Insurance
Figuring out insurance can be confusing, and I want to make getting started as easy as possible. I’m in-network with Aetna and also offer superbills and private pay, so you have options for making therapy affordable.
Therapy with Aetna in Houston and Across Texas
I’m currently in-network with Aetna. If you have an Aetna plan, your insurance may cover some or all of the cost of your sessions with me, whether we meet in person at my Houston office or online anywhere in Texas. Every plan is different, so I’m happy to help you understand your specific benefits before your first appointment.
What to Ask Your Insurance Before Starting Therapy
When you call the number on the back of your card, these questions will tell you what to expect:
Do I have outpatient mental health benefits?
What is my copay or coinsurance per session?
Do I have a deductible, and how much of it have I met?
Is there a limit on the number of sessions per year?
Is telehealth covered the same way as in-person sessions?
Do I need a referral or pre-authorization?
If you’d rather not make that call, contact me and I’ll gladly help you verify your benefits.
What You Can Expect
Copays, deductibles, and session limits vary from person to person. Before we begin, I’ll walk you through what your plan covers so there are no surprises. You’ll know what each session costs and how billing works.

Not Using Aetna? You Still Have Options
Out-of-network reimbursement with a superbill. If you have a different insurance plan, I can give you a superbill, a detailed receipt you submit to your insurance company. Many plans with out-of-network benefits reimburse a portion of the cost. Call your insurer and ask, “What are my out-of-network mental health benefits?”
Private pay. If you prefer not to use insurance, or your plan doesn’t cover therapy, I offer private-pay sessions. Some people choose this for privacy, flexibility, or because it lets us work together without insurance requirements such as a diagnosis or session limits. [Add your session rate here.]
Specialized Therapy Covered by Your Plan
I help adults and couples with trauma therapy, anxiety therapy, depression therapy, and relationship counseling using approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting. (Link each of these to its page.)
