Why Interwoven Healing Does Not Accept Insurance
Interwoven Healing is a private-pay practice. This means that I do not bill insurance companies directly for therapy, meditation, spiritual coaching, or other services.
I know this may not be the right fit for everyone, and I fully respect that insurance can be an important resource for many people. My decision to remain private pay is intentional and connected to the kind of work I offer, the values of this practice, and the experience I want clients to have.
More Flexibility in Your Care
Private pay allows us to make decisions about your care based on your needs, goals, and pace rather than insurance requirements.
This means more flexibility with:
the focus of our work
the number of sessions
the frequency of sessions
the methods we use
the length and direction of the therapeutic process
Many clients come to Interwoven Healing seeking deeper insight, identity exploration, neurodivergent-affirming care, trauma-informed support, holistic counseling, or mind-body-spirit integration. These forms of work do not always fit neatly into an insurance-driven model.
Not Everything Needs to Be Pathologized
In order to use insurance for therapy, a mental health diagnosis is typically required. While diagnoses can be helpful and validating for some people, I also believe that not every human struggle needs to be viewed through a medical or pathological lens.
Many experiences are better understood through context: relationships, trauma, identity, culture, nervous system patterns, neurodivergence, grief, marginalization, and the ways people have adapted to survive.
Interwoven Healing is grounded in the belief that you do not have to be reduced to be understood.
Private pay allows us to explore the full picture of your experience without needing to organize the work around a diagnosis when that is not clinically or personally meaningful.
Room for Holistic and Integrative Services
In addition to therapy, Interwoven Healing offers services such as guided meditation and spiritual coaching. These services are not psychotherapy and are not covered by insurance.
Because this practice includes both clinical and non-clinical offerings, private pay allows each service to remain clearly defined, ethically held, and aligned with its intended purpose.
Less Administrative Burden, More Presence
Insurance billing often requires significant administrative work, including documentation, treatment justification, claim management, and communication with insurance companies. While some of that structure can be useful in certain settings, it can also take time and energy away from the work I most want to prioritize.
Remaining private pay allows me to devote more attention to client care, continuing education, consultation, training, and creating a thoughtful therapeutic experience.
Superbills and Reduced-Fee Options
Although I do not bill insurance directly, I can provide superbills for individual therapy sessions upon request. Some clients choose to submit superbills to their insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Reimbursement is not guaranteed, so I recommend contacting your insurance provider ahead of time to ask about your out-of-network benefits.
A limited number of reduced-fee appointments are also available based on need and availability.
A Thoughtful Choice
Private pay is not about creating barriers. It is about creating a practice structure that supports flexibility, depth, privacy, and care that is guided by the client’s needs rather than outside requirements.
If you have questions about fees, superbills, or whether this model may work for you, you are welcome to reach out.
