As a Therapist I am not going to listen and say "uh huh", "uh-huh", and then "I'll see you next week".

Therapy is a partnership with my clients. Together we can determine and accomplish your goals - with or without the cooperation of those around you.

*** People ask and re-ask and call their insurance and ask about "marriage" or "couples" therapy. Your insurance will say you aren't covered. YOU ARE COVERED. Using the term "marriage" - which is an event and relationship that isn't an insurance billable medical situation. The people at your insurance company answering the phone are not billing experts and are reading from a screen. If you have any distress caused by any relationship or situation you ARE COVERED. Your distress qualifies you to have your therapy billed to insurance.

You can have anyone I agree to - your partner, spouse etc... attend your sessions.

Please - just ask the insurance what your copay and deductible for counseling - that is all - do not elaborate about the situation. I am a billing expert in the mental health field. If you want even more information, look on my insurance tab.

If you are seeking couples therapy I typically see the couple and also do any individual therapy work they want in addition to the couples sessions simultaneously.

You DO NOT have to have individual therapy before you have couples therapy. YOU WILL FIGURE THINGS OUT TOGETHER QUICKER for you as a couple AND as individuals through couples therapy faster. When you have individual therapy and your couple’s relationship is in distress - the therapist may assist with going against the relationship instead of assisting strengthen the relationship.
