Insurance and why I don't take it.

It can be really hard to tell folks I don't take insurance. I was in network with insurances for most of my career and I finally gave up on it. I know it might seem unfair when you have insurance that you can't always find therapists who accept it. I had some of the same issues myself when seeking a compatible therapist to guide me and listen to me. I can give you the whole list of reasons, of which there are many, for why I don't accept insurance anymore but instead I'm going to link you to an NPR article on why a lot of a lot of clinicians have stopped taking insurance. It doesn't change the frustration you might feel when seeking someone in network, but it does shine a light on what it takes away from a provider if they continue to take insurance as their career progresses.

I hope this is helpful in some way.
