How It Works

How PAWC Helps You Find the Right Provider

Start by sharing your needs, preferred type of care, availability, and insurance. We use that information to match you with PAWC-affiliated providers. If you'd rather speak with someone first, connect with an intake coordinator, and our team will reach out to match you with a provider. PAWC is in-network with most major insurance plans, including Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Cigna, Optum, and Carelon. Kaiser members can be referred to PAWC through Kaiser.

FAQ

We offer individual, couples, family, and child and adolescent therapy, along with psychiatric evaluations and medication management.

Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is provided by therapists. They help you work through what you're facing and build coping strategies, using approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and ACT. Therapists are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication. Psychiatry is provided by psychiatrists, who are medical doctors. They evaluate your symptoms and may treat you with a combination of medication management and psychotherapy. At PAWC, psychiatrists often work alongside therapists, managing medication while the therapist provides psychotherapy.

Yes. PAWC-affiliated providers offer telehealth appointments anywhere in California, as well as in-person visits in the Bay Area.

Start with the type of care you're looking for (therapy, medication management, or both), then narrow by what matters to you, such as specialty, therapeutic approach, language, availability, and insurance. Our provider directory lets you filter by all of these. If you'd rather talk it through, connect with an intake coordinator and our team will help match you with a provider.
