Couples Counseling in North Carolina
Expert Couples Therapy for Every Stage of Your Relationship Journey
Our expertise in couples therapy covers all stages of relationships from premarital to empty nest and retirement. Common issues with which we have helped couples include communication, adjusting to becoming parents, rebuilding after infidelity, navigating significant decisions together, processing the dissolution of the relationship, and increasing emotional and physical intimacy. If you’re ready to work with a relationship specialist and are a resident of NC, start couples counseling in North Carolina with Acacia.
Break the Cycle of Blame: Therapy That Focuses on Mutual Understanding
One way we help couples is to be an objective third party to guide you in better communication about the issues that are preventing you from enjoying each other. Many people enter couples therapy expecting the therapist to “join forces” with their partner and continue the blame they feel at home. Our work with couples is quite the opposite and focuses on understanding each person’s point of view and coming to resolutions that work for everyone.
Is Couples Therapy Covered By Insurance?
While we accept insurance for individual therapy, our couples and family therapy work is systemic, which focuses on relationships rather than an individual diagnosis. Insurance may reimburse sessions using code 90847 (Family Therapy with patient present) only if the focus is on the mental health of one identified client, with others attending in support. Ethically and legally, we cannot document couples therapy as individual treatment, as doing so would constitute insurance fraud. We understand the limitations of this system but must adhere to ethical and contractual guidelines.
