Aetna Therapist in Ohio

Read on for what we treat in Ohio, how we match you with a clinician, and how we check your Aetna benefits.

Telehealth throughout Ohio

Aetna members can join from Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, Youngstown, Canton, Athens, or Zanesville, on Eastern time. You need to be in Ohio during each session. Telehealth helps people in small towns and those who’d otherwise face long drives or winter roads. Read about teletherapy. 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.

What we treat in Ohio

Ohio Aetna members see us for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and substance use, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when it fits.

Our Ohio clinician

Psychological Healing has 40 clinicians, offering in-person sessions in 20 states and video sessions in 44 states. Our Ohio clinician who is active with Aetna 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 Ohio members get the full benefit of each session.

Verifying coverage: what we check for you

Before we schedule anything, our admin team verifies your Aetna benefits. We look at three things: whether outpatient mental health care is covered, whether video sessions are treated the same way as in-person visits on your plan, and whether you need a referral. Then we tell you what to expect. If you’d like to look first yourself, sign in to your Aetna member account or call the behavioral health line printed on your card. You can also read how teletherapy works. We do not accept Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans.

Next steps

When you’re ready, use our appointment request form. Mention that you’re located in Ohio and which plan you have. Our admin team handles the benefits check and scheduling, and we’ll answer any questions about how teletherapy works before your first session.
