Choosing to work outside of insurance means your care is shaped by what you need, not by what a plan will cover.
- No insurance-driven limits on how often we meet or how long treatment lasts.
- No diagnosis required to begin, and nothing shared with an insurance company.
- Specialized care from a psychologist focused on eating disorders and relational healing.
- Superbills provided, so you can seek out-of-network reimbursement.
