Insurance Guide & FAQs
Using insurance means your diagnosis becomes part of your permanent health record. Coverage details vary, so contact your provider directly with specific questions.
Key FAQ Highlights
Diagnosis Requirement: Insurance requires a clinical diagnosis (assessed via the DSM-5) to cover counseling.
Marriage and Family Counseling: Generally not covered because it focuses on relationships rather than a clinical mental health disorder.
Private Pay Reasons: Clients often choose self-pay to avoid permanent diagnosis records, bypass high deductibles, seek specialized or couples care, or attend longer/more frequent sessions.
