Use your insurance for individual counseling

One of the values of Contigo Counseling Services is accessibility. We want to make sure that you can use your insurance benefits for individual counseling.


We currently accept: Aetna, Carelon, and Cigna.



We can provide superbills upon request, which you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Please contact your insurance provider to check your coverage and eligibility for reimbursement with an out-of-network (OON) provider.


Why don't we take insurance for relationship counseling?

Currently, insurance for mental health is designed for individual mental health treatment, not relationship work. In order to bill insurance for counseling services, a provider has to submit a diagnosis for an individual client and show that treatment provided is evidenced-based for that diagnosis. In relationship counseling, there are 2 or more clients, but insurance only allows us to bill for one identified client. We’re not treating one partner’s diagnosis, we’re helping both partners strengthen their connection and work through challenges together.


Because insurance companies don’t cover “relationship distress,” billing would require us to label one person as the identified client and assign them a diagnosis that isn’t really what we’re treating. Not only is that misleading, but it can also create tension by making one partner feel like the “problem” if they are the identified client in insurance. By staying outside the insurance model, we can focus fully on your relationship and give you the support you actually came for.
