Most of my clients pay for services by using their insurance. I am currently in-network with:

• Aetna

• Optum

• United Healthcare (UHC)

I have pending contracts for BCBS, Cigna/Evernorth, Multiplan, and others with no estimated timeline on when I may be in-network.

For those wanting to self-pay or those who have an insurance I am not in-network with, the rates are:

• Individual: $120/session

• Family $140/session

I am able to accept payment through HSA and FSA accounts as mental health counseling is a medical service. You can add the account on Therapy notes like any other payment method. The only stipulation is that there must be medical necessity (a diagnosis) present for services to qualify. If you have questions, send me an email!

I wanted to chose something that reflected how I see the process of therapy. Openworld represents the freedom of possibility as well as the anxiety that can come with not knowing where to begin.

Openworld is also a genre of video game in which people can explore a large environment with minimal restrictions. This can lead many people experiencing both the joy of exploration and the anxiety of not knowing what to do next.

Openworld Counseling is therapy for humans, by humans. Brittany Vazquez does not utilize AI in any capacity, including AI tools for note taking or to summarize notes. Brittany Vazquez does not take audio/visual recordings of sessions for any purposes.
