BEing yoU does not accept insurance. Here is why:

​

Lack of privacy and confidentiality

If you're concerned about confidentiality or potential long-term consequences, it may be worth considering treatment options that don't involve using insurance. When a therapist accepts insurance, they are required to disclose your diagnosis and treatment notes to the insurance company in order to receive payment. This can compromise your privacy and give others access to your private health information.

​

Unintended Consequences

In addition to privacy concerns, using insurance to pay for treatment can also have unintended consequences. For instance, insurance companies may only cover treatment for certain mental health diagnoses, leaving those seeking treatment for personal growth or exploration without coverage. This can force the therapist to provide a diagnosis that the patient doesn't actually have, potentially leading to higher insurance premiums.

​

Treatment Limitations

Furthermore, insurance companies may limit the types of treatment methods that can be used, which can limit the effectiveness of treatment. Ultimately, it's important to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of using insurance to pay for treatment, and to weigh those against other options that may provide greater privacy and flexibility
