Looking for a therapist who accepts Aetna in North Carolina? Origins Counseling & Wellness has clinicians who participate with Aetna and provide affirming, individualized mental health care.

Using insurance can make finding the right therapist more complicated than it needs to be. At Origins, you can look for an Aetna-participating clinician based on more than insurance alone. Explore therapists by specialties, approach, location, session format, and availability to find someone who feels like a good fit for you.

Aetna participation varies by clinician, and your individual plan determines your actual benefits and out-of-pocket costs. Before beginning therapy, check your therapist's current insurance information and contact Aetna to verify your outpatient mental health benefits, network status, deductible, copay or coinsurance, and any other plan requirements.

Origins accepts commercial insurance plans only. Many people tell us they have Aetna but are enrolled in a Medicaid or Medicare plan from the same company, and we are not able to accept those.
