I'm directly in-network with Optum in Utah. Sessions are billed at your standard Optum behavioral health copay, typically $5 to $50.
Optum manages behavioral health benefits for many employer plans, including most UnitedHealthcare plans. If your insurance card mentions Optum for mental health services, you're covered in-network with me. My office bills Optum directly. You pay your standard copay and nothing else.
Most of the people I work with are not in crisis. They're a lot more ordinary than that. They're carrying work stress that's leaked into everything else. They're drinking a little more than they used to. They're arguing about the same thing with their spouse for the third year running. They're not sleeping well. They've got a kid they don't know how to help.
I've spent years in mental health settings ranging from outpatient private practice to adolescent residential treatment. I know what real distress looks like. I also know what "life is grinding me down and I don't know why" looks like. Both are worth taking seriously. More about me →
