Why Choose Private Pay Therapy

Private pay therapy means you pay directly for your sessions instead of using insurance.

This approach allows for greater flexibility, and personalized care — without the restrictions that often come with insurance-based services.

When you choose private pay at Risoasis, you gain:

  • Control over your healing journey

  • Customized sessions that match your goals, pace, and comfort level.

  • Freedom of choice — select your therapist and approach without  limitations.

  • Holistic, long-term support focused on lasting transformation, not just symptom management.
