I don't know how to stop hurting. I don't know how to help him. I don't know how to get anything to change. Whether it is a problem you are experiencing with yourself, your child or another loved one many people have these thoughts. When the thoughts become overwhelming and impact your quality of life, it is time to change. Anais Nin wrote, "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

Life can be complicated and full of traumatic events that overwhelm us. As a result, problematic patterns that negatively affect almost every area of life may begin. These overwhelming events may also negatively shift beliefs about self, others, and the world at large. Once this occurs, it can be difficult to repair without professional help. Additionally, trauma can be unique to the individual. It's not always a confrontation with mortality but rather, a deep hurt or betrayal by someone we should have been able to trust.

You're sitting, talking with a group of friends in a place you have been a hundred times before. Suddenly, everything starts getting far away, feeling unfamiliar, voices muffling. Your heart starts racing. You clench your hands together to keep them from shaking and realize they are clammy. You're looking for the nearest exit; looking at the faces around you to see if anyone notices that you are off. The internal terror and turmoil are rising and you know it's only a matter of time before you completely lose your mind.

Life, like the ocean, can be beautiful one moment, and brutal and unforgiving the next. Whether we are besieged by feelings we don’t understand, held captive by doubts we just can’t seem to overcome, or enduring a life transition that throws us for a loop, there are few things as destabilizing. It is natural in those circumstances to experience stress, depression, despair, anxiety, and anger. We may wonder if those feelings are our new normal. My response to that question is no. We can find peace and meaning.

Therapy is often mistaken as the last resort for people with serious struggles, but everyone experiences bouts of confusion, anxiety, sadness, fear, and grief. Many of us have experienced neglect, abuse, or trauma, and talking to a therapist can help create clarity about what to do next. Therapy may be the answer to making the life improvements that you need. If you feel depressed, alone, or lost, a therapist can often help guide you to find the strength and perseverance to improve your state of mind. My passions are in social justice. I believe everyone needs to be heard and understood in order for communities to thrive.

Medicaid Therapists

Does insurance cover therapy, prescriptions and other behavioral health services?

In general, yes. Laws in the U.S. require insurers to cover essential behavioral health care at the same level as other health care services. Most health plans require a medical diagnosis and treatments that are evidence based and medically essential. This means that life coaching and alternative therapies are not covered, nor is therapy without a diagnosis. Call the number on the back or your insurance card or visit your insurance company's website to review your Summary of Benefits. If you have insurance through your employer, your Human Resources department may also be able to answer questions.

How much does therapy cost with insurance?

The cost of therapy depends on your region, how much training and experience your therapist has, and the type of treatment. The rate for talk therapy generally falls between $100 and $250. For a client seeing an in-network provider, the cost of therapy is often similar to the cost of other health care services. Clients pay co-pays and may need to satisfy a plan’s deductible before benefits kick in.

What is the difference between In-Network and Out-of-Network insurance coverage?

An in-network provider has contracted with an insurer to get paid directly for services, and to accept the insurer’s rate of compensation. Clients are responsible for deductibles and copays. If a therapist is out of network, that means that the client pays the therapist directly for services at the therapist’s regular fee. Out-of-Network providers often give clients a receipt so that they can file for partial reimbursement with their insurance company.

Is it difficult to find an In-Network therapist?

It is not unusual for therapists to limit the number of insurance patients in their practice, so it’s important to check in-network availability when you schedule your first appointment. In regions and times where therapy is in high demand it may take longer to get scheduled with an in-network therapist.

What is the difference between HMO and PPO insurance plans?

HMO health plans only cover in-network services, there is no reimbursement for out-of-network providers. PPO plans often cover both in- and out-of-network services, though the client may pay more for out-of-network services.

What is a Superbill?

A superbill is a receipt for therapy services. It provides all the information required by insurance companies to reimburse you for out-of-network services, including the diagnostic codes for your care, the amount paid, and the dates and duration of care.

Does insurance cover Online therapy?

Many therapists who shifted their practice to online therapy during the pandemic have kept that arrangement. And most insurers continue to cover telehealth services, with a few exceptions. Preventive care (such as an annual depression screening) is often required to be in-person to be covered, and some states require prescribers of controlled substances to see those patients in person.

Does insurance cover Group therapy?

Many insurance plans provide coverage for group therapy provided there is a medical diagnosis for group members, but there are some noteworthy exceptions. For example, Medicare does not always cover group therapy. Group therapy tends to cost less than individual therapy.

Does insurance cover Couples therapy?

Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of couples therapy because there is no medical diagnosis or medically necessary treatment. However, a few plans will offer a limited benefit, so it is still worth checking with your insurance company. Sometimes therapy is covered for a couple when one person has a diagnosis and another family member joins them for joint therapy, but it is considered therapy for the medical condition that includes a family member as a listener or helper, not couples counseling. Without insurance, most clients pay between $100-300 per 60-90 min session for couples therapy. Often clients can find classes or workshops that make it more affordable to work on their relationship. And some employers offer benefit plans that help defray the cost of couples therapy.
