Your care.
Your goals.
Your way forward.
More Room for What Matters
We have intentionally chosen to remain an out-of-network practice. This allows our therapists to focus on meaningful clinical work instead of shaping care around insurance requirements and limitations. Our mission is to provide therapy that prioritizes your well-being, autonomy, and privacy.
Your Mental Health Deserves Thoughtful Attention
Private pay therapy allows your therapist to make recommendations based on your needs and goals, with flexibility to determine the approach that best supports your progress.
Care Built Around You
Treatment plans are shaped around your concerns, priorities, and goals rather than insurance guidelines.
Flexible Sessions
Flexible scheduling and appointment lengths may be available when clinically appropriate.
Focused on Progress
More attention can be directed toward your therapeutic work and less toward insurance-related paperwork.
Approaches That Fit
Our clinicians can use evidence-based approaches suited to your individual needs and treatment goals.
A Strong Therapeutic Relationship
Build a supportive relationship with your therapist without unnecessary outside involvement in treatment decisions.
Care That Isn't Rushed
Our therapists are committed to providing care that is thoughtful, individualized, and attentive to your progress.
Your story deserves care and respect.
Protecting Your Privacy
When insurance is used, therapists are typically required to provide information to support medical necessity. This may include a diagnosis, clinical notes or treatment summaries, progress updates, and treatment plans. Insurance companies may also review records through audits.
Insurance companies have privacy protections in place, but information submitted for claims becomes part of your insurance record. Choosing private pay can give you greater control over whether your care is shared with an insurance company.
This may be especially important for people who:
- Value greater control over personal health information.
- Work in professions where privacy is particularly important.
- Prefer not to receive a diagnosis solely for insurance reimbursement.
- Want to focus on personal growth, relationships, stress, or life transitions.
Freedom From Insurance Limitations
Insurance policies may determine whether therapy is considered medically necessary, which diagnoses qualify, how many sessions may be covered, whether continued treatment is approved, and what types of therapy may be reimbursed.
Therapy Isn't Just for Mental Illness
Many people seek counseling not because they have a diagnosable mental health condition, but because they want to improve their quality of life. These are meaningful reasons to pursue therapy, even when insurance may not consider them medically necessary.
Your Insurance May Still Help
Wilson Counseling does not bill insurance directly. However, many clients have out-of-network mental health benefits through their insurance plans.
If your plan includes out-of-network coverage, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement amounts vary depending on your specific plan, and submitting a superbill does not guarantee reimbursement.
We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to confirm your benefits and understand its reimbursement process.
We also accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards for eligible services.
