Insurance
Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.
I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
- Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
- Is the Relationship Counseling Center of California: Tax ID 86-2102275
- Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
- Do I have a co-pay/coinsurance? If so how much is it?
- Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
Out Of Network
I am excited to announce that I have just partnered with Mentaya to help clients use their out-of-network benefits for potential reimbursement on therapy!**What are out-of-network benefits?** Here's a breakdown:
✨ If your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, it means they will cover a portion of the cost when you see a therapist who doesn't have a direct contract with your insurance company.
✨ Unlike in-network providers, who bill your insurance company directly, with out-of-network therapists, you typically pay for the session upfront and then submit a claim to your insurance for reimbursement.
✨ Insurance companies often reimburse a percentage of the therapist's fee, usually after you meet an out-of-network deductible. For example, after you meet a $1,000 deductible, your insurance may reimburse 50-80% of the session cost.
✨ Out-of-network benefits give you the flexibility to choose a therapist based on your needs and preferences, not just those in-network.
Mentaya is perfect if you:
- Have out-of-network benefits
- Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance
- Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement
- Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!
Here's how it works:
- Sign up for Mentaya: https://mentaya.co/inviteclient/aZ3MTq0kwZAA4LZDtU28
- Our practice will enter your sessions into the platform.
- Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.
- You get reimbursed by insurance!
Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.
It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.

We are continuously adding more plans. Please contact us to see if we are accepting your plan.
