Common FAQs

How to find the right therapist in San Mateo, CA

When choosing a therapist in San Mateo, CA, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you:

Do they accept your insurance?
Do you need a therapist who specializes in a specific mental health concern such as depression, anxiety, or trauma?
Are you looking for someone to work with you individually? Or are you looking for someone to support you as a couple or family?
Would you be more comfortable partnering with a therapist of a certain race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious, or cultural background?

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy.
