Cigna Therapists in Texas
Neema Counseling is in-network with Cigna, making compassionate mental health care more accessible for individuals and families in Austin, Houston, and throughout Texas.
Our therapists provide support for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, major life transitions, and other emotional concerns. Christian counseling is also available for clients who would like to incorporate their faith into therapy.
CIGNA AND EVERNORTH PLANS WE ACCEPT
Neema Counseling is in-network with Cigna. If your card says Evernorth Behavioral Health, that is Cigna’s behavioral health network, and you are in the right place — the two names cover the same benefit, which is a common source of confusion when people are checking whether therapy is covered.
We work with Cigna plans through employers, the Health Insurance Marketplace, and individual coverage. Plan participation and benefits vary by plan, so we recommend contacting us with the information on your insurance card. We verify your Cigna benefits before you begin, help you understand your estimated cost, and submit claims directly to Cigna for covered services. Insurance quotes are estimates rather than guarantees, and we encourage you to confirm your benefits with Cigna as well.
DOES CIGNA COVER COUPLES COUNSELING?
Traditional couples counseling is typically not covered by Cigna. Coverage may be possible in certain circumstances, depending on the reason for therapy, whether the service is considered medically necessary, and the details of your plan. Our team can help you verify your benefits before you begin couples counseling with us. If your plan does not cover this service, we also have private-pay options available.
