What are the benefits of an out-of-network provider?

Accessibility: When you work with an out-of-network provider the number of choices you have for what provider you want to work with and what type of therapy you receive increases. This means you have the ability to be seen faster and more often, and will most likely reach your goals in a shorter amount of time.

Confidence & Control: Oftentimes people seek out therapy for personal growth, daily stressors or relationships vs clinical anxiety, depression or another psychological diagnosis. When utilizing in-network options it may be harder to find a specialist you connect with and understands your specific situation. When you choose an out-of-network provider, you are most likely choosing someone who has invested time in understanding the nuances of a certain population or problem. This should increase your confidence in their ability to help you which sets you up for success, before you even start!

Increased Privacy: In-network providers are required to give information about your treatment to your insurance company. This will include a psychological diagnosis and may include your session notes, which include sensitive and personal information.

More options!!: If you are looking for effective treatment you want options! Chances are there are more options for out-of-network providers than in-network, which means you get to shop around and find the right provider for you.
