Does TRICARE cover therapy?
Yes — TRICARE covers outpatient mental health therapy including individual psychotherapy, family therapy, and evidence-based treatments like CBT and EMDR. As an in-network TRICARE provider, Crown Counseling offers lower out-of-pocket costs for active-duty service members, veterans, retirees, and their families. Most TRICARE plans cover both in-person therapy at our Brooklyn office and telehealth sessions across New York State.
