Rivanna Counseling is in-network with Aetna, Anthem, United Healthcare, and Medicare Part B. If you have coverage through one of these providers, we can bill your insurance directly.

For clients with other insurance plans, we are considered an out-of-network provider. While we do not bill out-of-network insurers directly, we’re happy to provide a superbill—a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement.

Please note: Out-of-network reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your specific plan. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider to learn more about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

If you have questions about coverage or the superbill process, we’re here to help.

If you are in network, you will pay our contracted rate for that network. For Amit Shahane, his hourly rate for out-of-network is $200/hr. For Brenda Doremus-Daniel, her hourly rate for out-of-network is $155/hr.

We offer both offer telehealth and in-person sessions. For those choosing office-based appointments, we are located in historic, downtown Charlottesville VA. We offer free parking in a lot adjacent to our building.   Telehealth sessions offered throughout the state of Virginia and in 39 participating states through PSYPACT. Click here to see a list of the PSYPACT states.
