7 Reasons Parent Wellness Group Doesn’t Take Insurance

Parent Wellness Group is passionate about providing quality and accessible care to our clients. We understand that the cost of quality mental health care can be prohibitive, but there are a lot of perks and reasons why this is the approach we take as a practice.

It can be really confusing to navigate out-of-network therapy as well as why certain practices accept insurance or not. We have some further solutions for how to make Parent Wellness Group work for you in this post about out-of-network therapy. 

Here are 7 reasons why Parent Wellness Group doesn’t accept insurance: 

1. Quality and Continuity of Care. When insurance companies dictate treatment length, clients often find themselves having to restart therapy with new providers once their allotted sessions run out. This disrupts the therapeutic relationship and can actually slow progress. By removing insurance constraints, we can work with clients for as long as they need support, whether that's a few sessions or ongoing care throughout different parenting phases.

2. Specialized Expertise Commands Specialized Investment. Our therapists aren't just experienced perinatal clinicians—they're parents who understand the unique challenges of modern parenting firsthand. This lived experience, combined with specialized training, creates exceptional value. Just as you wouldn't expect to pay insurance rates for a pediatric specialist or elite tutor, therapeutic expertise that's this targeted requires investment that reflects its worth.

3. Privacy and Confidentiality. Insurance companies require detailed diagnoses and treatment notes that become part of permanent medical records. Many parents prefer the enhanced privacy that comes with private pay, knowing their family's personal matters stay strictly between them and their therapist.

4. Flexibility in Treatment Approach. Without insurance limitations, we can customize our approach to each family's unique situation. Some parents benefit from intensive short-term work, others from monthly check-ins over years. Some need individual therapy, others couple's work, and some family sessions. Insurance rarely covers this kind of flexible, responsive care.

5. Investment in You and Your Family’s Future. Parents regularly invest thousands in their children's education, sports, and activities because they recognize the long-term value. Mental health and family wellness create benefits that compound over years—stronger relationships, better communication skills, increased resilience, and modeling healthy coping for the next generation. We stand for raising parents and kids that believe investing in good quality personalized care is one of the most important investments they can make.

6. Transparency in Costs With private pay, there are no surprise bills, copays, or insurance company denials after treatment has begun. You know exactly what you're paying upfront, and every dollar goes directly toward your care rather than insurance company profits and administrative overhead. While Parent Wellness Group is not formally a non-profit, all proceeds go to our clinicians, administrative team and education efforts to provide workshops and free resources to our community.

7. A New Village for Mental Health While we stand by our pricing and believe it is fair in the current clinical environment, we also acknowledge that it may not be accessible for some clients. This is why we are passionate about offering sliding scale and fully subsidized care for those who need it. Because we believe that NO client and parent should have to sacrifice quality or timeliness of care. When you invest in your own support at Parent Wellness Group, you also are a part of our village of support, meaning your fees help our subsidized/sliding scale program. THIS is the new village of mental health.
