Sidney Fowler
Hi! I’m Sidney, the office manager at Benevolent Therapy. I help new clients get started, handle insurance verification, and take care of all the behind-the-scenes work to keep things running smoothly. I also manage our office email, so if you’re a new or current client, you’ll probably hear from me about insurance updates, scheduling, or any other support you might need. I’m here to make the process as easy as possible for you—so if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Initial Contact:
When you reach out to schedule an appointment, Sidney, our warm and welcoming office manager, will review your request. If more information is needed, she’ll follow up with you quickly. Not sure which therapist is the right fit? Sidney is great at helping match you with someone who aligns with your needs and schedule.
Intake Documents:
Once you’ve been paired with a therapist, Sidney will email you a link to complete your intake documents online through our secure client portal—super simple, no printing required!
Insurance Benefits:
After your intake forms are submitted, Sidney will verify your insurance benefits and give you an estimate of your out-of-pocket cost per session after billing.

Aetna / Meritain
BlueCross BlueShield / Carelon / Anthem
Caresource
Cigna / Evernorth

Initial Appointment:
Once everything is ready, your therapist will reach out to schedule or confirm your first appointment. If you’d like, you can also request a free 15-minute consultation before your first session.
At Benevolent, we’re here to support you every step of the way. We know starting therapy with someone new can feel intimidating, and our goal is to make this process as smooth, comfortable, and welcoming as possible.
