Why MindView
Most therapy in Merrillville has no structure. Ours has four stages and a scoreboard.
Plenty of practices take Anthem. What you get here is one format for every client: a full intake, a written treatment plan, and standardized measures reviewed with you every month, so you can see whether it is working.
- 01
Intake
What is actually going on, rated 0 to 10 as your baseline.
- 02
Your history
Why it is happening. History, relationships, work, health.
- 03
Treatment plan
Written and collaborative, built against those causes.
- 04
Monthly review
Standardized measures, reviewed with you. You see the trend.
A license is where our training starts, not where it ends.
Every clinician is state-licensed before they see a single client. Then they train with us across every modality, and how to match one to the problem in front of them.

Anthem in Merrillville, in short
Yes, MindView Therapy takes Anthem in Merrillville: we are in-network with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Indiana's Blue plan, and we see Merrillville clients by secure video statewide. Your cost is your plan's copay or coinsurance rather than the full fee, confirmed with you before your first session.
The quick facts for Merrillville: Anthem is Indiana's Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, we are in-network with it, sessions run by secure video statewide, and booking online takes about 30 seconds.
Anthem coverage in Merrillville, answered first
The answer is yes: MindView Therapy is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, accepting new clients, and serving Merrillville by secure video anywhere in Indiana.
In-network means your cost is defined by your plan, a copay or coinsurance, sometimes after a deductible, rather than by our fee schedule. We tell you the number before your first session.
We will also tell you what we are not: local. Our Indiana practice is based in Carmel, about 140 miles away. Merrillville sessions are video sessions, by design.
Your card says Anthem because Anthem is Indiana’s Blue plan
There is one Blue Cross Blue Shield plan per state, and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is Indiana’s. So an Indiana Blues card is an Anthem card, and a search for either name from Merrillville lands in the same place: a plan we are in-network with.
Who we see in Merrillville
Merrillville is Lake County’s crossroads, the US 30 corridor of stores, clinics, and offices where much of Northwest Indiana works. Retail and healthcare scheduling is the enemy of a standing appointment, and video therapy is the workaround: the session moves with the schedule. Carmel, our office base, is 140 miles away and irrelevant to the routine.
We hear from the people who staff the corridor, nurses, retail managers, service workers, and from Winfield and Ross Township families around it. Burnout with a customer-service face, anxiety that spikes at schedule postings, and depression that grew quietly under both are the recurring stories.
What about a Blue card from another state?
Some Merrillville residents carry a Blue plan issued elsewhere, through an out-of-state employer for instance. Rules vary by plan, so we verify yours before your first session rather than assuming.
Is a video session a lesser session?
The research says no, carefully: video-delivered therapy has generally shown outcomes comparable to office-based therapy for the outpatient concerns we treat in Merrillville and everywhere else. Not superior, not a compromise, comparable.
And because averages are not you, we track your case specifically: standardized measures every month reviewed together. A flat trend is information, and the plan changes in response to it.
What will I actually pay?
Anthem plan designs run the usual range: copay, coinsurance, or a deductible that applies first. Two Anthem cards in the same Merrillville household can behave differently, which is why we read your specific plan rather than quoting a typical number.
We verify your benefits before your first session and tell you what you will owe. No statement-shock afterward.
A structure you can see from the outside
The method is not a mystery. Your first appointment is an intake where the problem gets named and rated 0 to 10. From there the work goes wider through your history, skipping anything you want skipped, and a treatment plan gets drafted with you rather than for you.
After those three sessions the rhythm is weekly, and once a month the standardized measures tell both of you whether the plan deserves to survive unchanged.
The therapist behind the practice
Every Indiana session is with the same Indiana-licensed therapist, and we work with adults (18+). We would rather be honest about having one therapist in the state than promise a roster we do not have, and one therapist with statewide licensure is exactly what makes Merrillville coverage real rather than theoretical.
What else do you take in Indiana?
Alongside Anthem, our Indiana clients use Aetna and Cigna. If your Merrillville household carries more than one of these plans, we can check which leaves you paying less per session.
The first step, minus the friction
No phone tag required: book through our secure client portal in about 30 seconds. We verify your Anthem benefits up front and tell you your exact per-session cost before your first appointment.
We are accepting new clients and respond within one business day. And if a call is the easier first move, (646) 493-4007 works too.
What Anthem covers here
- •Anthem PPO plans generally allow direct access to a behavioral health provider. Some HMO designs, such as Pathway HMO, may require a referral, which we check for you.
- •Anthem's negotiated rate applies statewide, so what you owe does not depend on which Indiana city you join your session from.
- •As an in-network practice, we bill Anthem at the negotiated rate. You owe your copay, coinsurance, or remaining deductible, never the difference.
- •Every plan is verified before the first appointment, so your Merrillville session cost is a known figure, not an estimate.
How to book with Anthem
- 1
Choose a time and book. It takes about 30 seconds.
- 2
Before your first appointment we verify the behavioral health benefit on your exact plan and tell you the cost.
- 3
Log in from Merrillville for your intake session by secure video, and we take it from there.
What does therapy here actually look like?
The first three sessions follow a clear structure, so you always know what is coming next.
- Getting started
Your first session is an intake. Your therapist asks what brought you in and about your history, and you rate the intensity of what you are feeling from 0 to 10. That becomes your baseline. You set a recurring weekly time before you leave.
- Mapping what is behind it
Your therapist walks through your life across stages, looking for the patterns and strengths behind what brought you in. You can decline any question and keep any answer short.
- Writing the plan together
You and your therapist build the plan together. Goals are tied to what you came in for, each with concrete objectives, plus one personal goal that matters to you.
- Ongoing
Weekly sessions work the plan. Once a month you and your therapist review standardized measures together to see whether it is working, and the plan is adjusted from what they show.
Therapy here is measured, not guessed
Once a month you have a measurement-based care review. You complete standardized measures, and your therapist reviews the trend with you. If something is not working, the plan changes. Regular therapy is the work. The review is the navigation system that keeps it pointed at the right target.
Sessions are weekly for the first two months to build a foundation, then frequency is reassessed with you. You set the pace, and you share only what you are comfortable sharing.

Anthem questions
Can I use Anthem for therapy in Merrillville?
Yes. We are in-network with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and Merrillville sessions are held by secure video under our clinician's Indiana license, so where you live in the state is not a limit.
Do you have an office in Merrillville?
No, and we say so plainly. Our Indiana base is in Carmel, roughly 140 miles from Merrillville, and Merrillville clients are seen by secure video, which Indiana licensure permits statewide.
Do I need a referral to use Anthem for therapy?
Usually not. Anthem PPO plans generally allow direct access to an in-network behavioral health provider. Some HMO designs, such as Pathway HMO, may require a referral from your primary care doctor, and we check that when we verify your benefits.
Does Anthem cover online therapy in Indiana?
Most Anthem plans cover virtual behavioral health visits, commonly at the same benefit level as an office visit. We confirm how your specific plan handles telehealth before your first session.
What will therapy cost me with Anthem?
Your share is the copay or coinsurance your plan sets, with any unmet deductible applying first. Because plan designs vary, we verify your specific benefits and give you the exact figure before your first session.
How soon can I be seen?
We are accepting new clients and respond within one business day. Booking online takes about 30 seconds, and the benefits check happens before your first session.
I live in Merrillville but work in Illinois. Can I still do sessions?
Yes, with one rule: you must be physically in Indiana during the session, because our clinician is licensed in Indiana. A session from home in Merrillville works; a session from an office across the state line does not, so most cross-border commuters schedule around home time.
