Connect with a mental health expert who specializes in you

There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns — all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist.

Rula specializes in both online therapy and, in certain states, in-person therapy, giving you the flexibility to meet with your provider from wherever you’re most comfortable. We’ll send you an appointment reminder containing a secure link to your scheduled Zoom session approximately 24 hours before your session.

All initial and follow-up therapy appointments are scheduled for 60 minutes. This time is set aside for your care and includes both face-to-face time with your therapist and any necessary administrative tasks, such as documentation and scheduling. Each therapist and visit is unique, so while some appointments may not use the entire 60 minutes for direct interaction, the full hour is dedicated to your care.

Rula accepts commercial plans from most major insurance carriers including Aetna, Anthem, most Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield plans, Cigna, Kaiser (by referral), Optum, Oscar, and United Healthcare. These vary by state. We can also work with some employer-based plans not listed. We now accept some Medicare Advantage plans in California (by referral) including Kaiser Southern California, Cedars-Sinai, and PIH Health. We also accept the following Medicare Advantage plans (without referral): Anthem Blue Cross of California Medicare Advantage (CA), Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia (GA), and Carelon Behavioral Health (CA, GA).

Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. As a benefit of using Rula, we’ll contact your insurance carrier and provide you with an estimate of your per session cost before your first appointment!

Although Rula is in-network with most major insurance plans, we understand that not everyone is covered by insurance. Rula offers a cash rate of $150/session for individual therapy and $165/session for families or couples. The cash rate for psychiatry sessions is $225 for an initial 60-minute intake session and $175 for 30-minute follow-up sessions. You can also use your HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Savings Account) to cover out-of-pocket expenses.
