These directories let you compare credentials, specialties, fees, and virtual-session options.
When contacting a therapist, I'd recommend asking:
One important note: couples counseling is often billed differently from individual therapy, and insurance may not cover it when the primary purpose is relationship improvement rather than treatment of a covered mental health condition.
I can narrow this down further for you. Are you mainly looking for help with communication and recurring arguments, rebuilding trust after a difficult experience, intimacy, or deciding what comes next in the relationship? That will help me identify therapists whose specialties best match your needs.
