In-Network Therapists for Optum and UnitedHealthcare Members


Clinically reviewed by Karan Singh, Ph.D.

Psychological Healing is in-network with Optum and UnitedHealthcare (UHC). Our 40 clinicians are licensed across 20 states, and we see Optum and UnitedHealthcare members by secure video in 17 of them, with in-person offices throughout the US.

UnitedHealthcare or Optum: which is on your card?

For many UnitedHealthcare plans, mental health benefits are managed by Optum Behavioral Health. That means your therapy claims may go to Optum even though your card says UnitedHealthcare. The back of your card usually lists a “Behavioral Health” or “Mental Health” phone number. Either way, send us your member ID number and we’ll confirm your coverage.

What you’ll pay

Your cost depends on your plan’s deductible and coinsurance. We verify your benefits and tell you what to expect before your first session. Employer-sponsored Employee Assistance Program (EAP) sessions through Optum work differently. Ask us and we’ll check whether yours applies.

States we cover

We see Optum and UnitedHealthcare members by video in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. In person: offices throughout the US.

What we treat

We treat anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), among other concerns. For OCD, our clinicians use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Most care is individual therapy for adults, and couples and family therapy are available with select clinicians.

UnitedHealthcare members

We see members of UnitedHealthcare and Optum employer-sponsored and individual commercial plans. We do not accept Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans.

Other insurance

We’re also in-network with Aetna, and we see Oscar members through the Optum/UHC network. Depending on the clinician and state, some of our clinicians also accept Anthem and Carelon.

Is video therapy covered the same as in-person? Often yes, but plans vary. We’ll verify.
