By: Gina Romero, LCSW, LICSW
If you’re looking for a therapist in Las Vegas who accepts Aetna insurance, you’re not alone. Mental health care can feel complicated, especially when you're trying to figure out what your insurance actually covers.
At Wandering Pine Wellness, we make it simple. Our licensed therapists in Las Vegas are in-network with Aetna, and we’re here to help you get started quickly, without the usual delays or back-and-forth.

What therapy typically costs with Aetna

What Does Therapy Cost with Aetna?
Most Aetna plans cover mental health services with either a copay or coinsurance (a percentage of the session fee). Here’s a general breakdown:
Copay Plan - Usually $20–$50 per session
Coinsurance Plan - Often 20–30% of the session fee, once you’ve met your deductible
High Deductible Plan - You may pay the full rate until you meet your deductible
At Wandering Pine Wellness, we bill Aetna directly so you don’t have to deal with paperwork, reimbursement forms, or confusing codes. We also help you understand your specific benefits before you begin.
How to Check Your Aetna Coverage
Before your first session, you can call the number on your insurance card and ask:
Do you have a deductible for mental health care?
Is your plan PPO, HMO, or POS?
What is your copay or coinsurance?
Are telehealth sessions covered?
Need help? Our admin team at Wandering Pine Wellness can walk you through your benefits and explain what to expect. We’ll talk with you in conversational terms, not insurance jargon.
