Our Philosophy
Szafran Psychology Group Couples Counseling helps partners create meaningful change through a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship. We provide a safe, affirming space where both partners feel heard, respected, and supported as they work toward shared and individual goals.
Our therapists use evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming approaches tailored to each couple’s unique strengths, communication styles, and experiences. By adapting to different ways of thinking, processing, and relating, we help couples build deeper understanding, strengthen connection, and create lasting, sustainable change together.
Understand Your Costs
Couples therapy at our practice is offered on a private pay basis, with a fee of $180 per session. We do not currently accept insurance for couples therapy services. Payment is due at the time of each session and may be made by cash or major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.

Private pay therapy is often ideal for couples cases as there are some important differences to the traditional insurance based payment system. When you elect for private pay you can expect:
No diagnosis required—you’re not labeled with a disorder
True confidentiality—no audits from insurance companies or the Federal government, no service or diagnosis codes on your record
Access to specialized care—from therapists trained specifically in couples work
Freedom in approach—The methods that best serve your relationship, not just what insurance approves
-
To use insurance for therapy, three things are required:
An identified client
A mental health diagnosis
A treatment plan that directly addresses the diagnosis—for that one client
-
In couples work, the relationship—not one partner—is the client. But insurance companies don’t recognize relationships as billable “clients.” They want to know which person has a diagnosis, and how treatment is helping that individual.
SO WHY DO SOME THERAPISTS BILL INSURANCE ANYWAY?
You may have seen a couples therapist who did bill insurance. That doesn’t necessarily mean they were doing something wrong—but it does mean they were likely using a workaround:
Diagnosing one partner and coding sessions as either “Individual Psychotherapy”, or “Family Psychotherapy, with Individual Present”. Focusing, at least in their clinical notes, on that one partner’s symptoms with the other in a “support role” Hoping the insurance company never audits the records
