearn survival-mode patterns.
This is a space to do that—without needing to “qualify” for care.
True Privacy and Discretion
When you pay out of pocket, your care stays between us.
There’s:
No insurance trail
No database entry
No third-party approvals
This level of confidentiality and containment is especially important for public figures, high-level professionals, and those navigating deeply personal growth.
Your therapy is sacred space—not searchable data.

The Freedom to Go Deeper
Cash-pay therapy allows for:
Flexible scheduling
Extended or intensive sessions
Focused work on your goals, not insurance criteria
Use of advanced methods like EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, or EFT
It’s therapy that moves at the pace of trust and transformation—not reimbursement.
Premium-Level Care
Many of the most skilled, experienced, and integrative therapists don’t accept
insurance—because they prioritize clinical excellence over billing systems.
Private pay gives you access to:
Deep therapeutic work over surface-level symptom relief
Long-term, sustainable change
A tailored, high-touch approach to your healing
If you value depth, insight, and intelligent support, this model is likely your best match.
An Investment in You
Therapy isn’t a luxury—it’s an intentional investment in your emotional health,
relationships, and sense of self.
When you pay out of pocket, you commit to showing up for yourself on your terms. And that commitment often creates a deeper level of engagement and change.

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
Cancellation Policy
As a courtesy to all clients, any reschedules or cancellations are honored if advance notice is given with at least 24-hours advance notice. Any late cancellations or no shows are subject to a late cancel/no show fee in the amount owed at session. Two consecutive no shows or cancels constitute reconsideration of readiness for therapy and appropriate referrals out to other resources can be provided. Any thirty day time period of not hearing from a client after a cancelled service will necessitate closing the client-therapist relationship out.
