Couples Therapy

Are you tired of arguing without resolution? Do you often feel unloved and misunderstood? Are you struggling with how to reconnect to your partner?

Trying to work through relationship issues in the privacy of your home is hard enough. The decision to seek professional help may feel even more daunting. I provide a confidential and supportive environment to help you

·       explore the ways you feel stuck in your relationship;

·       articulate your feelings and gain a deeper understanding of your partner’s, and

·       find a kinder and more objective interpretation of the ongoing conflicts.

What does couples counseling look like?  We will begin our sessions by discussing the problems, both historically and presently, that bring you to counseling at this time. We will define the goals you both seek to achieve. I will meet with each of you on an individual basis to hear more about your life, your beliefs, and perspectives. We will then come back together to start working through issues.  We will determine together the regularity of meetings, as life is generally busy with work and family obligations. I understand that. Each situation is unique.

Regarding billing for couples counseling, although I am contracted with several insurance agencies, I am unable to bill for couples counseling through insurance. To bill to an insurance agency for therapy services, a CPT code/diagnosis must be assigned to a client.  This code explains the medical necessity for treatment.  When working with a couple, mental health is not being treated, rather the relational issues are being addressed.  Often, clients are already working with an individual therapist or will be referred to during couples therapy. These services will have the capacity to address any mental health disorders on an individual basis that impact the self or the relationship. 

We all deserve to have relationships that work for us. I welcome the opportunity to help you find more clarity and connection with each other. If this sounds like a good fit for you both, please contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
