Do mental health care clinicians in Cambridge, Massachusetts accept insurance?

Calculating the exact amount of coverage will be based on the plan details and whether the selected mental health clinician is in-network or out-of-network. LifeStance is in-network with most insurance plans in Massachusetts, so you’ll pay only a copay at each session after meeting your annual deductible. We work with AetnaBeaconBlue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)CentivoClaritev (MultiPlan PHCS)Devoted Health Plan-MedicareEvernorth (Cigna)HealthSmartMediNcrease Health Plans (MHP)Northwell DirectOptum, UnitedHealthcareOptum, UnitedHealthcare-VA Community CarePartners Direct HealthProvider Network of America (PNOA)Quest Behavioral HealthSana BenefitsTELUS Health (BHS)TuftsWellSense Health Plan However, even in cases when a LifeStance provider is out-of-network with your insurance, you may still be able to receive reimbursement from your insurance company especially If you have a PPO or POS insurance plan.

Jyothi Ramakrishnan, Post-Doctoral Fellow

I enjoy collaborating with clients to tune into their own inner guidance and intuition. I also enjoy supporting clients who are exploring questions about meaning and purpose in their lives. In my work, I draw from the fields of positive psychology, or the science of happiness and thriving; self-compassion, which focuses on treating oneself with the same kindness that one might treat a friend; and mindfulness, which focuses on the power of returning to and inhabiting the present moment. I also integrate skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors; and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on regulating emotions. I have experience working with clients who are interested in spirituality/religion and meditation. Education and Certifications: I completed my doctoral training in Developmental Psychology at the Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota and at the Clinical Science and Psychopathology Research Program, University of Minnesota. I have published research focused on psychological strengths that contribute to resilience, such as mastery motivation and positive emotionality. I completed my predoctoral internship at the Departments of Psychiatry and Pediatric Psychology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, where I provided psychotherapy, diagnostic assessment and neuropsychological assessment to children, adolescents and families. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation residential substance treatment center in Center City, Minnesota, where I provided individual and group psychotherapy, and diagnostic assessment to adults.
