Why I Don’t Accept Insurance (And how you can still use your out of network insurance benefits)

To protect your privacy and provide you with the highest level of care, I do not participate in insurance panels. However, many clients successfully use their out-of-network benefits to get reimbursed. To make this process easier, I’ve partnered with Mentaya, a simple tool that helps you get reimbursed without the stress of handling superbills or dealing with insurance companies.

Mentaya is perfect if you:
• Have out-of-network benefits
• Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance
• Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement
• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!

Here’s how it works:
1. Sign up for Mentaya: https://mentaya.co/inviteclient/psyhaustherapy
2. Our practice will enter your sessions into the platform.
3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.
4. You get reimbursed by insurance! Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required,
dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies. It’s risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if we are a good fit?

Finding the right therapist is a lot like talking to a close friend—it’s built on chemistry and trust. Therapy is a unique professional relationship focused on your overall wellbeing. As your therapist, I’ll challenge you compassionately and be open and honest, because your progress matters to me.
During our consultation call, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy. I’ll share my background and approach, and we’ll explore how I can support you in managing your struggles. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions, and we can discuss availability and next steps.

What are the steps for starting therapy?

Start by booking a consultation, then we’ll schedule your first session if we’re a good match.

What is therapy like?

Therapy can be intimidating, emotional, energizing, exhausting, fun, and heartwarming — sometimes all at once! Like any new experience, it comes with risks and rewards. Exploring unhealthy coping patterns or painful memories may bring up strong emotions you’ve been holding inside for years.
But with my support, clients begin to understand themselves through these difficult feelings and come out stronger, happier, and more grounded. Life is a journey, and therapy is part of that path of self-discovery and growth. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.

Why don’t you accept insurance?

I believe therapy is a special and confidential space—not something to be treated like a typical business transaction. While using insurance can reduce your out-of-pocket costs, it often comes with compromises that don’t align with my values as a therapist.
Working with insurance companies requires sharing sensitive details about your treatment, including diagnoses, which can impact your privacy. Additionally, therapy is a personal process that often moves at its own pace. Insurance providers frequently impose limits on the length or type of treatment they’ll cover, and they may stop funding if they don’t agree with our treatment plan.
For me, the only people who should have a say in your therapy are you and me. That’s why I choose to provide care outside of insurance, to protect your privacy and ensure your treatment stays focused solely on your needs.

How does payment work?

Sessions are $175 and payable by card through a secure platform. I’ll provide receipts or coordinate with Mentaya for out-of-network claims.

What is your Cancellation Policy?

I value both of our time. However, if for whatever reason you need to cancel our session I require a 24 hour notice before your appointment. Otherwise you may be charged the full hour of your session. Please contact me if you have further questions.

How often are sessions?

Most clients start with weekly sessions. We’ll adjust the frequency based on your needs and progress.

How long should I expect to be in therapy?

It varies! Some clients come for short-term work, while others stay longer for deeper healing. We’ll tailor the process to your goals.

Why is a therapy session only 50 minutes?

A standard “therapeutic hour” is 50 minutes, which gives time to reflect and transition between sessions. Longer sessions are available by request.
