Why to Chose an Out -of-Network Mental Health Clinician

There are many reasons why an out of network clinician may make sense for you.

For starters, you may not want to wait to begin therapy. Right now mental health clinicians are in high demand and there are long waitlists especially if you want to use your insurance to cover the cost. But don’t wait for care if you don’t have to. Know your mental health benefits information! Some insurance companies will reimburse for out of network providers aka having good out of network benefits.

Some people want to keep their mental health private. In order to get paid mental health clinicians have to provide a diagnosis to insurance companies that can be seen by those with access to your insurance information. Some people like to keep that information private.

Out of network clinicians are not constrained by insurance companies with length and number of sessions. An out of network clinician can tailor services to your needs including more or longer sessions.

Finally you want a clinician with a unique skill set. Private pay therapists often have more specialized skills sets. If you come across a therapist with skills that directly speak to your needs, reach out!
