Frequently Asked Questions
-
Couples counseling focuses on the relationship dynamic and patterns between partners, not just individual issues. We look at how your nervous systems interact, how trauma shows up in your partnership, and how to create safety together. Both partners participate actively in sessions.
-
Ideally, yes. The most effective couples work happens when both partners are committed to healing the relationship. However, if one partner is hesitant, we can start with a consultation to address concerns and see if it's a good fit.
-
That's common, especially in neurodivergent partnerships. Part of our work together is helping you understand and bridge those differences. I specialize in creating communication strategies that work for different neurotypes and processing styles.
-
No. This is a screening, not a diagnostic assessment. Think of it as an informed exploration of whether your experiences align with ADHD or autism traits. If a formal diagnosis would be beneficial, I'll provide referrals to professionals who conduct comprehensive diagnostic assessments.
-
Formal diagnostic assessments can be expensive (often $2,000-$5,000) and time-intensive. A screening helps you understand if pursuing that investment makes sense for you. Many people find the screening provides the clarity and validation they need without requiring formal diagnosis.
-
You'll receive immediate verbal feedback during our session and a brief written report. If formal diagnosis is recommended, I'll provide referrals to qualified professionals. If diagnosis isn't necessary but you want support navigating your neurodivergence, we can discuss individual therapy options.
-
I currently accept Aetna insurance. Some insurance plans cover couples counseling, while others don't. It's best to check with your insurance provider about couples therapy benefits. I can provide information you'll need when contacting them.
-
This varies widely. Some couples see improvement in 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work. During your consultation, we'll discuss your specific situation and realistic timelines based on what you're working through.
-
That's okay. Couples counseling can help you make that decision from a place of clarity rather than reactivity. Whether you're working toward staying together or separating respectfully, therapy provides space to understand your relationship patterns and make conscious choices.
-
Yes. The screening can be conducted via secure video session, making it accessible regardless of your location in North Carolina, South Carolina, or Pennsylvania.
