Do mental health care clinicians in Miami, Florida accept insurance?

Yes, many health insurance carriers in Miami, Florida cover mental health care including therapy. 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 many insurance plans in Florida, so you’ll pay only a copay at each session after meeting your annual deductible. We work with: Advent HealthAdvent Health-MedicareAetnaAetna-MedicareBeaconBeacon-MedicareCentivoClaritev (MultiPlan PHCS)Claritev (MultiPlan PHCS)-MedicareDevoted Health Plan-MedicareEvernorth (Cigna)Evernorth (Cigna)-MedicareHealthSmartHumana-MedicareLucet (Florida Blue)Lucet (Florida Blue)-MedicareMediNcrease Health Plans (MHP)MedicareNorthwell DirectOptum, UnitedHealthcareOptum, UnitedHealthcare-MedicareOptum, UnitedHealthcare-VA Community CareOrlando HealthPartners Direct HealthProvider Network of America (PNOA)Quest Behavioral HealthSana BenefitsSana Benefits-MedicareTELUS Health (BHS)Tricare East (Humana Military) However, even in cases when a therapist 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. If you have an HMO, EPO, or Medicaid/Medicare plan that LifeStance is out of network with, you likely cannot receive a reimbursement and would be responsible for the full out-of-network session fee. LifeStance mental health therapist rates vary based on experience, we would be happy to assist you with clarifying the rate and finding you the right therapist.

Shane Kinney, Therapist

I am a Counseling Psychologist that has been working since 2001 with a variety of clients dealing with Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Sleep Disorders, ADHD, Moderate to Severe Mental Illness, and Substance Abuse. I am also a college professor and have taught at several different colleges and universities since 2008. My published research is in the use of Motivational Interviewing with college students to improve their persistence and GPA. As a Counseling Psychologist, I don’t focus so much on a diagnosis, as much as how the problem is affecting the client. I view clients with a perspective that we all have times when things don’t go so well, and that we all have strengths that help us overcome. My job is often to identify those strengths and how to incorporate them in a way that allows the client to overcome current issues. I try to adapt to the client's needs, for example: in some situations, I can be very direct, or I can elicit insight through a series of questions. I try to utilize the family to help create a cohesive support unit, creating an effective environment to support the client as they accomplish their goals. Counseling models utilized: Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Humanistic, and Systems. Something important I utilize in therapy is respect. If a client can respect themselves and others, there are no doors they can't open. Through my years of practice, and working with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, I often find respect can fix many issues we have.

Nestor Castellon, Therapist

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist/Counselor that has been working since 2016 with a variety of clients dealing with Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Bipolar, Sleep Disorders, ADHD, Moderate to Severe Mental Illness, Substance Abuse, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Maladaptive Child Behaviors, and Trauma. I also provide behavioral parent training to parents with children who struggle with ADHD and Oppositional Defiance. Many therapists like to focus solely on the diagnosis, and although this is important, my approach is different in that I like to focus on addressing the needs and problems that my clients are facing and creating effective treatment plan goals to resolve those problems and needs. I like to focus on the strengths of my clients and parents, because although things might be hard at times, we all have unique strengths and abilities that we can utilize to overcome our challenges. My job is often identifying the problem and the client's strengths, and to guide/teach the client how to navigate their problems and think about their problems in a positive and constructive way. I also enjoy teaching and incorporating coping skills practice in a way that allows the client to overcome current issues and positively change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to stress and negative thinking. I try to adapt to the client's needs, for example: in some situations, I can be very honest and direct, or I can elicit insight through a series of questions and scenarios. I try to involve and utilize the family to help create a cohesive support unit, and to help create an environment that supports the client as they accomplish their goals. The Counseling models I utilize are: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Client-Centered Approaches. Something important I utilize in therapy and that I hold myself to a high standard is respect and kindness. If a client can respect and be kind to themselves and others, there are infinite opportunities for them to reach their full potential. Throughout my years of working with such wonderful individuals and clients, I have found that listening, being kind, and respecting oneself can fix a wide variety of issues. I look forward to working with you and being able to listen to you while helping you overcome your problems, as well as provide you with only the very best support and treatment possible.
