Siobhan Strickhart Psychotherapy is not an in network provider for any insurance companies. I am happy to provide you with a superbill that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. I recommend that you check your benefits with your insurance company before beginning therapy.

I am also more than happy to help with navigating this, so please reach out with any questions.

Choosing to work with me as a private pay therapist offers several benefits to my clients:

Increased Flexibility and Choice: As a private pay therapist, I have the freedom to tailor our sessions to meet your specific needs without the limitations imposed by insurance panels. This allows for more personalized and effective therapy, as we can focus on what matters most to you.

Expedited Access to Care: As a private pay client, you have the advantage of receiving services promptly without worrying about the lengthy approval process and administrative hassles imposed by insurance companies. This means you can start therapy sooner and receive the support you need without unnecessary delays.

Enhanced Privacy and Confidentiality: As a private pay therapist, your privacy and confidentiality are prioritized. Since we do not have to involve insurance companies, your personal information remains securely within our therapeutic relationship. Insurance companies often limit coverage to services deemed "medically necessary," which can restrict the scope of your care. Additionally, utilizing insurance necessitates a mental health diagnosis being documented in your permanent health record. As a private pay therapist, your sessions and progress stay between us.

Customized Treatment Approach: Without the constraints imposed by insurance requirements, we can explore a broader range of therapeutic modalities and techniques that best align with your unique goals and preferences. This flexibility allows for a more tailored and effective treatment experience.

Seamless Payment Process: Working with me as a private pay therapist means you have a streamlined and hassle-free payment process. With a credit card on file, you don't need to worry about submitting claims or waiting for reimbursement. Payments are automatically processed, allowing you to focus solely on your therapeutic journey.

It's important to carefully consider what approach best suits your needs when deciding whether to work with me as a private pay therapist or utilize insurance coverage. By weighing the benefits of personalized care, privacy, and streamlined payment against potential insurance restrictions, you can make an informed choice that aligns with your unique circumstances and goals.

Online therapy works very similarly to in person therapy, however instead of being in an office you could be at home relaxing with a cup of coffee, taking a break at work, taking some time on a family vacation to talk. You have a busy life and I am here to help make this process as easy as possible.

After we have scheduled your first session and I have received all of your intake forms I will send you a link where you can go when it is time for your appointment. Please save this link because it will be the same link every time we meet.

For online therapy, it is important that you have access to a computer/phone/tablet that has a working microphone and camera.

I understand that unexpected circumstances and emergencies arise, and exceptions will be given within reason.
