FAQ

Don't let questions stop you from receiving the care you deserve!
Do you accept insurance for therapy services?

Yes. To make care more accessible, we are in-network with several major insurance providers, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Humana, Tricare, Cigna, Medicaid, PHCS, United Health Care, and Amerigroup. We can file claims as a service to our clients and are committed to helping you receive your maximum benefits.

What is Play Therapy and how can it help my child?

Play Therapy is a powerful therapeutic tool used with children to help them work through complex emotions like anger, anxiety, and grief. In a safe and healthy space, children use play to express themselves and learn new coping skills. This helps them emerge more resilient and resourceful.

What should I expect during my first visit to Therapy Academy?

Before your first appointment, you'll receive an invitation to our portal to complete new client paperwork. If your child is the client, we ask parents to come alone for the first visit to discuss your goals. When you arrive, you’ll find a comfortable waiting area. During your first session, we will identify your reasons for coming to therapy and work together to create a plan to reach your goals.

What types of supervision do you offer for licensed professionals?

Dr. Sara Cantu provides supervision for professionals working toward their Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensures. She also offers specialized supervision for the Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) credentials.
