Frequently Asked Questions
-
Many of our clients choose private pay because it allows for greater flexibility, privacy, and depth in their work.
Insurance often requires a mental health diagnosis and can limit the type, frequency, or focus of therapy. Insurance can also request all treatment notes and documentation to verify benefits. Private pay allows us to tailor treatment to your goals—especially when the work is centered around relationships, patterns, and personal growth rather than a specific diagnosis.
-
To use your out-of-network benefits, let your therapist know you're interested. Our clinic manager will then provide a superbill once a month — an itemized receipt listing your appointments, costs, and diagnosis code — which you submit to your insurance company. Depending on your plan, they reimburse you directly. Reimbursement varies widely by plan; some plans reimburse up to 70% of the session cost after your out-of-network deductible is met. Not sure whether you have out-of-network benefits? Mentaya can check your plan and help you navigate the process.

Therapy is a meaningful investment, and we offer several ways to make it more financially manageable.

We offer reduced-fee options with our advanced doctoral trainees, who are highly trained and supported through ongoing supervision and consultation. Some clients also choose to meet every other week after an initial period of weekly sessions.
At the same time, many of our clients choose to invest in working with a highly trained therapist because of the depth and effectiveness of the work. When therapy addresses underlying patterns—not just surface-level concerns—it often leads to more meaningful and lasting change over time.
-
We prioritize more long-term therapy that not only helps put out the fire, but prevents it from returning in the future.
We typically see clients regularly for around 6 months and then start to meet less frequently and more as needed.
-
Most insurance plans don't cover couples therapy, because it isn't billed as treatment for an individual's diagnosis.
You can still submit a super bill because sometimes out-of-network benefits will cover couples therapy.
