Why We Don’t Accept Insurance (And Why It’s Actually Better for You!) 

At Individualized Solutions LLC, we know that mental health is a personal journey—and so is how you pay for therapy. You may have noticed that we don’t accept insurance and only offer private pay/cash pay options. Let’s talk about why this choice benefits you and your therapy experience!


Here’s the thing about insurance: 


They call the shots. Insurance companies decide what’s covered, how many sessions you get, and sometimes even the kind of therapy you “should” receive. It’s frustrating! And it means the focus is less on YOU and more on what’s pre-approved.


Privacy is priceless. When using insurance, your mental health diagnosis and treatment plans can be shared with your insurance company, and sometimes, your employer. With private pay, your information stays 100% confidential between us. Period.


No cookie-cutter treatment. Insurance requires specific labels or diagnoses to approve coverage, but at Individualized Solutions, we believe in providing therapy based on your individual needs—without having to fit your mental health into a neat little box.


Why private pay? With cash pay, YOU are in control. You choose the type of therapy, how often you want to meet, and what we focus on. No red tape, no middlemen—just personalized care that fits you.


Do you have out-of-network benefits? You can check your insurance policy or contact your insurance provider to confirm if you have out-of-network benefits. Check your policy for terms like "out-of-network coverage" or "reimbursement rates."


How to use your out-of-network benefits? How can you get reimbursed by your insurance for out-of-network services?

To use your out-of-network benefits, you'll pay for your sessions upfront and then submit a claim to your insurance company for reimbursement. We provide a Superbill, which includes all the necessary information for your claim. Make sure to inform us before your first session that you want a Superbill. 


What is a Superbill? A Superbill is a detailed receipt provided after each session. It includes all the information your insurance company needs to process your reimbursement claim. This helps you obtain reimbursement from your insurance provider. Please be aware your insurance provider may choose to cover all, some, or none of these services. Therefore, before your first session, we suggest you contact your insurance company to verify your out-of-network coverage of outpatient mental health services. We will provide a Superbill upon request. However, we require you inform us at the beginning of your first session.


Yes, we get it—therapy is an investment. And we know it can feel like a big commitment upfront. But your mental health is worth it! When you pay out-of-pocket, you're making an investment in yourself, free from the limitations of third-party approval.

Ready to prioritize YOU and take the next step in your mental health journey? I’m here to help.


Book an appointment today or give me a call at 573-418-1677. Let’s work together—on your terms!


P.S. We promise—no confusing claim forms or surprise letters from your insurance!

    Rita has been a lifesaver. I found her when I was ready to give up. I was very hesitant with pursuing a therapist to work with because I had heard a lot of bad stories from friends and people online. I decided to go forth anyways and I have not regretted that decision since. Rita really loves her clients. Through therapy, I have learned a lot about myself. I realized what it was like to have healthy forms of communication and healthy boundaries with people as I was never taught in my life. It was a game changer really. I am truly blessed to have met Rita and grateful for all that she has helped me with and help me accomplish.

    Rita is an excellent therapist. She is uniquely qualified and knows her stuff. She's especially great at reframing negative thoughts. She's always available and in a good mood. It would be difficult to find a better or more engaging therapist.

    Rita as a therapist has been extremely instrumental in my healing process. From trauma to depression and anxiety to building self-esteem and confidence, she has helped me work through massive roadblocks to uncover my most authentic self. I am now able to live my truth and make decisions in my best interest that I would have never made before we started working together. As a Black woman, I have been influenced from both home and society to put others before myself and my health. I now make the conscious decision daily to prioritize myself and my boundaries. I even decided to relocate to a new city, hours from my hometown; a decision I would not have trusted myself to make or carry out before therapy. Rita has been phenomenal and a wonderful introduction to therapy!

    I have been working with Rita for almost 2 months now and I couldn’t be happier with the progress we have made. Rita has made me extremely comfortable since our first session which is something I’ve struggled with in therapy in the past. Our conversations always feel genuine instead of transactional. She steers the conversation in a way that allows me to connect the dots for myself and make breakthroughs on my own. I’m so happy I found Rita and look forward to continuing our work together.

Recommended Reading for Personal Growth and Healing

By Rita Denome • 18 Jun, 2024
As a Licensed Therapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Registered Nurse, I often find that literature can be an invaluable tool for personal growth and healing. Over the years, I have come across several books that have profoundly impacted my understanding of mental health and have proven beneficial to my clients. I am excited to share a curated list of book recommendations that I believe can offer insight, comfort, and practical guidance. | All books are available in audio and print from your local libraries. 1. Scattered Minds by Gabor Mate, MD (includes workbook) Dr. Gabor Mate's "Scattered Minds" is a comprehensive exploration of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). His empathetic and insightful approach helps demystify ADD, offering both a personal narrative and scientific analysis. The accompanying workbook is an excellent resource for those looking to delve deeper into understanding and managing their symptoms. 2. It Didn't Start With You by Mark Wolynn Mark Wolynn's "It Didn't Start With You" delves into the fascinating field of inherited family trauma. This book provides valuable insights into how unresolved family traumas can affect our lives today. Wolynn offers practical tools for healing and breaking free from these patterns, making it a must-read for anyone struggling with generational issues. 3. Taming Your Outer Child by Susan Anderson Susan Anderson's "Taming Your Outer Child" addresses the self-sabotaging behaviors that often derail our progress. Anderson’s techniques are designed to help readers gain control over their "outer child," a concept she uses to describe the impulsive part of ourselves that acts out. Her compassionate guidance is invaluable for anyone looking to foster self-discipline and emotional resilience. 4. The Body Remembers by Babette Rothschild In "The Body Remembers," Babette Rothschild offers a deep dive into the connection between trauma and the body. This book is an essential read for understanding how traumatic experiences are stored in the body and how we can work through them. Rothschild’s clear and accessible writing makes complex concepts easy to grasp. 5. What Happened to You? by Bruce Perry, MD, Ph.D., and Oprah Winfrey Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey collaborate in "What Happened to You?" to provide a compassionate exploration of trauma, resilience, and healing. Their combined expertise and personal stories create a powerful narrative that helps readers understand the impact of their past experiences and how to heal from them. 6. Daring Greatly by Brené Brown, LCSW, Ph.D. Brené Brown’s "Daring Greatly" is a profound exploration of vulnerability and courage. Brown’s research and storytelling inspire readers to embrace vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness. Any book by Brené Brown is worth reading, and I highly recommend exploring her podcasts and TED Talks for additional inspiration. 7. The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer "The Untethered Soul" by Michael A. Singer is a transformative guide to inner peace and spiritual growth. Singer’s insights into the mind and consciousness help readers free themselves from limiting thoughts and emotions, fostering a deeper sense of inner freedom and happiness. 8. Mel Robbins' "Let Them" Podcast While not a book, Mel Robbins' "Let Them" podcast offers practical advice and motivational insights. Robbins’ straightforward approach and relatable stories make her podcast a great resource for anyone looking to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. 9. The Grieving Brain by Mary-Frances O'Connor Mary-Frances O'Connor’s "The Grieving Brain" combines neuroscience and personal narrative to explore the process of grief. This book provides a compassionate understanding of how our brains process loss and offers practical strategies for navigating the journey of grief. 10. The Shadow Work Journal: A Guide to Integrate and Transcend Your Shadows "The Shadow Work Journal" is an excellent tool for those beginning their journey into shadow work. It helps readers identify and understand their hidden selves. However, it's crucial to approach this journal with care, especially for individuals with complex PTSD. Reading "The Inner Work" afterward is essential to ensure a balanced and supportive experience. These books have been invaluable resources in my practice, and I hope they provide you with the same level of insight and support. Reading can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and healing, and I encourage you to explore these recommendations. If you have any questions or need further guidance, please feel free to reach out.
