Santamaria Wellness is in-network with Optum Behavioral Health, Aetna and Cigna Health Care insurance. If we are not in network with your health care insurance you would pay out of pocket for services. Santamaria Wellness will work with you to provide an affordable fee for service. Alternatively, some insurance plans provide what is called " out-of-network benefits". Out-of-network benefits applies when you see a provider that is not-in-network with your insurance carrier. If you do utilize out-of-network benefits Santamaria Wellness can provide a superbill (receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please check with your health insurance provider to verify your out-of-network benefits.

Santamaria Wellness offers Couples Therapy and Individual Therapy Services. If we are not in-network with your health care insurance we offer flexible Individual therapy sessions at 45 mins for 120 dollars and 60 min sessions at 150 dollars. Couples therapy sessions are a flat rate of 200 dollars and length of sessions are 60 mins. Typically, sessions are scheduled once per week or bi-weekly in order to achieve maximum benefits. This is discussed and agreed upon by both provider and client at the start of services and assessed throughout our work together.

Length of working together can vary depending on the focus and goals. Santamaria Wellness works with people to identify goals and develop a plan for achieving them. As progress is made, we will decrease sessions and work together to maintain progress on a schedule that is comfortable for you.

To help couples heal from emotional disconnection to find more satisfying intimacy, we utilize Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). EFT is a method that is used to improve attachment and bonding in relationships. This approach to couples therapy was developed by doctors Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg in the 1980s and is rooted in research on love as an attachment bond. This type of model can help couples form more secure, emotional bonds which can result in stronger relationships and improved communication.
