Insurance:
Embodied Psychotherapy is not in network with any insurance. Over time we realize that often time insurance companies posed several barriers to treatment and here we outlined some of the reasons that made Embodied a fee for service treatment.
1st. In sharing sensitive information to insurances, we make our clients vulnerable to HIPPA violations that are not uncommon to the insurance world
2nd. Embodied psychotherapy believes that confidentiality and privacy are paramount for the success of our work. Insurance companies require us to share a diagnosis, which often times comes to a detriment to our client. We do not work with insurances in order to preserve the privacy we believe you deserve in your journey. In this way our clients get to make those decisions of when and where they want to share themselves and how much information they want to provide.
3rd. Although we are out of network for insurances, we can provide a superbill at the end of each month in case you would like to submit it to your insurance if you so desire. Some insurance may be able to cover for some or part of the fees.
4th. Important decisions such as frequency and duration of treatment are not determined by third parties such as insurances. Instead, those decisions are made between you and me allowing for more autonomy and agency in your flourishing process.
5th. Not working with insurance allows me to be flexible and really ensure a good fit. The work is really rewarding because most clients who choose to work with me are very invested in their treatment and that creates a context for rich work and best results in obtaining the goals needed.
