| Marriage and Couples Counseling Six Sessions $595 |
Allow me to share with you why I conduct couples counseling in this
manner.
manner.
* The six consecutive week approach requires a commitment on the part of the couple
to timely sessions. Couples therapy is hard work and a good outcome is unlikely unless
the couple makes it a priority and attends consistently.
* A reasonable financial investment increases the value and thus the importance that a
couple places on this effort to improve their relationship. Both individuals need to be
on-board and committed to the process if it is to be successful.
* Insurance does not pay for counseling when billed as marriage/couples counseling.
Therefore insurance will only cover couples counseling if the counselor reports that one
of the individuals suffers from a mental disorder normally covered by insurance.

Time Slots for Couples Counseling:
I set aside a number of optimal time slots for couples counseling each week (late afternoon,
evening, 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 Details:
The price of $595 for the six sessions is more cost-effective than paying for individual
sessions ($120 per session). If after the initial evaluation session, a couple decides not to
continue, I ask that the couple pay only the regular $120 per session charge. If the couple
decides to complete the six sessions, payment will be accepted as follows:

decides to complete the six sessions, payment will be accepted as follows:
$360 at First session for sessions 1 through 3. This price represents the normal
$120 per session fee. If the couple chooses not to continue after session three,
then they will have paid the full price per session for 3 sessions.
$235 at Fourth session for sessions 4-6. This price represents the six-session
price of $595.
Additional Sessions:
If after the six sessions, a couple wishes to continue, then they have the option of embarking
upon an additional six-session series at the next available opening or scheduling single
sessions at other available times.

Scheduling:
If you request couples counseling, I will schedule you at the next available 6-week slot. One
flex week will be built into the calendar so that if you need to be absent one week, the series
can be extended by one week (any absence requires 24 hour notice to avoid being charged
for the session). If for any reason I, as counselor, need to be away for one session, I will do
my best to reschedule that session at the same or another time that works for you. If you
need to re-schedule an additional week during the series, then you may need to attend at
other available times and not necessarily at the regularly scheduled day/time. Please call
or e-mail me to set up your initial session. Click here to e-mail Dr. Mc Donald
