How to use this page

A calmer insurance-first shortlist

  1. Confirm network status

    Ask whether the therapist is in-network for your exact plan, not only the carrier name.

  2. Ask about superbills

    If they are out-of-network, a superbill may help you seek reimbursement from your insurer.

  3. Compare bipolar experience

    Prioritize therapists who name bipolar disorder directly and can explain their treatment approach.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Are these therapists guaranteed to be in-network with Optum?
No. Insurance networks change often, and plan details vary. These providers list Optum as accepted insurance, but you should confirm benefits directly with the therapist and your insurer before booking.
What will a session cost with Optum?
Among the Optum providers listed here, self-reported session fees run $90–$300. Insurance may cover most of that depending on your plan and deductible — confirm your mental-health benefits and copay with Optum directly, since networks and coverage change often.
What if none of these providers are the right fit?
Use the matching flow to broaden by location, telehealth, diagnosis, and care preferences. The directory can still surface bipolar specialists who are private-pay or out-of-network.
How many Optum bipolar therapists are listed?
This page currently lists 55 bipolar-informed therapists in California who include Optum in their profile, practicing across 26 cities including Anaheim, Bakersfield, and Santa Ana. 55 of them are currently marked as accepting new patients, and 55 offer telehealth.
