Your communication can get better!
Did you know that one of the most common reasons why couples come into couples therapy in Broomfield, CO, Denver, CO is because they can't communicate? Fights are a normal part of every relationship. The way we repair these fights is what can either strengthen or weaken the bond that you have with your partner. Regardless of the issue, our therapists aim to help you stay engaged in a difficult conversation. A couples therapist will work to help you resolve fights, and deepen your connection with your spouse.
Couples Therapy can help you recover from an affair or rebuild trust
Affair recovery through therapy is possible when both partners are willing to try again. And, when they are courageous enough to explore the path of how they got there as a couple.
In couples therapy, your Florida couples therapist or Colorado couples therapist will help you talk about the affair. This occurs by emotionally organizing your experiences around what happened. Often partners will experience a rollercoaster of emotions during this process. So, having a therapist to help guide the partnership through that can be vital in healing. Their anger or guilt will undermine the conversation. Thus, causing them to attack or deflect. Our therapist will be helping you move through the blame and shame.
During this process, couples learn that it takes two to create and maintain a successful relationship. Indeed, sometimes life gets too busy and distracting. As a result, it can be hard to always invest in that very relationship that should be the most important to invest in. In therapy, couples can also define the meanings that they created about themselves. And, they learn about the type of impact they have on each other.
Couples Therapy Billing
Insurance covers treatment of illnesses, including mental illness like depression and anxiety. By definition, illnesses affect one person at a time. Insurance is often flexible about how a mental illness is treated, and if a family member/spouse needs to be involved and present in the treatment of the illness, they will usually cover that. In this scenario, one person is diagnosed (the “primary client”), and the treatment file reflects ongoing treatment for that person’s diagnosis, and the notes reflect that a partner was present to support that treatment. This is usually the scenario insurance companies are referring to when they say they cover couples counseling.
If the person who will serve as the “primary client” is already in individual counseling for a mental health diagnosis, then we cannot bill insurance this way, because they are already receiving individual treatment for that diagnosis.
If the problem being addressed is something like communication challenges, conflict, transitions in the relationship (which is what we typically see in couples therapy), then the above described billing situation would not apply. First, because the couple as a unit is the focus of therapy, then billing insurance as if the couples sessions are treating just one individual is inaccurate and potentially fraudulent. Second, because couples challenges like conflict in communication, infidelity, etc, are not considered a medical illness by insurance companies and are typically not covered.
*A note, very rarely, we do see some insurance carriers cover this. The way to clarify this with your insurance is to ask if your plan reimburses/covers diagnosis “Z Codes”, specifically the code Z63.0. All insurance billing must include a diagnosis, and for individuals these codes typically start with “F” (F codes include diagnoses like major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, etc.). However, there are a group of relationship related codes that start with Z (such as the example above, which is for “Relationship Distress with Spouse or Intimate Partner”), that most insurance plans exclude. It is unlikely that your insurance will cover these Z codes, but may be worth checking with your specific plan.
Unless a Z code is covered by your specific insurance policy, we do not bill insurance for couples counseling at WellMinded Counseling. Out of pocket rates for couples counseling are $170 for 80 minute sessions.
