A note before you book

Most insurance plans do not cover couples therapy. Relationship concerns are not classified as a diagnosable medical condition, which means most plans will not consider it medically necessary. Couples therapy at Your Choice Mental Health Therapy is typically self-pay. We will always provide a Good Faith Estimate before your first session so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises. If you have questions about cost, please reach out before booking.

Who We Work With

We work best with couples who are committed to each other and want support getting to a better place together. You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from couples therapy — in fact, the earlier you seek support, the more effective it tends to be.

Common reasons couples come to us:

  • Improving communication and connection

  • Preparing for marriage or a major life commitment

  • Navigating life transitions such as a new baby, relocation, or loss

  • Working through recurring low-level conflict

  • Rebuilding or deepening emotional and physical intimacy

  • General relationship enrichment and building a stronger foundation

We do not accept couples who are seeking therapy for legal purposes — including divorce proceedings, custody disputes, or court-ordered counseling. This is outside our scope of practice and we recommend connecting with a court appointed contact or forensic psychologist.

What to Expect

Your first session is an intake — a chance for your therapist to get to know both of you, understand what brought you in, and start mapping out a plan. Sessions are typically 50 to 60 minutes, held weekly, biweekly, monthly. Most couples work together for three to twelve months, though every journey is different.
