We are a network of independent psychotherapists who are concerned about the effects of insurance company policies on the delivery of mental health services.  We want to offer consumers information about our concerns—information that is often not disclosed by insurance companies.  We also want to explain our alternative to their system, and why we believe it better serves consumer interests.

We strongly believe that consumers have a right to all the information about their health care.  Informed consumers can make intelligent choices about the best therapist, the most appropriate therapy goals, and the type and duration of treatment.  We want consumers to know that affordable psychotherapy is available without using insurance.

We believe that clients should have the right to choose their own therapist, have confidential therapy, and make decisions about their own therapy.  We are deeply concerned about how insurance companies can threaten all of these rights.
