Insurance
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services. Please note that you must meet “medical necessity” criteria, meaning you truly have a mental health diagnosis, for insurance to pay for services. If you have not already received such a diagnosis the presence of one can be determined during our initial sessions.
I recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
-
Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits? Which insurance company provides those benefits? (note, sometimes it’s different than your health insurance)
-
If seeking couples' or family work, does my mental health plan cover family therapy?
-
Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
-
What is my co-pay or co-insurance amount per session?
I accept the following insurances:
-
Aetna
-
Anthem/BCBS
-
Cigna
-
Carelon
-
Optum/United Healthcare
I am also able to provide you with the necessary forms if you would like to use your Out-of-Network benefits with any insurances I do not accept to help defray the cost.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
EAPs are a different product than insurance and often authorize a few free sessions. If unsure if you have this benefit, check with your boss or human resources department.
I accept the following EAPs:
-
Aetna Resources for Living
-
Anthem
-
Cigna
-
Cigna Confide Enhanced
-
Health Advocate
-
Mutual of Omaha
-
Optum Emotional Wellbeing Solutions Premium
-
Optum Live & Work Well

BHEC investigates and prosecutes professional misconduct committed by marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, psychologists, psychological associates, social workers, and licensed specialists in school psychology. Although not every complaint against or dispute with a licensee involves professional misconduct, the Executive Council will provide you with information about how to file a complaint.
