You as a parent get to decide the therapist that is best suited for your child's needs rather than an insurance company telling you who to see

Flexible scheduling and availability (especially those after school-hours for older children)

More services are allowed without restrictions (i.e., teletherapy)

No referral from a doctor is needed which means therapy can start right away

No cap on the number of sessions or the duration of each session length

You can stay with your child's therapist even if your insurance plan coverage changes
