My therapist is excellent. We have been working together for a couple of years and I am so grateful for the deep understanding and trust we’ve built. The administration of the therapy is also very good, the booking, billing and login logistics work perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with the service and I recommend it to friends constantly.

My psychiatrist has been fabulous! She is so kind, supportive and has helped me find medications that actually work. I’ve had many psychiatrist and therapist through out my journey with bipolar disorder. My current psychiatrist is the best decision I’ve ever made. Rula is great about communicating back to me if I need anything outside of my psychiatrist. I love that I can receive care from the comfort of my home. Rula also has implemented check in’s/how are you doing at every appointment and that’s helped tremendously! I highly recommend Rula!

I stumbled upon Rula while looking for a therapist and gave it a shot on a whim. The process was quick and simple, they accepted my insurance and my copay is low, and they have a nice variety of therapist to choose from. I’d highly recommend this site!

After years of trying to find the right therapist and psychiatrist, I thought I would try Rula and I’m glad I did, my therapist and psychiatrist are amazing, very professional and actually care about the patient. I recommend Rula.

Amazing number of great providers, excellent customer service and just a feeling of "finally!" finding a place I can truly get the help I've needed for a very long time. AND they take my weird insurance.

This is my first time with telehealth, and I cannot believe how convenient it is. Booking an appointment was very fast and researching the therapists available made the process even faster.

Starting therapy
There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns – all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist.
It depends on your personal preferences and goals. Whether you’re seeking a therapist who specializes in certain mental health conditions, shares your ethnic background, or is available to meet at your preferred time – Rula makes it easy to search and filter by what matters most to you. If you don’t feel like your first choice was a match, don’t worry – we’ll help you switch to a different therapist in our network. Check out our blog post for more pointers on finding your best-fit therapist.
Rula specializes in online therapy – giving you the flexibility to meet with your therapist from wherever you’re most comfortable. We’ll send you an appointment reminder containing a secure link to your scheduled Zoom session approximately 24 hours before your session.
Understanding costs
Rula accepts 100+ commercial insurance plans including most major carriers such as Aetna, Anthem, most Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield plans, Cigna, Kaiser (by referral), Optum, Oscar, and United Healthcare. Rula also accepts many employer-sponsored plans, plus Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid in many states, with coverage expanding regularly.
When searching for a provider, you'll be able to quickly check if your specific plan is covered by filling in your state and searching for your insurance carrier.
Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. As a benefit of using Rula, we’ll contact your insurance carrier and provide you with an estimate of your per session cost before your first appointment!
While Rula is in-network with most major insurance plans, we understand that not everyone is covered by insurance. Rula offers a cash rate of $150/session for individual therapy and $165/session for families or couples.
For psychiatry, the self-pay rate is $225 for an initial 60-minute intake session and $175/session for 30-minute follow-up sessions.. You can also use your HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Savings Account) to cover out-of-pocket expenses.
