In this week’s episode, I share why I’ve chosen not to accept insurance in my holistic, trauma-informed practice—and how that decision protects depth, privacy, and person-first care. I unpack what happens behind the scenes with approvals, session limits, diagnostic labels, and clawbacks; how insurance can pressure a “diagnosis-first” approach; and why private-pay can create space for individualized grief and trauma work, somatic and integrative modalities, and genuine therapeutic pacing. I also name the trade-offs—like slower caseload growth and affordability concerns—while offering a transparent view of how I think about ethics, access, and quality. Whether you’re a client or a clinician, this conversation invites you to consider what kind of care best supports real healing.
