We're pleased to share that, effective June 22, 2026, Elite Psychology Group is in-network with Blue Shield of California. Members can now use their in-network mental health benefits to work with our clinicians here in West Los Angeles.
This addition rounds out our commercial insurance panel. Elite Psychology Group now accepts Blue Shield of California, Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, and Lyra — meaning a large share of insured Angelenos can begin therapy with us at their in-network rate, without navigating the cost and paperwork of out-of-network reimbursement.
What being in-network means for you
When a practice is in-network with your plan, your insurer has a contracted rate with that practice. In practice, that usually translates to lower out-of-pocket costs, a predictable copay or coinsurance instead of paying the full session fee upfront, and no out-of-network claims for you to file and chase. For Blue Shield of California members who have been putting off care because of cost or complexity, this removes a real barrier.
Your exact benefits — copay, deductible, and session limits — depend on your specific plan. Our team verifies your coverage before your first session, so you'll know what to expect before you commit to anything.
About Elite Psychology Group
Elite Psychology Group is a West Los Angeles psychology practice offering individual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, and stress. Care is delivered by our team of licensed clinicians and supervised associates, in-person at our West LA office and through secure telehealth for clients across California. We match each new client with the clinician best suited to their needs and goals, rather than a one-size-fits-all assignment.
