What is a therapy session?

A therapy session is a 45-minute private and supportive conversation with a trained therapist, where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and challenges without judgment. It’s a space to explore what’s on your mind, gain new perspectives, and develop strategies to cope with life’s difficulties.

Can You Use Insurance for Couples Therapy?
Many of our therapists do not accept insurance for couples therapy, and instead offer this service on a self-pay basis. While this may seem inconvenient at first, there are important reasons why many clients choose to pay privately for relationship-focused work.
Insurance companies do not cover relationship counseling or marital enrichment on its own because they do not consider these services medically necessary. When insurance is used for couples or family therapy, billing is submitted under the code Family/Couples Psychotherapy, which requires one member of the couple or family to be identified as the identified patient (IP) and to have a diagnosable mental health condition.

Because of this requirement, the diagnosis becomes part of that individual’s medical record. Treatment plans, progress notes, and session documentation must focus on how the relationship or family work is helping address that person’s mental health symptoms and treatment goals. In other words, the therapy is documented as treatment for the identified patient’s diagnosis, rather than as counseling focused equally on the relationship itself.

Insurance plans may also place limits on coverage, require periodic reviews of treatment, restrict the number of sessions authorized, and allow access to clinical documentation when necessary to determine medical necessity. These requirements are established by insurance companies and generally apply to any therapist who bills insurance for couples or family therapy.

By choosing to pay out of pocket, couples and families often have greater flexibility. Therapy can focus entirely on your shared goals, relationship dynamics, communication, parenting concerns, or family functioning without requiring a mental health diagnosis for one person. Many clients also appreciate the increased privacy and the ability to determine the pace and length of treatment based on their needs rather than insurance requirements.

For clients who prefer to use insurance and are comfortable with these requirements, the following Mesa Family therapists may be able to bill insurance for Family/Couples Psychotherapy, provided they are in-network with your plan:

 

  • Maryn Layton, LAMFT
  • Lauren Adkins, LAMFT
