If you’ve been putting off therapy because of cost or confusion around insurance, here’s some good news: I’m now in-network with Aetna and accepting new clients across California via telehealth.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, or life transitions, therapy can be more accessible and affordable when it’s covered by your insurance. If you’re an Aetna member, this guide will walk you through what to expect — and how to get started.
What Does It Mean to Be “In-Network” with Aetna?
Being in-network means I’ve gone through Aetna’s credentialing process and agreed to their rates for covered services. This typically means lower out-of-pocket costs for you — often just a copay or coinsurance, depending on your plan.
Instead of paying full fee, you can use your Aetna insurance benefits directly. I handle the billing on my end so you don’t have to worry about claim forms or chasing reimbursement.
How to Find Out If Therapy Is Covered Aetna
You can call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
- Do I have mental health coverage?
- What’s my copay or coinsurance for a 60-minute therapy session?
- Is preauthorization required?
- Do I have a deductible to meet first?
You can also log in to Aetna’s member website here.
I’m happy to help you walk through this if it feels confusing.
What Kinds of Therapy Do I Offer?
I work with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of issues including:
- Generalized anxiety and panic
- Depression and burnout
- Relationship or family stress
- Life transitions
- Trauma recovery
All sessions are offered remotely, so you can meet from the comfort of your own home.
How to Get Started
If you’re an Aetna member ready to begin therapy:
- Schedule a free 10-minute consultation to make sure we’re a good fit
- I’ll verify your insurance benefits for you
- We’ll set up your first session
That’s it. No back-and-forth with insurance or complicated forms.
