Why choose virtual therapy?
Online therapy has been shown to be as effective as in-person therapy. Here are some benefits or advantages of online therapy:
Easier access: Access care from the comfort of your own home. No travel required! You have enough to squeeze into your busy schedule, do not let time get in the way of living the life you want!
More flexibility: More options for appointment times (e.g., child sessions while you are cooking dinner or evening couples sessions when the kids are in bed).
Reduced burden: Eliminate the costs of travel time and gas.
More consistent therapy: Bad weather and feeling sick doesn't have to get in the way.
More intensive therapy: Without the commute, sessions can be scheduled more regularly.
Better access to the care you need: The specialist you are looking for might not be convenient to access in your area.
Comfort: No waiting in an office!
Why choose self pay?
Self pay can come with some advantages, including:
Increased choice: Insurance companies can limit your choice of provider along with restricting the number of sessions you are eligible to receive without basing the decision on what is in your best interest.
Increased privacy and confidentiality: Insurance companies often require information regarding your diagnosis.
Increased quality of care: Providers who do not accept insurance are often able to spend less time engaged in administrative tasks required by insurance companies and provide care to fewer people to meet their financial goals, allowing for more time to dedicate to their patients.
While these reasons may influence your decision in choosing the best provider to meet your needs, they should not prevent you from seeking mental health services. Patients of Psychological Services of Central Florida with insurance are strongly encouraged to contact their insurance provider and ask about reimbursement for out of network providers. You may be eligible to submit an invoice for the service provided and receive reimbursement at a set amount determined by your insurance. Psychological Services of Central Florida is happy to provide an invoice of services received.
Fees range from $70-$200 based on services provided, for example groups, individual sessions, couple's therapy. There may be additional charges for initial diagnostic evaluations. All charges will be determined prior to start of treatment.
