The short answer is no. The decision to stop working directly with insurance providers was not made lightly. It is part of my own liberation and a necessary step to protect the integrity of the care I offer.

Insurance often limits what healing can look like. It tends to prioritize diagnosis, treatment plans that fit within narrow timelines, and reimbursement rules that do not reflect the real needs of trauma survivors or neurodivergent clients. These systems were not created with our wholeness in mind.

As a therapist practicing from a decolonial and trauma-informed lens, I cannot continue to participate in structures that mirror the same oppression many of us are trying to heal from. This includes the racism, ableism, classism, and patriarchy embedded in our healthcare systems.

Choosing to no longer accept insurance allows me to offer therapy that is more flexible, relational, and grounded in mutual respect. It also supports my sustainability as a provider and honors the emotional labor and presence I bring to this work.

Can I still get reimbursed?

Yes, you may be able to request partial reimbursement from your insurance provider if they offer out-of-network benefits. I can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) upon request. Be sure to check with your insurance company to see if they reimburse for out-of-network mental health services.
