Many people ask if I accept insurance, and it’s a great question.

Many insurance plans do not cover couples therapy simply because a relationship is struggling.

When insurance does cover work with a couple, it is typically billed as family therapy. This means one partner must receive a mental health diagnosis and becomes the identified patient, while the relationship concerns are viewed through the lens of that diagnosis.

I don’t believe lasting change happens by identifying one person as the problem.

Sometimes couples are no longer on the same team, and it begins to feel like their partner is the problem. Your relationship isn’t you versus your partner.

I want to help you and your partner get back on the same team, working together to build the relationship you both want.

By remaining a private-pay practice, we can focus entirely on your relationship, not on assigning a diagnosis.

Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to provide clients who do not have insurance or who choose not to use their insurance with a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the anticipated cost of your care before your first appointment. The estimate is based on the information available at the time it is provided and is not a contract. Actual costs may vary depending on your treatment needs and the number of sessions you attend.

If you have questions about your Good Faith Estimate or would like to request one before scheduling, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
