Does Insurance Cover Marriage Counseling?

Most insurance plans do not pay benefits for marriage counseling. 

In order to use insurance benefits for couples counseling, 

at least one partner needs to meet the criteria for mental health diagnosis, such as adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, or another disorder 

that requires mental health treatment.

When we meet for the first counseling session, we can discuss whether you meet the criteria for one of the mental health disorders.

Some people have no problem with having a documented 

mental health diagnosis. 

However, others prefer to keep their relationship and 

personal growth counseling private.

I use Headway to manage everything related to insurance, so that I can place all of my focus on our work together.

I also work with clients who have insurance as an OUT-OF-NETWORK provider.
