MellaHealth is a Connecticut-based company that provides research-validated therapy services delivered virtually or in-person by highly trained, licensed clinicians. We offer therapy sessions from the comfort of your home – or in an office-based setting – at a time that is convenient for you. Mellahealth accepts most major insurance plans and offers an in-network-based affordable self-pay option. Our therapy platform utilizes the most up-to-date technological advances for HIPAA security, easy-to-use scheduling, communication, and therapy appointments.

All MellaHealth therapists hold a master’s degree in their field and are licensed by the state of Connecticut as Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW), Licensed Master Social Workers (LMSW), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC), or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT). In addition to our rigorous interview and reference-checking process, each prospective therapist participates in our advanced-level cognitive behavioral training and completes mastery assessments in cognitive behavioral therapy.

We provide a free consultation to determine the best-fit therapist based on their unique situation, client preferences, and schedule. Research suggests that the ‘fit’ between you and the therapist is the best predictor of therapeutic outcomes, so we take this process very seriously.

If your insurance company has an in-network contract with MellaHealth, the cost of the sessions is based on your insurance coverage. We currently accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, Cigna, ConnectiCare, Medicaid (HUSKY), Medicare, TRICARE and UnitedHealthcare.

The insurance benefit verification and billing will be handled by MellaHealth, and you will be responsible for your co-pay/co-insurance (and, if applicable, deductible) which will be billed at the time of each session.

If your MellaHealth therapist is an out-of-network provider for your insurance company, the benefits specialists at MellaHealth will provide you with information regarding your benefits and out-of-pocket costs. Similar to in-network coverage, MellaHealth will process all out-of-network claims and paperwork directly with your insurance provider.

If you do not have insurance or would prefer that MellaHealth not bill your insurance, sessions will be billed at $125 per 45-minute session.

We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as health spending account (HSA) cards.

In most cases, referrals are not needed for insurance reimbursement of therapy sessions. However, if your plan requires a referral, a benefits specialist at MellaHealth will notify you and help facilitate a referral by sending a request, with your permission, to your primary care doctor.
