Therapy that takes your insurance

Colors of Austin Counseling is an identity-affirming, insurance-based group practice. We're in network with most major plans in Texas, so you and your family can get high-quality care for children ages 3 and up, teens, adults, couples and families, without guessing what it will cost. Before your first session, our team verifies your benefits and lets you know what to expect.

Insurance plans we accept

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBS) PPO, Blue Advantage HMO, MyBlue Health, Aetna PPO, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Magellan Healthcare, Moda Health and Curative. In-network plans vary by clinician. When you reach out, tell us your plan and we'll match you with a therapist who is in network with it.

What insurance covers

Virtual therapy

  • Most plans we accept cover telehealth the same way they cover in-person sessions.
  • We confirm this for your plan when we verify your benefits.

Therapy for children

  • Our in-network plans cover therapy for children ages 3 and up, including play therapy and family therapy.
  • Coverage depends on your plan's benefits, which we check before your first session.

We verify your benefits first

Before your first session, our team checks your coverage, copay or coinsurance, and deductible, and explains your expected cost. You can also request a Good Faith Estimate at any time under the No Surprises Act.
