How much does Loma cost?

Loma is free for clients. You pay your normal insurance copay directly to your therapist (typically $0-$35 per session in-network). There are no platform fees, membership fees, or hidden charges.

How is Loma different from Psychology Today?

Psychology Today is a directory where you search and call therapists yourself. Loma is a matching service — you submit one form, we verify your insurance, and match you with a vetted EMDR-trained therapist within 48 hours. We also offer a telehealth platform with built-in bilateral stimulation.

What if I don't like my matched therapist?

Therapeutic fit matters. If your initial match isn't the right fit, tell us and we'll re-match you with a different therapist at no additional cost. Our goal is finding you the right therapist, not just any therapist.

Is Loma available in my state?

Loma is expanding across the United States. Submit your information through our intake form and we'll let you know if we have therapists in your area. Our telehealth option also expands access for clients in areas with fewer local EMDR therapists.

Can I recommend Loma to someone I know?

Absolutely. If you know someone who could benefit from EMDR therapy, you can share our website (lomatherapy.com) or have them fill out our intake form directly. We handle everything from there.

Why Loma: verified EMDR therapists, covered by insurance

Loma is built exclusively for EMDR: every client is matched with a verified, EMDR-trained therapist confirmed in-network with their specific insurance plan. Unlike general therapy directories, Loma handles insurance verification before matching, so you know your cost upfront. Most clients are matched within 48 hours and see their therapist over secure telehealth.

The problem with finding EMDR therapy today

Finding an EMDR therapist who accepts your insurance is unreasonably difficult. Most people start with a Google search, land on a directory like Psychology Today, filter by "EMDR" and their insurance, then call 5-10 therapists — only to find most aren't accepting new patients, don't actually accept their plan, or aren't truly EMDR-trained. The average person spends 2-4 weeks just finding a therapist, and many give up entirely.

General therapy platforms like BetterHelp and Talkspace offer convenience, but they don't specialize in EMDR and most don't accept insurance. The EMDRIA directory lists certified therapists but doesn't verify insurance, doesn't handle matching, and leaves all the calling and scheduling to you.

What makes Loma different

EMDR-only platform

Loma is not a general therapy directory. Every therapist on the platform is trained in EMDR and vetted for clinical quality. We exist specifically to connect people with EMDR therapy — it's all we do.

Verified EMDR training

Every Loma therapist has completed a full, multi-day EMDR training program — the kind that includes supervised practice sessions and case consultation, not a weekend workshop. We verify that training before any therapist joins the network, so "EMDR" on Loma always means the real thing.

Insurance verified before you're matched

Other platforms list insurance panels but don't verify coverage. Loma contacts your insurer directly to confirm your EMDR therapy coverage, determine your copay, and ensure the therapist is in-network with your specific plan. No surprise bills.

Matched within 48 hours

You fill out one form. We handle the rest — insurance verification, therapist matching based on your concerns and preferences, and scheduling. Most clients are matched within 48 hours instead of the typical 2-4 weeks of calling around.

Telehealth with built-in bilateral stimulation

Loma's telehealth platform includes a built-in bilateral stimulation tool for remote EMDR sessions. No need for separate apps, buzzers, or workarounds. You get the same quality of care from home as you would in-office.

In-network with major insurance plans

Loma therapists are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Curative, Optum/UnitedHealthcare, and Sana Benefits, with more panels in progress. Typical in-network copays range from $0 to $35 per session.

Who Loma is for

You've been searching for an EMDR therapist and hitting dead ends. Most directories are outdated — therapists listed as "accepting new patients" aren't, and "accepting your insurance" means they're paneled but not necessarily in-network with your specific plan.

You want EMDR specifically, not general talk therapy. Your therapist or doctor recommended EMDR, or you've researched it yourself. You want a specialist, not a generalist who "also does EMDR."

You need insurance to cover it. EMDR is effective but not cheap out-of-pocket ($150-$300/session). Loma ensures your insurance covers it so cost doesn't become a barrier to healing.

You want the convenience of telehealth. Loma is fully virtual, so you can see a verified EMDR therapist from home — no commute, no waiting room — using our built-in bilateral stimulation platform for remote sessions.

What Loma is not

Transparency matters. Loma is not a crisis service — if you're in immediate danger, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room. Loma is not a replacement for a clinical assessment — your matched therapist will evaluate whether EMDR is the right approach for your specific situation. And Loma is not a "therapist mill" — we deliberately limit our network to EMDR-trained or EMDRIA-trained therapists to maintain quality.

Conditions our therapists treat

Plus: car accidents, birth trauma, sexual trauma, veterans, first responders, children, and more.
