Founded in Faith

Meet Curt Thompson, MD

Benefits of Self Pay Services

Your Care, Your Way

At New Story Behavioral Health, self-pay offers a more personalized treatment experience. With self-pay, you gain access to our experts who are dedicated to your specific needs without the constraints of insurance policies.

Unlike insurance-driven care, self-pay eliminates the administrative burdens that often take time away from focusing on you, which gives our clinicians the freedom to provide high-quality, individualized support. At New Story, self-pay lets you take control of your mental health with a treatment plan designed entirely around your story and goals.
