Is Using Insurance for Therapy the Right Choice for You?
Understanding the benefits and challenges of using insurance when seeking therapy can help you decide what is best for you.
Benefits of Using Insurance
-
More Affordable: Insurance can make therapy more accessible, especially for ongoing support.
-
More Options: Many therapists accept insurance, giving you additional choices.
-
Consistency in Care: With insurance, therapy may feel more sustainable in the long term, easing financial worries.
Things to Consider
-
Privacy Matters: Insurance requires sharing some of your personal information for claims, which may feel uncomfortable.
-
Limited Flexibility: Insurance might set restrictions on session numbers or treatment options.
-
Fewer Choices: Longer sessions (such as 90-minute EMDR sessions and EMDR Intensives) are not typically covered by insurance, which can limit your treatment options.
