At San Antonio Authentic Counseling, we believe that mental health care should be accessible to everyone—regardless of income, background, or insurance plan. That’s why we’re proud to accept Superior HealthPlan, one of Texas’s most widely used Medicaid managed care providers.


Whether you’re an adult navigating trauma or depression, a parent looking for help for your child, or someone simply needing a safe space to talk, our therapists are here for you.


What Is Superior HealthPlan?


Superior HealthPlan offers managed care coverage to individuals and families who qualify for Medicaid in Texas. They provide coverage through several programs, including:


  • STAR and STAR Kids

  • STAR+PLUS

  • CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program)


If you're enrolled in any of these plans, you may be eligible for mental health counseling at no cost to you.
