EXPLORE COUNSELING
Find care that fits your needs.
THE PRIVATE-PAY DIFFERENCE
Care guided by your goals and clinical needs.
Private-pay counseling can give you greater choice in how to use your sessions. Together, we can consider the pace, focus, and format of care without relying on an insurer’s network, authorization, or reimbursement rules.
View pricing & optionsMore control over the work
Set goals around your actual concerns, whether they involve a clinical condition, a relationship challenge, or personal development.
No insurance claim from us
When you choose direct private pay and do not request an insurance claim, your sessions are not billed by this practice to your health plan.
Room for the right format
Discuss individual sessions, couples counseling, and structured relationship work according to fit and availability.
Private pay does not eliminate clinical records or legal limits on confidentiality. A diagnosis may still be documented when clinically appropriate. We explain privacy practices, fees, and any reimbursement paperwork before care begins.

A small moment of connection. Choose this activity only if you both feel comfortable participating.
- Settle in · 2 minutes. Put distractions aside and agree on a comfortable place to talk.
- Listen · 10 minutes. Each partner takes five minutes to share one moment they appreciated this week and one thing they would enjoy doing together. Listen, then reflect what you heard.
- Plan · 5 minutes. Pick one small shared activity and agree on a time.
- Reflect · 3 minutes. Ask, “What helped you feel heard?” Either person may pause or adapt the activity.
Notice listening, follow-through, and how the experience felt. Completing an activity does not measure relationship health or guarantee an outcome.
