​

Please note for couples: Due to insurance billing code and their definitions, family therapy and couples counseling/marital therapy will be private pay only. The rates are: $180 per session. This is because insurance would require us to identify one person as the patient, diagnose them with a mental health disorder and then only document what is being done to treat that person - this is not how family/couples/marital therapy actually works. The family system or couple will be viewed as the client.
