At McLean Health Psychology Specialists, I am committed to providing exceptional care tailored to your unique needs, values, and goals. As a board-certified health psychologist in McLean, Virginia, I have intentionally chosen to maintain a private-pay practice in order to offer a level of individualized attention, clinical excellence, and discretion that is often difficult to achieve within the constraints of insurance-based care.

Why Private Pay?

Choosing a private pay model allows us to focus on what truly matters—you. Here are some important benefits to consider:

• Greater Flexibility in Treatment: Without the restrictions imposed by insurance providers, we can tailor your treatment plan based solely on your needs—not on diagnosis codes, session limits, or rigid timelines.

• Choice of Provider: You have the freedom to choose a provider who aligns with your values, personality, and therapeutic goals—not just someone in-network. This enhances the therapeutic relationship and, ultimately, your results.

• Privacy and Confidentiality: Insurance companies often require detailed information about your mental health in order to approve services. In a private pay setting, your records remain entirely between you and your therapist.

• No Surprises or Hidden Costs: With private pay, you know the cost of your care upfront. This transparency supports a more collaborative and stress-free process.

I understand that navigating the financial aspect of therapy is an important part of your decision. While I do not bill insurance directly, I am happy to provide you with a superbill upon request, which you may submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan. Check with your insurance provider to determine your coverage.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help you make the most informed and comfortable decision for your care.
