Connect with Therapists who accept UnitedHealthcare (UHC) in Ames, IA

When choosing a therapist in Ames, IA, 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?

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.

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.

If you don’t feel like your first choice was a match, don’t worry – we’ll help you switch to a different therapist in our network.

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning, you may want to consider starting with a psychiatric provider who can assess your needs and prescribe medication if deemed necessary. If your symptoms are mild or moderate, therapy may be a better starting point. No matter where you begin your journey – your provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s based on your individual needs and concerns. Still unsure?
