Why Private-Pay Child Psychiatry is the Best Choice for Families in Florida’s Wealthiest Cities
Prioritizing Mental Health Without Insurance Restrictions
At Shield Psychiatry, we specialize in privately funded mental health services, providing faster access, more personalized care, and complete privacy. Our self-pay model eliminates insurance restrictions, allowing us to offer comprehensive ADHD testing, therapy, and psychiatric evaluations for children, teens, and young adults.
🔹 ADHD Evaluations with QB Testing:
Many Florida parents worry about the overdiagnosis or misdiagnosis of ADHD. Our practice offers evidence-based ADHD testing, including QB Testing, to ensure a data-driven diagnosis, enabling children to receive the right interventions.
🔹 Healthcare Transition Services for Young Adults:
Navigating mental health changes is crucial for teens preparing for college or a professional career. Our transition care services help high-achieving students maintain emotional wellness, stress management, and executive functioning skills as they transition to independence.
🔹 Comprehensive Anxiety & Depression Care:
In Florida's most competitive school districts, the pressure to excel academically, athletically, and socially is higher than ever. We specialize in customized mental health solutions for gifted students, athletes, and future leaders.
Why Choose Private Pay for Psychiatry and Therapy?
1. No Insurance Limitations – Get the Best Care for Your Needs
Insurance plans often restrict the number of sessions, limit covered treatments, or deny necessary care. With private pay, you receive the best treatment options without interference, including:
✅ Comprehensive ADHD evaluations with Qb Testing
✅ Customized treatment plans tailored to your needs
✅ Longer therapy sessions (45-60 minutes instead of brief 15-minute visits)
2. Faster Appointments & No Long Waitlists
Insurance-based providers often have long waitlists, delaying essential care for months. With private pay, you can:
🚀 Book same-week or next-week appointments
🚀 Receive consistent, uninterrupted treatment
🚀 Have direct access to your provider without barriers
3. Privacy & Confidentiality – No Insurance Records
Mental health diagnoses and treatments recorded through insurance can affect life insurance, employment, and future medical coverage. Private pay ensures:
🔒 Complete privacy – no third-party access to your records
🔒 No insurance reporting or interference
🔒 Full control over your mental health information
4. More Time with Your Provider
Many insurance plans limit sessions to 15-30 minutes, making it difficult to receive comprehensive care. Private pay services allow for:
⏳ Longer evaluations and therapy sessions
⏳ In-depth psychiatric assessments for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and more
⏳ A patient-centered approach that prioritizes quality over quantity
5. Flexible Payment Options
At Shield Psychiatry, we understand that mental health care is an investment in your well-being. We offer:
💳 Flat-rate pricing for evaluations and therapy
💳 Payment plans and financing options
💳 Superbills for out-of-network reimbursement (so you can submit claims to insurance if desired)
Suppose you’re a parent in Miami, Boca Raton, Naples, Tampa, or Orlando and want to provide your child with elite psychiatric care without insurance restrictions. In that case, Shield Psychiatry is here for you.
