Little Dove Psychology is in network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, and Optum (UnitedHealthcare), and with Oscar Health. If your family carries one of these plans, you pay your plan's copay or cost share rather than our self-pay rate.
Both therapy and psychological testing are billed to insurance. Comprehensive ADHD, autism, and dyslexia evaluations are covered under these three plans the same way therapy sessions are. Our evaluating neuropsychologist, Dr. Kiersten Sippio, PsyD, is credentialed with each of them, which is what makes evaluations billable rather than self-pay only.
Our Optum contract is UnitedHealthcare's behavioral health contract, so it covers most United-family plans, among them UnitedHealthcare, UMR, All Savers, Surest (formerly Bind), Golden Rule, and UnitedHealthcare StudentResources.
For every other plan we are fee-for-service. You pay a flat fee, we provide a superbill, and many PPO plans reimburse a meaningful portion out of network. HSA and FSA funds apply either way.
| Service | In network with our three plans | Self-pay rate |
|---|---|---|
| Therapy, licensed psychologist | Billed to insurance, you pay your copay | $225 per session |
| Therapy, licensed psychological associate | Billed to insurance, you pay your copay | $150 per session |

Every evaluation fee above includes testing, scoring, record review, interpretation, an individualized written report, and a live feedback session. There are no separate hourly charges added afterward. See what each evaluation includes →
Therapy is available in Texas and the other PSYPACT states, for children, teens, and college students. Insurance billing follows your plan, so an out-of-state student on a Texas parent's plan is usually still in network.
Evaluations are Texas only. Psychological and ADHD testing requires Texas licensure and is not covered by PSYPACT, so we test clients located in Texas at the time of the appointment, ages 6 through 55. If you are out of state and want testing, say so on the consultation and we will tell you plainly rather than start something we cannot finish.
Most families use one or more of these:

Hospital-trained, doctoral-level clinicians with small caseloads. Insurance does not route you to a different tier of provider.
No months-long waitlist. Most families have a first therapy session the same week they reach out (about five days on average), and evaluations are typically scheduled within a week.
Sessions continue as long as they are helping. Frequency and format flex with your family's needs.
Self-pay rates are published above. In-network families get a benefits check and an expected cost before scheduling.
We share only what a claim requires, and nothing more. For self-pay families, records stay entirely between you and your psychologist.
For plans we are not in network with, we provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans cover a meaningful portion.
Yes. We are in network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Optum (UnitedHealthcare), and Oscar Health. Members of these plans pay their copay or cost share instead of our self-pay rate. For all other plans we are fee-for-service and provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
Yes. Comprehensive ADHD evaluations are billed to insurance for members of our three in-network plans: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, and Optum (UnitedHealthcare). The same applies to autism, dyslexia and reading, combined ADHD and autism, and comprehensive neurodevelopmental evaluations. Our evaluating neuropsychologist is credentialed with all three plans. For families on other plans, the self-pay rate is $2,200 for a comprehensive ADHD evaluation.
Yes. Our Optum contract is UnitedHealthcare's behavioral health contract, so it covers most United-family plans, among them UnitedHealthcare, UMR, All Savers, Surest (formerly Bind), Golden Rule, and UnitedHealthcare StudentResources. If you are unsure which entity administers your plan, read us the payer name on your card during the consultation. Oscar Health plans are also in network.
Sessions with a licensed psychologist are $225 and sessions with a licensed psychological associate are $150. Both are HSA and FSA eligible, and we provide a superbill you can submit to your plan for out-of-network reimbursement.
A comprehensive ADHD evaluation is $2,200, an autism evaluation is $2,500, a dyslexia and reading evaluation is $2,200, a combined ADHD and autism evaluation is $3,000, and a comprehensive neurodevelopmental evaluation is $3,500. Each fee covers testing, scoring, record review, interpretation, a written report, and a live feedback session, with no separate hourly charges.
You pay the self-pay rate and we provide a superbill you submit to your insurer. Many PPO plans reimburse 50 to 80 percent of an out-of-network session after the deductible is met. HSA and FSA funds apply to both therapy and evaluations.
For therapy, often yes. Therapy is available across Texas and the other PSYPACT states, and a college student on a parent's Texas plan is usually still in network.

Yes. We verify your coverage and give you an expected cost before anyone is scheduled. The 15-minute consultation is free, Dr. Kroll takes it personally, and nothing is billed until you decide to move forward.
