Optum and UnitedHealthcare Therapist in Texas

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

Secure video from the Panhandle to the Gulf Coast

Members meet from Plano, Frisco, Arlington, Round Rock, San Marcos, Katy, The Woodlands, Beaumont, Laredo, McAllen, Brownsville, Abilene, Waco, and Wichita Falls. Sessions are scheduled in Central or Mountain time, depending on where you live. You’ll need to be in Texas during each session. Video therapy also spares you summer heat and freeway traffic. 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 trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance use, depression, anxiety, PTSD nightmares, and the lingering effects of poverty, community violence, or family hardship.

Our Texas clinician

Psychological Healing has 40 clinicians, offering in-person sessions in 20 states and video sessions in 44 states. Our Texas 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 Texas members get the full benefit of each session.

What to send us for a benefits check

Share your full name, date of birth, and the member identification (ID) number from your UnitedHealthcare or Optum card. If you’re covered through a spouse’s or parent’s plan, include the subscriber’s name. We’ll confirm that we’re in-network, that video sessions from Texas are covered, and whether anything else is needed before your first appointment. We do not accept Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans.

How to book

Booking takes a few minutes. Fill out our short appointment request form and tell us you’re in Texas, which insurance you have, and what you’d like help with. Our admin team will verify your benefits, match you with a clinician whose license and schedule fit, and send you a secure link for your first video session.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get help for substance use and trauma at the same time?

Yes. Our Texas clinician’s training focused on substance use, trauma, and serious mental illness, and she treats them together.

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.

Are there other Texas clinicians on Optum or UHC?

Right now one Texas clinician is active with Optum and UHC. Our admin team can tell you about availability when you contact us.

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.
