Optum and UnitedHealthcare Therapist in New Hampshire

Read on for what we treat in New Hampshire, how we match you with a clinician, and how we check your Optum or UnitedHealthcare benefits.

Secure video statewide

Members meet from Salem, Derry, Rochester, Exeter, Claremont, Conway, Littleton, and everywhere in between, on Eastern time. You must be in New Hampshire for each session. Video saves the drive and makes it easier to keep going through snowy months. See how teletherapy works. If you’d prefer to meet in person, we also have offices throughout the US; ask our admin team whether in-person visits are an option with your clinician.

Concerns we help with

Common reasons for reaching out include anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, depression, and difficult relationship or decision-making patterns.

Our New Hampshire clinician

Psychological Healing has 40 clinicians, offering in-person sessions in 20 states and video sessions in 44 states. Our New Hampshire clinician who is active with Optum and UnitedHealthcare sees members by secure video across the state. When you reach out, our admin team matches you with a clinician whose license, focus, and schedule fit what you need. You can read about everyone on our team.

Getting the most out of video sessions

Pick a private spot where you won’t be overheard, use headphones if others are home, and log in a few minutes early to check your camera and sound. Keep a notebook nearby for skills or ideas you want to remember. If your connection drops, your clinician will try to reconnect. These small steps help New Hampshire members get the full benefit of each session.

Before your first session: checking coverage

You can look up your benefits in your UnitedHealthcare or Optum member account, but you don’t have to. We do the verification for you. We’ll confirm that outpatient mental health care is covered, that telehealth from New Hampshire is included, and whether a referral is required. Because we’re in-network, we bill Optum or UHC directly. What you owe depends on your plan and your deductible, and we’ll explain that before you start. We do not accept Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans.

Start with a short message

There’s no long intake form to begin. A few lines through our appointment request form is enough: that you’re in New Hampshire, which plan you have, and what’s going on. We’ll take it from there, from the coverage check to your first video session. You can learn more about our practice while you wait.

Frequently asked questions

What is values-based decision-making in therapy?

It means using what matters most to you as a guide when you’re stuck, rather than acting only on fear or habit.

My card says UnitedHealthcare. Do I contact Optum or UHC?

You don’t need to contact either first. Send us your member identification (ID) number and we’ll confirm which part of your plan manages mental health benefits.

Does our New Hampshire clinician use virtual reality in sessions?

Sometimes, when it’s helpful for a client’s goals. It’s optional and discussed with you first.

What happens if I change jobs and get a new UHC plan?

Let us know before your next session. We’ll verify the new plan so your care continues without surprises.
