Questions we hear most
We are currently in network with Kaiser Northern California, Optum, Western Health Advantage, and Aetna. However, many clients use their out-of-network benefits to get reimbursed for a portion of session costs — we can provide a superbill to submit to your insurance provider. We recommend contacting your insurance company to ask about out-of-network mental health benefits before your first session.
Telehealth 1:1 therapy services may only be provided in the state where you are physically located at the time of your session. We currently serve clients in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado. All other services offered by our practice do not constitute therapy, are not mental health treatment, and are not restricted by state licensure requirements.
Most therapy treats mental health in isolation from the body. At Behold Your Wonder, our clinicians are specifically selected for their experience with hormonal mental health. You won't need to explain why your cycle affects your mood. We also offer coordination with a specialist network, async support between sessions, and Mental Health Coordinator services — creating a clinical experience that most practices simply don't offer.
Your Mental Health Coordinator is your dedicated administrative guide throughout your time with us. They manage your scheduling, connect you to the right clinician, coordinate referrals to our specialist network, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Every client is assigned a coordinator at intake at no additional charge.
Async support is direct messaging access to your licensed clinician between sessions. Your clinician responds within an agreed window — typically within 24 hours on business days. This is not a crisis line or a bot. It is your therapist, accessible in a format that fits your life.
Begin with a 25-minute consultation with a licensed therapist for $65. This dedicated time allows us to discuss what brings you to therapy, answer your questions, explore your goals, and determine whether Behold Your Wonder is the right fit for your needs.
Yes. All services at Behold Your Wonder are delivered via HIPAA-compliant, encrypted telehealth platforms. Your information is protected under HIPAA and will never be shared without your written consent, except in situations required by law.
Core Messaging Based Therapy (CMBT) is our proprietary integrative modality. Not all clients will use CMBT — your clinician will work with you to determine the most appropriate approach based on your needs and goals. CMBT is one tool in our clinical toolkit, not a requirement for all clients.
