Couples Counseling

Yes, couples counseling is covered by Medicaid.

Couples counseling is often not covered by insurance. As an alternative, you can schedule an individual therapy session (covered by insurance) followed by a self-paid couples session on the same day.  

In the rare instance that insurance does cover couples therapy, it’s important to note that individual and couples sessions cannot be conducted on the same day.

Yes! Couples therapy can be highly effective, especially when both partners are willing to actively participate. It provides a safe space to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild trust. Think of it as learning a new “relationship language” together—sometimes we just need a little guidance to get fluent. The effectiveness often depends on the commitment of both partners and the therapist’s approach, so finding the right fit matters.

Most insurance plans do not cover couples or marriage counseling because it’s considered a relationship service rather than treatment for an individual’s mental health condition. However, if one partner is being treated for an individual mental health issue, some sessions may be covered when the partner is present. Many couples choose to self-pay or explore flexible spending accounts (FSAs) or health savings accounts (HSAs) to cover the cost.

Yes, online couples therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions! Many couples find it more convenient, accessible, and flexible for busy schedules. With a skilled therapist, couples can work on communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection from the comfort of their own home. It’s like having your relationship “coach” pop into your living room—without needing to worry about traffic.

Yes. Couples counseling is beneficial for anyone in a committed relationship, including dating, engaged, and long-term partners. Our therapists work with couples at all stages to strengthen communication, address relationship issues, and build healthier connections—marriage is not required to benefit.
