Couples Therapy in Madison, WI
Couple’s therapy sessions are tailored to your unique situation and goals.
We love helping partners to grow closer together. Research informed approaches and tools are used during couple’s sessions to help you understand the areas where you are getting stuck.
We will help you understand each other’s emotional needs that might be influencing the patterns that are creating conflict or disconnection.
We often try out different strategies and work through areas of tension experientially during sessions, allowing you to leave the appointment with practical ideas and strategies to improve your relationship.
“Being the ‘best you can be’ is really only possible when you are deeply connected to another. Splendid isolation is for planets, not people.”
— Sue Johnson
Insurance and Couples Sessions
Most insurance providers do not offer coverage for couple’s therapy, even if Kind Therapy is in your insurance network.
While we always want to support the use of insurance benefits, we do not bill insurance for couple’s therapy, as it is not considered a “medical necessity” by insurance. To bill insurance for couple’s therapy, we need to diagnose one partner with a mental health diagnosis and all sessions and documentation must be focused on treatment of that partner’s mental health needs. This can interfere with our ability to effectively work with partners relationally, and it can skew the treatment towards one individual’s concerns rather than the relational dynamic between the couple.
Therefore, most couple sessions are an out-of-pocket expense. Health savings account and flex spending plan dollars can often be used for these appointments, if you have this benefit available to you.
