Medicaid covers therapy and other outpatient mental health care — for children and teens it's guaranteed in every state under EPSDT, and all states cover mental health services for adults too, though the details vary. That can include individual therapy, counseling, and medication management, usually with no or low copays. The therapists below accept Medicaid; call and confirm they take your state's plan and are accepting new patients.

How do I find a therapist that accepts Medicaid near me?
Start with your Medicaid managed-care plan’s own provider directory, since most Medicaid enrollees are in a managed-care plan and that plan’s network decides who’s covered, not a generic search. If that’s unclear or you’re fee-for-service, use your state Medicaid agency’s provider search portal, then call the member services number on your Medicaid card to confirm the therapist is still in-network and taking new patients. If you strike out, search findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov for a federally qualified health center near you, which must serve Medicaid patients regardless of network status.
Does Medicaid cover therapy the same way for kids and adults?
No. Under EPSDT, children under 21 on Medicaid are entitled to any medically necessary therapy, even if it’s not listed in the state plan. Adults get whatever mental health services their state plan specifically covers, which is narrower and varies by state. Full details: Does Medicaid cover therapy?
Does Medicaid cover therapy and counseling?
Yes. Mental health services are covered by Medicaid in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., including outpatient therapy, counseling, psychiatric care, and substance use treatment. Federal mental health parity rules protect these benefits.
How many therapy sessions does Medicaid cover?
It varies by state. Some states allow unlimited medically necessary sessions, while others set limits or require periodic review to continue. Your plan or provider can tell you how many visits are authorized.
How do I find a therapist that accepts Medicaid?
Use your plan’s behavioral-health provider directory, contact a community mental health center, or check online therapy platforms that accept Medicaid. Call to confirm the therapist takes your plan and is accepting new clients, since demand can be high.
Does Medicaid cover online or telehealth therapy?
In most states, yes. Telehealth therapy expanded widely and is commonly covered, which is helpful where in-person providers are scarce. Confirm telehealth coverage with your specific plan.
Do I need a referral to start therapy?
Often you can self-refer for behavioral health services without going through a primary care provider, but some managed-care plans have their own process. Check your plan so you know whether a referral or pre-authorization is needed.
What mental health conditions does Medicaid cover treatment for?
Coverage typically includes depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, and more, through individual, group, and family therapy plus psychiatric medication management. Crisis and inpatient services are also covered when medically necessary.
