Questions

Is couples therapy covered by insurance?

Sometimes. HealthCare.gov says every Marketplace plan must cover behavioral health treatment such as psychotherapy and counseling, but whether a plan pays for couples sessions depends on that plan's rules. Call the number on your insurance card and ask the practice whether it is in network before the first session.

How much does couples therapy cost?

Each practice sets its own fee, and session length, the clinician's license and insurance all change the price. Listings here show a fee or sliding scale only when the practice posts one. If you are uninsured or paying yourself, federal rules generally give you the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before care.

Does Medicaid cover couples therapy?

TennCare, Tennessee's Medicaid program, lists individual and family psychotherapy among its behavioral health services, based on medical necessity. Whether a couples session is covered depends on your TennCare health plan, so call the plan and ask the practice whether it accepts it.

What should we expect during the first couples therapy session?

Each counselor sets the format of a first session. Ask the practice ahead of time how long it runs, whether it is in person or telehealth, whether you meet together or separately first, and which forms to fill out.

Does couples therapy work?

Results depend on the couple, the issues and the counselor, and no directory can promise an outcome. Ask a counselor which approach they use, what training they have in it, and how you will check progress together.
