Do you accept insurance?

Cattleya Counseling accepts:

Massachusetts: Most Optum and Point 32 commercial insurance plans (this includes Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, United, Oscar, Oxford), Aetna, and Blue Cross of MA

New Hampshire: Aetna, Blue Cross Anthem, Optum, and Point 32 in New Hampshire.

Unfortunately at this time it does not include Medicaid or public insurance plans.

If your plan has out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your provider for potential partial or full reimbursement. I also accept HSA and FSA cards. 

What is the out-of-pocket cost without insurance?

For individual therapy, the 60-minute intake session is $170 and following 55-minute sessions are $150.

For group therapy, 60-minute sessions are offered on a sliding scale from $15-$55. More information is available under “Services” page.

Do you offer sliding scale or reduced fees?

Limited sliding scale spots are available for individual therapy at $100 and $125 per session for those who cannot afford the full standard rate.

What populations do you work with?

I work with adults. In my clinical experience I have supported individuals ranging from 18 to 99 years old. A majority of my experience however is with those who are 18 to 50 years old. I see individuals of all identities and have a lot of experience working with marginalized persons such as those who are BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, chronically ill, and disabled. I also am passionate about working with adoptees and other members of the adoption constellation such as adoptive parents.

What is your therapy approach?

I practice from an eclectic approach that is individualized for each person’s unique needs. The primary approaches I use are compassion-focused, somatic, and liberation-oriented. I am Internal Family Systems informed and receive supervision/consultation from an IFS trained clinician. I also draw from mindfulness-based and attachment-based approaches.

Do you offer an initial consultation?

Yes, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation. This call can help us explore if it might be a good fit to move forward. You can e-mail me at carmen@cattleyacounseling.org.
