Fees and insurance at Little Dove Psychology - two birds at sunrise symbolizing a clear, direct relationship between family and psychologist

Where We Are with Insurance

Little Dove Psychology is in network with Aetna, UnitedHealthcare (UHC), and Optum. If your family has one of these plans, therapy sessions are billed through your insurance and you pay your plan's copay or cost share. Our UnitedHealthcare/Optum contract includes most United-family plans, such as UMR, United Behavioral Health (UBH), All Savers, Surest (formerly Bind), Golden Rule, and UnitedHealthcare StudentResources. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas is projected for late September or early October, and you can join our updates list to hear the day your plan goes live.

For all other plans, we are fee-for-service. You pay a flat session fee, we provide a superbill, and many PPO plans reimburse a meaningful portion out of network. HSA and FSA funds apply either way.

However your family pays, one thing does not change: your child's treatment plan is designed around your child, and decisions about care stay between you and your clinician.

What Stays the Same

Privacy

We share only what a claim requires, and nothing more. For fee-for-service families, records stay entirely between you and your psychologist.

Faster access

No months-long waitlist. We have appointments available now, including evenings and weekends.

Care on your timeline

Sessions continue as long as they are helping. Frequency and format flex with your family's needs.

Specialist-level expertise

Hospital-trained, doctoral-level clinicians who keep small caseloads and spend unhurried time with each family.

Transparent pricing

Flat session fees for fee-for-service families, and clear cost-share expectations for in-network care.

Superbills for reimbursement

For plans we are not in network with yet, we provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans cover a meaningful portion.

Making It Work Financially

Most families use one or more of these to bring the cost down:

In-network coverage: Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Optum are live now, with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas projected for late September or early October
Out-of-network benefits: submit our superbill; many PPO plans reimburse 50–80% after the deductible
HSA/FSA funds: therapy is a qualified expense; most families can pay with pre-tax dollars
