Private Practice Experience & Fees

Laura is a private practice provider and is not contracted with insurance companies. 

As such, all sessions are self-pay.

Privately paying for therapy ensures that there is no record of the sessions on insurance or medical files, offering an extra layer of privacy. For many clients, protecting their personal life and mental health information from scrutiny is often a high priority. 

No one has access to your client records.

Insurance often imposes limits on the number of therapy sessions or types of treatment covered. Privately paying for therapy allows for unlimited sessions or specific therapies that might not be covered by insurance, but are essential to mental health needs. 

Clients are able to determine their session frequency and duration.

Privately paying for therapy gives clients the freedom to choose any therapist they feel most comfortable with, without being restricted by insurance networks. 

This allows clients to select highly specialized or experienced therapists.

Laura offers highly personalized approaches, adapting techniques and treatment plans to each client and couple. Privately paying for therapy can enable clients to access these tailored services without concern for what is "covered" by insurance.

Private pay clients typically receive faster access to therapy because they avoid the bureaucratic delays associated with insurance approval. 

When new clients reach out to schedule an appointment with Laura, 

they can begin therapy promptly, often within 48 business hours or less. 

Laura offers a concierge-style approach to therapy, 

often with same-day appointments for established clients.

Laura does not provide monthly superbills for clients 

to submit to insurance for reimbursement. 

Providing a superbill implies that Laura is an "out of network provider", 

which then allows your insurance company the opportunity to request 

or audit your records to determine medical necessity for counseling.
