-- Elite Psychology Group has undergone a significant expansion of anxiety therapy services with Anthem Blue Cross members in West Los Angeles. The initiative enhances access to both in‑person and virtual mental health care, offering comprehensive treatment options to address rising community demand.
Anxiety disorders rank among the most common mental health challenges, affecting millions of Californians each year. Recognizing this, Elite Psychology Group has entered into a strategic partnership with Anthem Blue Cross of California to expand its network of credentialed therapists. Anthem members in West LA are now able to schedule sessions with licensed clinicians specializing in anxiety therapy at significantly reduced out‑of‑pocket costs. Typical in‑network copays vary, subject to individual plan design—some plans even cover therapy sessions before the annual deductible is met, further minimizing financial barriers.
Coverage under Anthem Blue Cross extends across a full spectrum of evidence‑based treatment modalities. Elite Psychology Group therapists are trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma‑informed care. Anthem Blue Cross includes all of these recognized methods within its coverage for outpatient mental health services. Sessions can be conducted in‑person at West LA clinics or via secure telehealth platforms, ensuring consistent eligibility and pricing structure, whether in virtual or physical format.
Utilizing Anthem’s Sydney Health app or website, members can now quickly identify and book available appointments in West Los Angeles, filtered by clinical focus, location, language, and availability. Those enrolled in an Anthem Employee Assistance Program (EAP) may qualify for a defined number of therapy visits at no cost at all. EAP services can help offset care costs even if individuals are not ready to use their full Anthem mental health benefit.
The expanded partnership ensures that accessing care is streamlined. No referral from a primary care physician is required for most Anthem commercial plans, including PPOs, while HMO plan holders can access care after an optional PCP referral, ensuring flexibility depending on each member’s plan type. In-network therapists also handle claims directly, so members pay only their designated copay or coinsurance—the provider deals directly with Anthem reimbursement.
Elite Psychology Group’s West LA clinics have expanded their provider hours to include weeknights and weekends, to accommodate working professionals and busy families. In addition to individual therapy for anxiety, clinicians offer group workshops on stress management, mindfulness, coping strategies, and psychoeducation. Group therapy is covered by Anthem plans when clinically indicated, and may carry lower or comparable out‑of‑pocket costs versus individual sessions.
A key driver of this expansion is Anthem’s push for integrated behavioral health, positioning mental health on equal footing with physical care and supporting clinically proven therapeutic outcomes. Anxiety therapy through Anthem Blue Cross in West LA with Elite Psychology Group provides members with access to a full continuum of care, including referral pathways to partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and medication evaluation services as needed.
This expansion takes effect immediately. Anthem Blue Cross members in West Los Angeles interested in accessing anxiety therapy services from Elite Psychology Group can visit anthem.com or the Sydney Health app to search “Elite Psychology Group” under in‑network providers. Additional information regarding EAP eligibility, telehealth access, and coverage details can be located via Anthem member resources or by calling the number on the back of their insurance card.
With this collaboration, Elite Psychology Group and Anthem Blue Cross reaffirm a shared commitment to mental health access, quality care, and reduced financial barriers. The goal: to ensure West Los Angeles community members struggling with anxiety have timely, affordable pathways to experienced therapists, empowering healthier, more resilient lives.
