Q&AHave questions about Family therapy?
-
I use Structural and Strategic Family Therapy as needed for behavioral intervention along with Emotion-Focused and Narrative therapy for socio-emotional support.
-
Couples and family therapy often focuses on relationship dynamics, communication patterns, parenting challenges, and family systems rather than treating a single individual’s mental health diagnosis. Unfortunately, insurance companies generally require one person to be identified as the “patient” and require a diagnosable mental health condition in order to reimburse therapy services.
By remaining out-of-network, I’m able to work with couples and families in a way that reflects the relational nature of the work, without assigning unnecessary diagnoses or limiting treatment to what insurance will cover. This also allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and individualized care tailored to your unique goals and relationships.
-
Possibly. Some insurance plans offer out-of-network reimbursement for couples or family therapy, though coverage varies widely by provider and plan.
To explore reimbursement, you can:
Contact your insurance company and ask whether your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits and whether couples or family therapy is covered.
After payment, I can provide a superbill that includes the information insurance companies typically require for reimbursement.
You submit the superbill directly to your insurance company through their claims portal or by mail.
If approved, your insurance company may reimburse you directly for a portion of the session fee based on your out-of-network benefits.
Because insurance companies often have specific rules regarding relational therapy, I encourage clients to verify coverage details directly with their insurer before beginning treatment.
-
In most cases, yes. Insurance companies generally require a mental health diagnosis in order to reimburse therapy services, even for couples or family therapy.
This means that if you choose to submit a superbill for reimbursement, one member of the couple or family must receive a diagnosis that becomes part of their medical record. Insurance companies may also require documentation showing that therapy is medically necessary for that identified person.
