Billing
Payment Methods Accepted
Wayfarer Therapy accepts cash, checks, and major credit cards as payment. Payment is expected at the end of each session. Late payments and bounced checks may result in additional fees.
Why We Do Not Accept Insurance
Wayfarer Therapy has made a conscious choice to not accept insurance as payment for counseling. Insurance companies often place limits on how counseling is conducted and how many sessions they will pay for. Simply put, paying directly for counseling puts you in control.
Additionally, insurance companies have a different philosophy of what counseling is, tending to view it as medical treatment. This often requires the counselor to diagnose a client, something Wayfarer Therapy likes to avoid when possible due to stigmatization that can occur as a result. Wayfarer Therapy views counseling as something people can benefit from regardless of the presence of a diagnosable mental disorder.
