Private Pay Therapy in Michigan

Out-of-Network Insurance Support

Beginning April 1, 2026, my therapy practice will operate as a private-pay practice, and I will no longer participate as an in-network provider with insurance companies.

Why I chose private-pay therapy

This decision reflects my professional and ethical values. Over time, working within insurance systems has felt increasingly misaligned with the kind of care I want to provide.

Insurance companies often require diagnoses, documentation, and treatment justification that can interfere with privacy, flexibility, and the natural process of healing. A private-pay model allows therapy to remain focused on the human experience — not on meeting insurance criteria.

My goal is to provide therapy that is compassionate, individualized and grounded in respect for each person’s story.

Using out-of-network insurance benefits

Many insurance plans offer out-of-network mental health benefits. If you have out-of-network coverage, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement.

I can provide a detailed superbill after each session, which you may submit to your insurance company. I also recommend services like Reimbursify, a secure service that submits claims on your behalf and simplifies the reimbursement process.

If you prefer in-network therapy

If you need or prefer to work with an in-network therapist, I am happy to offer referrals to trusted providers in Michigan who accept insurance.

My approach to care

I provide therapy that is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for the complexity of being human. My work supports clients who want meaningful, thoughtful, and sustainable growth, not quick fixes or rigid labels.

Choosing private-pay therapy allows me to practice with greater integrity, presence and care.

If you have questions about fees, out-of-network benefits or whether we are a good fit, I welcome those conversations.
