Using your plan
Using Your Cigna Plan for Counseling
Davis-Smith Mental Health is in-network with Cigna, which means we bill Cigna directly and you pay your share, like a copay, coinsurance or anything left on your deductible.
On many Cigna plans, mental health benefits are managed by Evernorth Behavioral Health, part of the Cigna family of companies. That is why you might see the name Evernorth on your paperwork or when you call about your benefits. It is still your Cigna coverage, and we are in-network with both.
You can use your Cigna plan for anxiety therapy, school anxiety, trauma therapy, EMDR therapy and more, in person at our New Lenox office or by telehealth.

Know before you go
How to Check Your Cigna Mental Health Benefits
As a courtesy, we check your benefits before confirming your first appointment, so you know what to expect. If you would like to check on your own too, call the member services or behavioral health number on the back of your insurance card and ask these questions:
- Do I have outpatient mental health benefits, and is Davis-Smith Mental Health in-network for my plan?
- What is my deductible, and how much of it have I met this year?
- What will I pay per session after my deductible, as a copay or coinsurance?
- Do I need a referral or prior authorization for therapy?
- Are telehealth sessions covered the same way as in-person sessions?
- Is my mental health coverage managed by Evernorth Behavioral Health?
Write down the date, the name of the person you spoke with and a reference number for the call. If anything is confusing, send it our way and we will help you make sense of it.

More ways we can help
Other Ways We Help
Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety is the most common reason families come to us, and it’s the foundation of everything we do. Whether your teen is avoiding school, your young adult can’t stop overthinking, or worry has taken over your daily life, we can help. Our therapists use CBT and EMDR to help clients understand what’s driving their anxiety and build real tools to manage it.
Teen Anxiety Counseling
The teen years are when anxiety tends to hit the hardest. School pressure, social stress, comparison, and the weight of figuring out who they are can leave teens feeling overwhelmed and stuck. We work with teens to understand what’s behind the anxiety and give them real skills they can actually use, at school, at home, and in the moments that feel like too much.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most effective approaches available for anxiety, trauma, and overwhelming emotions. It works by helping the brain reprocess difficult memories and experiences that are keeping you stuck. Our EMDR-trained therapist works with teens, young adults, and adults.
Depression Therapy
Depression and anxiety often show up together. If your teen has lost interest in things they used to enjoy, is sleeping too much or too little, or seems hopeless about the future, therapy can help. We work with clients to find what’s underneath the depression and build a path forward that actually feels possible.
Trauma Counseling
Trauma is one of the most common drivers of anxiety in teenagers and young adults. It doesn’t always look like what you’d expect. It can show up as constant worry, anger, trouble concentrating, or emotional shutdown. Our therapists help clients work through trauma at their own pace, in a space where they feel safe.
Emotional Regulation
When anxiety runs high, emotions feel unmanageable. Some children, teens, and adults feel everything. Small frustrations become explosions. Sadness becomes despair. We help clients understand their patterns and develop strategies for handling intense feelings without shutting down or lashing out.
Relationship Counseling
Anxiety doesn’t just affect the person experiencing it. It changes how they show up in every relationship. We help teens, young adults, and adults work through the ways anxiety and other challenges are impacting their connections with family, friends, and partners.
Life Transitions
Starting high school. Leaving for college. A new job, a divorce, a move. Life transitions can trigger anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, even when the change is something you wanted. We help clients work through the uncertainty and build confidence in who they’re becoming.
Young Adult Counseling
The years between 18 and 30 come with a unique kind of pressure. A lot of young adults are dealing with anxiety they’ve carried since their teenage years but never had the chance to address. We help them get unstuck and start building a life that feels like theirs.
You don’t have to figure this out alone
If something told you to keep reading this far, trust that feeling. Whether it’s for yourself, your teen, or your young adult, the hardest part is deciding to start. We are here when you are ready.
