In-Network Aetna Therapy,
Anywhere in Oklahoma.

Yes. Kenzie Langford and Demetria Bonds see Aetna clients face to face at the Oklahoma City office, and both see clients online as well. Same member ID, same verification.

Taylor Hendricks meets clients outdoors around the Tulsa metro through Neurodivergent IRL: sessions on trails and in parks, ages twelve and up. Every other clinician on this page sees Tulsa clients online. We verify your benefits before the first session, trail or screen.

Most Aetna plans cover telehealth therapy. Madison Johnson and Michi Medley see clients online statewide, and every clinician offers video sessions. We confirm your plan's telehealth benefit during verification, so you'll know before your first video session. More on the online therapy in Oklahoma page.

Yes. Anxiety and depression fall under the outpatient behavioral health benefit on every commercial Aetna plan. Your copay, coinsurance, and deductible depend on your specific plan, so we check your benefits and tell you what to expect before your first session. More on the anxiety and depression page.

For most Aetna plans, no. PPO, EPO, and Open Access HMO plans don't require a referral to see a mental health provider. Some traditional HMO plans do want a referral from your primary care physician. We check this when we run your benefits, so you don't have to guess.

Most current Aetna plans don't cap outpatient therapy sessions as long as treatment is medically necessary. Some plans still carry annual limits or ask for authorization after a set number of visits. We check yours during benefits verification.

Yes. EMDR is billed under standard psychotherapy codes and is covered like any other outpatient therapy session under your Aetna plan. Kenzie Langford is the EMDR trained clinician currently booking with Aetna. Shylah Ridgway is also EMDR trained, and her therapy caseload is currently full. More on the EMDR therapy page.

Yes. Kenzie Langford and Taylor Hendricks both work with teens, and Taylor sees clients twelve and up. Send the teen's Aetna member ID through the contact form and we run the benefits before the first session. More on the therapy for teens page.

Yes. Perinatal mental health is covered under the same outpatient benefit as any other therapy on your Aetna plan. Madison Johnson works with pregnancy, postpartum, and the stretch after, online across Oklahoma. More on the perinatal and postpartum page.

For 2026, Aetna isn't selling individual plans on the ACA Marketplace, so a 2026 Marketplace plan won't be Aetna. If you had Aetna through the Marketplace last year, check the carrier on your current card. The insurance hub lists every plan we're in network with. Aetna coverage through an employer isn't affected by this.

Aetna's employee assistance program is called Aetna Resources For Living. It's a separate benefit from your health plan: a set number of sessions per issue per year, three, six, or eight depending on your employer. Mention it when you reach out and we'll tell you whether your EAP sessions can be used at Ala Therapy Collective.

It depends on your plan. Most Aetna employer plans use either a flat copay per session or a coinsurance percentage once any deductible is met, and on a high deductible plan the deductible comes first. We verify your plan and put your per-session number in writing before you start.

Every plan comes with a Summary of Benefits and Coverage, the standardized document in your Aetna member portal or from your HR department. Find the row that reads "If you need mental health, behavioral health, or substance abuse services" and look at "Outpatient services." The Network Provider column is what you'd pay per session with us. A dollar amount is a copay; a percentage is coinsurance; "after deductible" means the deductible comes first. If you'd rather not decode it, send it with your member ID and we read it for you.

Deductible: what you pay before the plan starts paying, if your plan applies it to therapy. Copay: a flat amount per session. Coinsurance: a percentage of the contracted session rate instead of a flat amount. Out-of-pocket maximum: the ceiling on what you pay in a plan year; once you hit it, covered care is paid in full by the plan. We tell you which of these your plan uses and where you stand on each before your first session.

If we find during verification that your specific Aetna plan isn't in our network, we tell you upfront. You can still see us using out-of-network benefits if your plan has them, and we provide superbills for reimbursement.

If insurance isn't going to work, we have self-pay and limited sliding scale options. Details are on the insurance hub.

Aetna is commercial insurance, usually through an employer. Aetna Better Health is Aetna's Medicaid plan, known in Oklahoma as SoonerSelect. Ala Therapy Collective is in network with Aetna commercial plans and does not bill Medicaid, including Aetna Better Health and SoonerSelect. If you have the Medicaid version, reach out anyway and we'll point you toward in-network options.

Here's what the Aetna Better Health card looks like:

If any of those show up on your card, that's Aetna Better Health and we'd need to refer you elsewhere. If your card just says "Aetna" with a plan type like PPO, EPO, POS, or HMO, you're commercial Aetna and we can verify your benefits.

Yes, online. Kenzie Langford is licensed in Texas and Massachusetts as well as Oklahoma, and Aetna is in network in both states. Each state has its own page: Aetna therapy in Texas and Aetna therapy in Massachusetts.
