No Insurance, No Limits: Delivering Flexible, Personalized Care

Expert therapy with a sliding scale for Personalized Care

At Cypress Counseling & Wellness, our mission is to help you experience meaningful growth and healing by providing the highest quality care in the most effective way possible. We believe in making our services accessible to everyone who needs them, and while not accepting insurance might seem counterintuitive, it is actually key to achieving our goals. By stepping away from insurance constraints, we offer flexible, personalized care that puts your needs first—without the limitations of insurance coverage. 

This choice allows us to focus entirely on what will best serve you. We invest in advanced therapeutic modalities, tailor treatment to your specific goals, and offer flexible payment options and sliding scale therapy fees that fit your financial situation. Without insurance dictating the terms, we provide truly comprehensive care, keeping your well-being at the center of everything we do.

Mental Health Care on Your Terms, Not Insurance’s

At Cypress Counseling & Wellness, we believe your mental health is too important to be limited by the constraints imposed by insurance. Insurance rules typically dictate:

  • Why you can receive care. For insurance to cover your treatment, you must meet specific diagnostic criteria and receive a diagnosis that is reported to the insurer. This can be problematic for those who may not fit neatly into a diagnosis but still need support. By not working with insurance, we can provide the care you need without forcing you into a label or compromising the quality of your treatment.
  • Who can see you. With insurance, you might be limited to in-network providers, regardless of whether they are the best fit for you. At Cypress Counseling & Wellness, finding the right therapist for you is the first priority. Our team has a wide array of clinical expertise, and we want to match you with the clinician best suited for your journey—not just the one who happens to be covered by your insurance. By not accepting insurance, we ensure you’re matched with the right person for your unique situation.
  • What treatments are allowed and for how long. Insurance often restricts the types of treatments covered and the duration of care. Many of the evidence-based therapies we use, such as neurofeedback, Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), photobiomodulation (PBM), pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), audio-visual entrainment (AVE), heart rate variability (HRV) training, and wellness panels, are not covered by most insurance plans despite their effectiveness. By stepping away from insurance, we can offer the most beneficial treatments for your needs—without a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • When and how often you can access care. Insurance companies frequently limit the number of sessions you can have and require extensive approvals, which can delay care or prevent you from getting timely support. At Cypress Counseling & Wellness, you and your therapist decide how often you need sessions—without artificial caps or bureaucratic hurdles.

Commitment to Clinical Excellence

At Cypress Counseling & Wellness, we are committed to delivering the best possible care through ongoing education, advanced certifications, and training for our team. Our clinicians continuously expand their skills to provide the most effective treatments available. This includes advanced therapeutic modalities that insurance often doesn’t cover, because we believe in using the approaches that best support your healing journey. Even our space is trauma informed; we invest in welcoming environment that signals safety and encourages growth, providing the resources that you need.

Tailored Treatment, Not Just What’s “Covered”

We know that every client’s journey is unique, which is why we offer a range of services beyond what most insurance plans cover. Most insurance companies won’t pay for valuable integrative therapies like neurofeedback, SSP, PBM, PEMF, AVE, HRV training, and wellness panels, even though these approaches may be essential for clients working through trauma, anxiety, or emotional regulation. In fact, many insurance plans don’t even cover couples or family therapy, much less working with parents trying to understand how to support their kids through challenges! By not contracting with insurance, we can offer the best of modern mental health care—treatments that work for you, not just what’s reimbursable.

Protecting Your Privacy in Sensitive Moments

When you use insurance, your personal information—including clinical notes and diagnoses—must often be shared with the insurer to justify your treatment. This can feel invasive, especially when working through deeply personal issues. By staying out of the insurance system, we can protect your privacy in a way that honors your story and gives you peace of mind.

A Commitment to Accessibility, Without the Strings

We understand that private pay can seem inaccessible, but we work hard to make care affordable and meet you where you are:

  • Sliding Scale Fees: We offer tiered pricing and a sliding scale to help ensure cost isn’t a barrier.
  • Flexible Payment Plans: We work with you so financial concerns don’t stand in the way of getting the help you need.
  • Out-of-Network Reimbursement: If you still want to use your insurance benefits, we provide the necessary documentation to help you seek reimbursement.

Ultimately, we want to make it possible for anyone who wants to invest in their mental health to do so—without feeling financially overwhelmed.

Your Perfect Fit, Without Insurance Barriers

Finding the right therapist is a deeply personal decision, and you shouldn’t be limited by which providers are covered by your insurance. We want you to be matched with the clinician who best aligns with your needs—based on specialty, experience, and connection—rather than what’s dictated by a list of in-network providers. By focusing on fit, we’re able to offer a truly tailored therapeutic experience.

Our Promise to You

At Cypress Counseling & Wellness, we are fully invested in your growth and healing. Life’s challenges can be tough, and we’re honored to walk alongside you through it all. We’re committed to making this journey as supportive and accessible as possible, offering the highest quality care without the restrictions of insurance. Our mission is to empower you to seek mental health care—on your terms.

Thank you for trusting us to be part of your story. It’s a privilege to help guide you through life’s ups, downs, and transitions, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you.

    Exploring the complexity of people and their stories, finding and celebrating redemption, strength, and courage in the wake of suffering, and seeking purpose and meaning in daily life—these are the pursuits I share with my clients. Every day, I’m in awe of the impossible things they accomplish. Truly, how lucky am I? Outside of my practice, I soak up life with my husband, three kids, a house full of animals, and more chickens than I ever expected.
