Insurance Policy.
To help safeguard your confidentiality and privacy and to ensure the highest level of therapeutic/collaborative support, EPC prefers not to take insurance.
Many insurance companies limit the number of allowable sessions and require a mental health diagnosis that often stays on your permanent record. These diagnoses may be reported by your insurance company during, for example,
applications for security clearances and life insurance policy suitability and/or eligibility checks. However, in advocacy efforts for increasing access to care, EPC is currently credentialed with four (4) insurance panels:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas
- Aetna
- TriCare
- United Health Care
EPC cannot guarantee coverage or payee insurance reimbursements for counseling services rendered. Please reference your insurance policy for allowable coverages and payment types.

Technology Assisted Counseling (TAC).
Technology Assisted Counseling (TAC) is the provision of mental health services through audio and video technology (e.g., phone, video).
It enables counseling sessions to occur via a HIPAA-compliant platform to protect your privacy.
TAC is a discreet and effective way to seek counseling services from the safety and comfort of your own home. Let us know if you would prefer TAC for your appointments.
