21 Highly Recommended Los Angeles Aetna Insurance Therapists

Why choose our Aetna therapists

At Yellow Chair Collective, we believe therapy should honor you as a whole person—not just the challenges you’re facing. Our team is uniquely positioned to provide care that goes beyond symptom management to address the deeper cultural, relational, and systemic factors that shape your mental health.

What makes us different:

• Culturally responsive care: While we welcome all clients who feel our therapists are a good fit for their needs, we specialize in multicultural mental health and Asian American therapy. Our team includes therapists who speak multiple languages and have a deep understanding of how culture, identity, and mental health intersect. We provide a space where your experiences are seen, heard, and honored.

• Trauma-informed approach: Every member of our team practices trauma-informed, LGBTQIA-affirming therapy that creates safety and honors your lived experiences. Many of our therapists bring their own intersecting identities and lived experiences to their work, which informs how they show up in the therapy room. This perspective allows for a more nuanced understanding of clients’ experiences and creates space for conversations that feel genuine, respectful, and attuned to each person’s context.

• Our clinicians are trained in diverse specialized modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Attachment-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Art Therapy, Brainspotting, Somatic Therapy, the Gottman Method for couples, and more. This variety helps us find the best approach to support your individual or family needs.

• Flexible care options: We offer both online and limited in-person sessions in Los Angeles County (Arcadia, Manhattan Beach, and Burbank) and Orange County (Irvine) to meet your needs.

We’re more than a therapy practice—we’re a collective dedicated to creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal in ways that feel true to who they are. When you work with us, you’re not just another client; you’re part of a community that values authenticity, belonging, and culturally responsive care.

How to use your Aetna benefits for therapy

Understanding your insurance benefits doesn’t have to be confusing. We’re here to help you navigate the process so you can focus on what matters most—your mental health. Here’s a step-by-step guide to using your Aetna insurance for therapy at Yellow Chair Collective.

Steps to access your Aetna benefits:

1. Verify your coverage: Contact Aetna directly or check your member portal online to confirm your mental health benefits, including copay amounts, deductibles, and any session limits.

2. Check which therapists are in-network: Review our list of Aetna-accepting therapists above and visit their individual profile pages to learn more about their specialties and approach.

3. Request a session: Once you find a therapist who aligns with what you’re looking for, schedule your intake appointment and provide your Aetna insurance information.

4. Attend your session: Your therapist will bill Aetna directly, and you’ll only be responsible for your copay or any out-of-pocket costs based on your plan.

5. Continue your care: Work with your therapist to establish goals and a treatment plan that supports your ongoing healing journey.

If you have questions about your coverage or need help understanding your benefits, our team is happy to assist. We can also provide superbills for PPO plans if you’d like to submit for reimbursement.
