insurance and sliding scale
I am an out-of-network provider and do not work with any insurance companies. For those looking to seek reimbursement from their insurance companies for individual therapy, I will provide monthly statements with all the coding and relevant details insurance companies require. I reserve space in my caseload for clients in need of low-fee and sliding scale services. Please don’t hesitate to inquire.
Why I don’t take insurance for couples therapy
Short answer: insurance is built for treating one person’s diagnosis—not a relationship. Most insurers require:
an identified individual,
a mental-health diagnosis for that person, and
proof the treatment is aimed at that diagnosis.
That model fits individual therapy. It doesn’t fit couples therapy, where we’re focused on patterns, communication, and connection—not treating one partner’s disorder. I believe that in couples work, the relationship is the client. And while there is a code for “relationship problems” (Z63.0), insurers generally don’t cover it.
Could we bill under one partner’s diagnosis? I choose not to. Doing so would mean labeling one partner the “patient” and documenting treatment as if the work primarily targets their condition. Some therapists make different calls, and I respect that. For me, that route isn’t accurate to what we’re doing together, and I believe it can create ethical and privacy concerns.
If you have questions about fees, receipts, or how this compares to individual therapy coverage, please reach out—I’m happy to clarify and help you plan!
