Book a SessionYes, 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.

One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist so finding the best fit is an important first step!
I am a dedicated counselor who draws from research on the profound impact of social connectedness on emotional well-being.
I believe therapy should feel like a safe space to land—a place where you can show up exactly as you are and feel seen, heard, and supported.

"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss, his wise words sum up my approach to working with any client, from preschool age to midlife.
I love empowering clients to take control of their lives. We may share similar experiences, but only you truly know what it’s like to be you!
Congratulations on taking the first step toward improving your mental health! As a therapist, it is important to me that you feel comfortable in a therapeutic relationship and that you feel heard!
