• Talk Therapy: General psychotherapy that can be used to treat a wide range of mental health issues, including stress, trauma, and life challenges.
• Education & Career Counseling: Therapy that focuses on personal growth and professional development, helping individuals overcome barriers related to education and career challenges.
• EMDR Therapy: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is particularly effective for those with PTSD, helping individuals process and integrate traumatic memories.
• Equine Therapy: A therapeutic approach that involves interactions with horses, helping individuals build emotional awareness and foster healing in a unique, experiential setting.
• Family Therapy: This therapy focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts within families, often included in recovery programs to strengthen family relationships.
• Holistic Therapy: An integrative approach to healing that may include mindfulness practices, yoga, and other therapies that treat the mind, body, and spirit.
• Stress Reduction Therapy: This therapy focuses on relaxation techniques and coping strategies to manage stress, often included in programs aimed at promoting overall wellness.

The cost of mental health treatment with UnitedHealthcare Mental Health Coverage varies depending on your plan, the type of treatment you need, and whether the provider is in-network. Some factors that influence your out-of-pocket costs include:

• Deductibles and Co-Pays: Some UnitedHealthcare plans may require you to pay a deductible or co-pay for mental health services.
• In-Network vs. Out-of-Network Providers: Visiting in-network providers will typically be more affordable. It’s important to ensure that the mental health professionals at Time Wellness are covered under your specific UnitedHealthcare plan.
• Type of Treatment: Inpatient care will likely cost more than outpatient therapy, so understanding the level of care you need is essential to budgeting.
