People often ask if we accept health insurance for payment. We do not and here is why: We do not consider relationship issues and problems mental disorders. Health Insurance will not pay for couples counseling unless your therapist diagnoses you or your spouse with a mental disorder.
If you see a marriage counselor who takes your insurance, you can be certain that you or your partner (sometimes both!) have been diagnosed with a mental disorder. This can stay on your record for years to come and may prevent you from obtaining a job or qualifying for other types of insurance. Also, if you really do not have a mental disorder, but it's been diagnosed just to collect insurance, your insurance company may challenge the diagnosis leaving you responsible for the bill. It's just not worth the risk.
Also, because we are committed to getting positive results, we also offer Unlimited Follow-Up Appointments for three full months. A dollar-benefit analysis reveals that you are much better off letting us assist you. For most people, their marriage or long-term relationship is the most important relationship they have.
