Do you take Insurance? No. Here’s why. 

Insurance Card

We understand that therapy is a significant investment, and that for many medical issues, insurance helps. However, for a significant number of reasons, Jade Therapy Kansas City does not take medical insurance – as is the case for a significant majority of therapists.

Privacy, Autonomy, and Customized Care

1. Enhanced Privacy

When therapy sessions are billed to insurance, sensitive information may be shared with third parties, including insurance companies. By opting not to take insurance, I can maintain a higher level of confidentiality, ensuring that your personal and mental health information remains private. 

2. Increased Autonomy

Clients who pay out of pocket for therapy often experience greater autonomy in their treatment. Without the constraints imposed by insurance companies—such as session limits, diagnoses, and treatment protocols—I am able to design a customized approach that aligns with the unique needs and preferences of each client. This flexibility can enhance your therapeutic experience and promote more meaningful outcomes.

3. Customized Care

Not being tied to insurance allows me to focus solely on the needs of their clients. This means:

  • Personalized Treatment: I can curate our work to be tailored to your goals and circumstances, without the limitations of standardized insurance requirements.
  • Extended Session Lengths: We have the flexibility to adjust session lengths based on your needs, allowing for deeper exploration and processing during appointments.
  • Innovative Approaches: I can integrate diverse therapeutic modalities and techniques that best suit you, rather than adhering to insurance guidelines.

4. Avoiding Insurance Limitations

Insurance companies often impose restrictions on the types of therapy covered, which can limit the options available to clients. By choosing not to accept insurance, I can provide a broader range of services and specialties, ensuring that clients receive the care that resonates with them.
