Why Couples Counseling Is Typically Private Pay
Couples therapy, including marriage counseling, is designed to focus on the relationship itself, not on diagnosing or treating one individual, which is how insurance determines coverage. Because of this, most insurance plans do not cover relationship-focused therapy.
This work also benefits from time and flexibility. I offer 75-minute sessions so both partners can feel heard, emotions have space to settle, and real patterns—not just surface issues—can be explored and shifted. Insurance-driven limits on session length and documentation often don’t allow the depth or pacing that couples work truly requires.
Offering couples counseling as a private-pay service allows the therapy to be guided by what actually helps relationships heal and grow, rather than by insurance requirements. This freedom supports deeper conversations, more meaningful skill-building, and outcomes that are better aligned with the realities of couples work.
Note: In some cases, insurance may apply when one partner has a qualifying mental health diagnosis and treatment is focused on that individual, with the partner participating as part of the therapeutic process.
