Why I Choose to Offer Private, Personalized Care

I have chosen not to accept insurance so that I can provide high-quality, personalized psychiatric care without the restrictions and limitations imposed by insurance companies. Insurance often dictates the length of appointments, the types of treatments covered, and the frequency of visits—compromising the ability to deliver truly individualized care.

By operating outside the constraints of insurance, I am able to:

  • Offer longer, more in-depth appointments that allow for comprehensive evaluations and thoughtful follow-ups.

  • Ensure privacy and confidentiality, as insurance companies require detailed records that may not always be in your best interest to disclose.

  • Focus entirely on patient care, rather than meeting insurance-mandated requirements that may not align with your best interests.

  • Offer more timely appointments and flexible scheduling, so you don’t have to wait weeks or months to be seen.

  • Provide flexible treatment options, without being limited to what an insurance company deems “necessary” or “covered.”

  • Eliminate treatment delays caused by insurance restrictions, prior authorizations, and coverage limitations.
