When using insurance, their employees (clinicans or not) can access a host of your information, randomly audit it, and track your progress. ​By not involving your insurance company your private personal information stays between you and me. I'm the only person who has access to it except under specific circumstances which are outlined in the intake paperwork and discussed in our first session.

Insurance requires a diagnosis the first session you attend therapy, which goes against our ethics to rush one for insurance to cover therapy. Unfortunately, there are certain diagnoses that can result in being denied/have issues obtaining life insurance, health insurance, and qualifying for certain careers. 

Insurance companies often authorize a limited number of sessions for therapy that can be discontinued for a variety of reasons. With private pay therapy, you have the control to determine both your duration and frequency of therapy. 

Insurance companies practice using the medical model, which requires a "medically necessary" diagnosis to seek counseling services. Most insurance companies do not cover relationship issues, couples counseling, self-improvement and many other things that people benefit from therapy with.
