Do We Accept Aetna and UnitedHealthcare Insurance? Here's What You Need to Know

Finding the right therapist is a big step toward healing, growth, and feeling more like yourself again — but navigating insurance can make the process feel more stressful than it needs to be. At Nourished Wellness Group, we aim to make therapy feel more accessible and less overwhelming — including when it comes to understanding your insurance options.

So, here’s the answer: Yes, we are now in-network with both Aetna and UnitedHealthcare.
That means if you are a member of either insurance plan, you may be eligible to work with one of our participating licensed therapists with lower out-of-pocket costs.

What This Means for You

If you’re a client with Aetna or UnitedHealthcare:

  • ✅ Your sessions may be fully or partially covered

  • ✅ You’ll pay less per session (often just a copay)

  • ✅ Our team will verify your benefits and help guide you through next steps

Whether you’re looking for anxiety therapy, depression treatment, relationship counseling, or a more holistic approach to healing, we can help match you with a therapist who fits your needs — and now with more accessible options through insurance.

What Types of Therapy Are Covered?

Insurance through Aetna and UnitedHealthcare typically covers services such as:

  • Individual therapy

  • Couples therapy

  • Family therapy

  • EMDR therapy

  • Talk therapy

  • Somatic therapy (when coded appropriately)

At Nourished Wellness Group, our clinicians specialize in a range of evidence-based and integrative therapies that support your mind, body, and nervous system — and many of these services can now be accessed through your insurance plan.

How to Get Started

  1. Contact us through our website and let us know you're interested in using Aetna or UnitedHealthcare.

  2. Our intake coordinator will verify your benefits and match you with an available therapist.

  3. We’ll walk you through any copays or out-of-pocket fees before you begin — so there are no surprises.

Common Questions

Do all therapists at Nourished Wellness Group take Aetna and UnitedHealthcare?
Not all — but several of our licensed clinicians are now paneled with these insurance companies. When you reach out, we’ll help you find a therapist within your insurance network.

Can I use my out-of-network benefits if my therapist isn’t in-network?
Yes! If the therapist you’d like to work with isn’t in-network, we can provide you with a superbill so you can submit claims directly to your insurance provider using your out-of-network benefits.

What’s the difference between in-network and out-of-network therapy?
In-network therapy usually means lower out-of-pocket costs and less paperwork for you. Out-of-network therapy gives you more flexibility in choosing a provider, though you'll likely pay more upfront.

Therapy Shouldn’t Be a Luxury

We believe therapy should be accessible, empowering, and tailored to you.
Whether you're managing anxiety, feeling stuck in your relationships, or just know it’s time to work on your mental health, we’re here — and now we’re in-network.
