Frequently Asked Questions About Couples Therapy

Got questions? We've got answers. Check out our FAQ to discover our most commonly asked questions before getting started.

When we say Couples Therapy or Couples Counseling, we are referring to therapy that focuses on the relationship between two individuals. We use the terms interchangeably, but both of them refer to the same thing. 

When two individuals are married, we refer to the therapy as Marriage Counseling or Marriage Therapy. 

Our couples therapists are trained in several modalities. One that you might be familiar with is Gottman Therapy.

Gottman Therapy, also known as the Gottman Method, is a form of couples therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It is a research-based approach focusing on improving communication between partners and strengthening the relationship.

In Gottman Therapy, there are identified key factors that contribute to successful relationships and those that can lead to relationship distress. The goal of Gottman Therapy is to help build a foundation of intimacy, trust, and understanding between partners. 

In the realm of couples and families, it is essential to note that behavioral health insurance typically covers individual therapy only when it is deemed a 'medical necessity.' This necessitates the presence of a clinical diagnosis derived from the DSM-5, with therapy serving as a form of treatment specifically aimed at addressing mental health disorders. It is crucial to highlight that services such as couples therapy, pre-marital counseling, mediation for families, family therapy, marriage coaching, and addressing communication challenges or conflicts do not fall under the category of mental health disorders and, therefore, are not covered by insurance. Utilizing insurance for such purposes constitutes insurance fraud.
