Several reasons might motivate someone to self-pay for therapy instead of using insurance. Here are a few:

1. Confidentiality: Self-paying provides a higher level of privacy. If insurance is used, the insurance company has access to the client's diagnosis, treatment plans, and progress notes. Some people might prefer to keep this information entirely private.
2. Choice of Therapist: Not all therapists accept insurance, and some of the best therapists might only take private pay. Therefore, to see a specific therapist, a client might choose to self-pay.
3. Avoiding Diagnosis: In order for insurance companies to cover therapy costs, a mental health diagnosis is often required. Some clients might not meet the criteria for a mental health diagnosis, or they might not want to have a diagnosis on their medical record.
4. Scheduling Flexibility: Therapists who don't deal with insurance may offer more flexible scheduling options. Some therapists might offer longer session times or different formats (like walking therapy or online therapy) that may not be covered by insurance.
5. Control over Treatment: When using insurance, treatment might need to follow certain protocols and timelines set by the insurance company. By self-paying, the client and therapist have more freedom to determine the course and length of treatment.
