Fees & Insurance

At The OCD and Anxiety Center for Change, therapy is personalized, collaborative, and guided by what matters most to you. To support flexible, evidence-based care for OCD and anxiety, the practice operates as a self-pay practice and does not accept insurance.

This approach allows treatment decisions to be based on clinical need rather than insurance restrictions, supporting more effective and individualized care.

Why I Do Not Accept Insurance

Insurance companies often place limits on the type, length, frequency, and location of therapy they will cover. These restrictions can interfere with evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety, particularly when care is most effective through:

• More than one session per week
• Longer or extended sessions
• Intensive treatment formats
• Sessions provided outside the office (such as at home, school, work, or in community settings)

Many insurance plans do not reimburse for these services. By remaining out of network, we are able to work together to create a treatment plan that aligns with your needs, goals, and values—without being constrained by coverage limitations.

Confidentiality and Privacy

As a self-pay practice, your treatment is not automatically shared with an insurance company and does not become part of a permanent insurance medical record unless you choose to submit claims yourself. Many clients value this added level of confidentiality and control over their personal health information.

Fees

• Initial intake appointment (60 minutes): $240
• Ongoing therapy sessions (50 minutes): $200

Sessions that are longer or shorter than 50 minutes are pro-rated based on the hourly rate, calculated in 5-minute increments.

Out-of-Network Benefits

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may request a superbill to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so it is recommended that you contact your insurance provider directly to understand your out-of-network benefits prior to starting therapy.
