Pricing:

Couples therapy is not typically covered by insurance so I am considered an “out-of-network” provider. However, I do offer my clients super bills to submit to their insurance companies for reimbursement.

To determine if your insurance will cover therapy sessions, you can either look up the information in your insurance benefits manual, look online, or call the company directly to ask. You want to ask whether your policy covers outpatient therapy.

It’s important to note that if you have an HMO plan, you’ll only be covered for in-network therapists. If you have a PPO policy, out-of-network therapists will be covered, but at a lower rate. If your policy does cover outpatient therapy, ask for a claim form or print one yourself from their website.

If my rate is not a fit for your budget, please ask about my sliding scale options. To apply for one of my sliding scale spots email me natalie@cardinalpointtherapy.com

50 min couples/individual therapy session: $190

What to expect:

I utilize Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy with all of my couples. Learn more about EFCT here.

1st Session: This session will feel like an introduction session for us to begin to understand why we are seeking therapy.

2nd Sessions: I will meet with both of you individually to learn about your upbringing, past relationships and struggles in your current relationship.

Ongoing Sessions: I always suggest we start off meeting weekly so that we can “stop the bleeding.” Once we have a good understanding of our pain cycle then I will help guide us towards coming in every other week. After we have a strong understanding of our pain cycle and have repaired our injuries we can move to only meeting once a month. This will always feel like a collaborative decision between us.

How long should you plan to be in therapy?:

I am very transparent with my couples that the goal is to get to the place where you can fire me. How long that takes depends on a few factors.

  1. How many injuries do we need to repair?

  2. How often are you able to come in for therapy?

We must address the injuries first. Once the injuries have been repaired, then we can work towards deepen your connection. Typically 8-22 sessions is sufficient.
