You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of medical and mental health care services including counseling and therapy (psychotherapy) services.
Health Insurance
Many of our providers accept commercial and employer-based insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna/Evernorth, and United Healthcare. Please see the Therapists page for details on accepted insurance plans by provider.
Please note: We are not contracted with Medicare or Medicaid/AHCCCS plans.
Insurance Coverage & Diagnosis Requirements
Insurance companies will only cover therapy that is deemed medically necessary. This means your therapist must provide a formal diagnosis of a mental health condition—such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or a similar issue—to justify treatment.
If you do not meet the criteria for a qualifying diagnosis, or if you are seeking therapy solely for personal growth (such as improving self-awareness or enhancing well-being) and prefer not to have a mental health diagnosis added to your medical record with your insurance, your insurance will not reimburse for services. In this case, you will be responsible for covering the full cost of the sessions. To help make therapy more affordable, we offer sliding scale rates for self-pay clients.
Out-of-Network Benefits & Superbills
If we are not in-network with your insurance, you may still be able to use your out-of-network benefits. We can provide you with a superbill—an itemized receipt with the necessary information to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. It’s important to check with your insurance provider ahead of time to understand your out-of-network coverage and reimbursement process.
Benefits of Self-Pay
Opting for self-pay offers several benefits:
- Confidentiality: No diagnosis is required, and no information is shared with insurance companies, ensuring your therapy remains private.
- Flexibility: You have more control over the frequency and duration of sessions, without needing authorization from your insurer.
- Simplified Process: No need to deal with insurance paperwork or waiting for reimbursements—just straightforward payments for the services provided.
