Insurance & Self-Pay

Flexible options, because
getting help shouldn't be complicated.

For Texas clients, I accept BCBS and UnitedHealthcare, as well as self-pay. In Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Ohio, I am self-pay only. For clients with other insurance plans, I provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement — many PPO plans cover a significant portion of costs.

Self-pay clients often choose this path for the added flexibility, privacy, and freedom from insurance-driven limits on care. Whatever your situation, we'll find an approach that works.

✦

Specialized Expertise

Advanced training specifically in perinatal anxiety, OCD, and pregnancy loss — not general mental health with a side of postpartum.

◈

You Set the Pace

Self-pay clients have full flexibility on session frequency, length, and approach — without insurance dictating the terms of your care.

◇

Insurance Accepted in Texas

Texas clients can use BCBS or UnitedHealthcare. Clients in CO, FL, IL, and OH are self-pay — with a superbill available for out-of-network reimbursement.

Perinatal Anxiety

Pregnancy and postpartum anxiety is more than "new mom worry." When it keeps you awake, spiraling, or frozen — specialized support makes the difference.

Racing "what-if" thoughts
Difficulty sleeping even when baby sleeps
Physical symptoms: racing heart, tightness
Constant need to check on baby

Perinatal OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

Scary, unwanted thoughts after birth don't make you a bad mother. If they feel constant, vivid, or impossible to shake — this has a name, and it's treatable.

Intrusive, disturbing thoughts about baby
Constant mental replaying or checking
Avoiding situations out of fear
Questioning your identity as a parent

Meet Cheryl

A therapist who has trained
for exactly this.

I'm Cheryl Reeley, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in perinatal anxiety, OCD, and pregnancy loss. I built my practice around these experiences because they require a different kind of understanding — and most therapists simply aren't trained for them.

Clients tell me they finally feel safe saying the things they've been too afraid to speak out loud. That's exactly the space I'm here to create.

In Texas, I accept BCBS and UnitedHealthcare, in addition to self-pay. If you are located in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, or Ohio, I am self-pay only.

Self-pay offers the most flexibility — no restrictions on session frequency, length, or treatment approach, and complete privacy from your insurance record. For clients with other insurance plans, I provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.

Common Questions

Do you take insurance?

It depends on where you're located. For clients in Texas, I accept BCBS (Blue Cross Blue Shield) and UnitedHealthcare, in addition to self-pay. For clients in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Ohio, I am self-pay only. If you have a different insurance plan or are located outside Texas, I'm happy to provide a superbill so you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement — many PPO plans reimburse 50–80% of costs. Ask your insurer about your out-of-network mental health benefits before we meet.

What states do you serve?

I provide virtual therapy to clients in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, and Texas. All sessions are conducted online via a HIPAA-compliant video platform, so you can attend from the comfort of your home — no commute, no childcare required for appointments.

What's the difference between perinatal anxiety and postpartum depression?

Postpartum depression and perinatal anxiety are distinct conditions that can co-occur. Perinatal anxiety is characterized by excessive worry, racing thoughts, panic, and physical symptoms of anxiety — during pregnancy or postpartum. Postpartum depression involves persistent sadness, low energy, and disconnection. Both are real, both are treatable, and both deserve specialized support.

My thoughts scare me. Should I tell you exactly what they are?

Yes — and this is one of the most important parts of perinatal OCD treatment. Scary, intrusive thoughts feel shameful to say out loud, but bringing them into the open is the first step toward loosening their grip. Everything you share in session is confidential. You won't shock me, and you won't be judged. These thoughts don't define you as a parent.

How do I get started?

The first step is a free 15-minute phone consultation. We'll briefly talk about what's going on, what you're looking for, and whether we seem like a good fit. There's no commitment and no pressure. You can book online via the button below, or call/text (512) 641-9528.
