Session Fees

Couples counseling is not billable to insurance, and is only offered as private pay. Our private pay rate for couples sessions is $170 per visit, charged to the payment method on file following each session with your counselor.

Payments

We accept cash, check and all major credit cards as forms of payment. You can update your payment information at any time by logging into your TherapyAppointment portal.

We have established a sliding scaling for session fees so that those in need are able to be provided counseling. Please do not let finances stand in your way of receiving services. Let our office staff know and we'll be happy to chat with you about an adjusted session fee!

Can we use insurance for couples counseling?

No, our practice does not accept insurance for couples sessions. Couples counseling is only private pay for a number of factors:

1. Billing insurance requires that there is an identified client who qualifies for a mental health diagnosis. In the case of couples therapy, billing insurance would necessitate one partner meeting criteria for a diagnosis and the focus of therapy would be that partner's diagnosis and affiliated needs with the second partner participating to help support the diagnosed partner's coping and recovery. 

2. In addition, there are a number of legal protections that are offered to the individual with the diagnosis which are not equally extended to the other participating partner.

3. Gottman Method Couples Therapy is focused on needs such as increasing closeness and friendship behaviors, addressing conflict productively and building a life of shared meaning together. There is no diagnosing of either partner.
