Lifeway Counseling & Consulting is primarily a private-pay practice, which means we don’t bill insurance or work directly with insurance companies. We intentionally chose this model because it allows therapy to remain personalized, flexible, and focused on your unique needs rather than the requirements of an insurance company.
Private-pay therapy offers greater privacy and flexibility, as treatment is guided by your goals instead of insurance limitations, authorization requirements, or session restrictions. While a mental health diagnosis is often required for insurance reimbursement, our work together is centered on your overall well-being, not just meeting insurance criteria.
I currently reserve a limited number of insurance appointments for established clients through a participating third-party platform. If an insurance opening becomes available, I'd be happy to let you know.
If you have a PPO plan with out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill upon request. A superbill is an itemized receipt that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Many insurance plans offer out-of-network reimbursement for therapy, sometimes up to 60-80% of the session costs after your deductible is met.
If applicable, we can provide a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to verify your mental health benefits.
You may wish to ask:
- Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage?
- Am I able to use these benefits for telehealth therapy?
- What is my out-of-network deductible?
- How much of my deductible has been met this year?
- Is there a limit on the number of sessions my plan will cover per year?
You may be eligible for partial reimbursement through your insurance plan. We can provide a superbill and guide you through the process. Check your benefits using the calculator below.

Like most specialty providers, we do not participate in insurance plans directly. Unlike most specialty providers, we simplify the process by checking your out-of-network benefits during your consultation call and offering to handle insurance reimbursement on your behalf.
In our experience, reimbursement rates are generally between 60-80% of the session costs after your deductible is met.
We also give you the option of only paying your out-of-network copay instead of paying the full fee upfront for a 5% fee, which goes directly to our reimbursement processing servicer. Here are some additional questions to ask your insurance provider:

Great! If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for your therapy sessions.
During your consultation, we'll verify your benefits and help you understand your estimated out-of-pocket costs. To simplify the process, we partner with Thrizer, a secure reimbursement platform that can help process your out-of-network claims. Depending on your insurance plan and eligibility, you may only pay your estimated patient responsibility at the time of your session rather than paying the full session fee upfront and waiting for reimbursement. (A small processing fee may apply through Thrizer.)
If you prefer not to use Thrizer, we're also happy to provide a monthly superbill that you can submit directly to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Our approach is solutions-focused and insight-oriented, meaning you won’t have to be in therapy forever. Many of our clients find that they’ve met their goals in 3-6 months and no longer need therapy. However, we also have clients who choose to remain in therapy for much longer; they have seen improvements and still really enjoy having ongoing support and a place to process their thoughts and feelings each week.

These opportunities are available across all therapy services and offered as space allows.
