Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance?

I currently accept: Aetna, Cigna, and Optum (United Healthcare insurances). I do not accept any Medicare or Medicaid insurances.

I use Alma to assist with easing the process for utilizing your insurance benefits. You can use Alma’s cost estimator tool to check your insurance coverage. Feel free to call or text me directly at 727-265-2072 for more information or via email juliacoleylmhc@wellnesswithinclearwater.com.

What if I want to self-pay for services or you don’t accept my insurance?

Self pay sessions are $135 for individual and $150 for Family.

If you do not see your insurance above you can contact your insurance to determine if they will cover out of network for mental health services. I will provide a superbill for services for you to be able to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

How do I get started?

However you feel most comfortable is fine with me! Feel free to call, text, email or submit the contact form on my website. I will respond as quickly as possible to set up a consultation.

What should I expect once I make an appointment?

After we’ve found a time that works with your schedule, I will send you my informed consent and intake documents via a HIPAA compliant EHR system. I ask that those be completed at least 24 hours prior to session. If you are using insurance, I will collect that information from you and run an eligibility check through my biller, ALMA.

What is the first session like?

I call my first sessions a “get to know you” session, I may ask you questions about your work or school, your friends, your family, your hobbies and your reasons for seeking therapy. Building rapport and helping you feel comfortable is very important to me. Come in with whatever is on your mind, I want to learn about you and what you would like to get out of therapy.

Do you do Virtual or In Person Sessions?

I offer in person or virtual sessions for teens and adults. Whatever you are most comfortable with is fine with me. I utilize a lot of play therapy techniques in my sessions with children and find that they are less distracted and more engaged in my office, so I do ask that those are in person the majority of the time. At this time, I only provide EMDR services in person.

I am conveniently located in Clearwater, FL with access from US 19, Sunset Point and McMullen Booth. Please contact me with more information on location and hours.

Do you offer sliding scale?

I do not offer sliding scale pricing at this time.
