Why Some Clients Choose Self-Pay 

Many clients intentionally choose self-pay therapy for:

• reduced insurance limitations

Reduced-Rate Availability

Some clinicians reserve a limited number of reduced-rate appointments for clients experiencing financial hardship while clinician caseloads are still growing. Availability varies based on clinician demand and scheduling capacity.
