Marriage and Couples Counseling
|
I ask couples to commit to an initial series of 6 sessions. As much as is
possible, these should be in consecutive or near-consecutive weeks.
The six consecutive week approach requires a commitment on the part of the couple to
timely sessions. Usually more than six sessions will eventually be necessary for a couple to
successfully address their concerns. But, by committing to the initial six sessions a couple
will be able to build a therapeutic foundation on which to continue to work on their
relationship.
Time Slots for Couples Counseling:
I set aside a number of optimal time slots for couples counseling each week (late afternoon,
early morning or noon time). This is for the purpose of accommodating couples who find it
challenging to find a time to attend therapy together.
Cost:
Six Sessions: $810.00
This represents a 10% reduction from the full price of $150 per session or $900 for six
sessions.
Payment will be received as follows:
$450.00 paid at the beginning of the first session for sessions 1, 2, and 3.
$360 paid at the beginning of the forth session for sessions 4,5, and 6.
After six sessions the couple may sign up for another six sessions and pay as above
outlined or pay the regular fee of $150 per session.
I do not accept insurance for this kind of counseling because insurance does not pay for
counseling when billed as marriage/couples counseling. Insurance will only cover couples
counseling if the counselor reports that one of the individuals suffers from a mental disorder
normally covered by insurance.
