Is Family Counseling Covered by Insurance?
Strengthening Bonds with Dr. Audrey Kteily, PhD, LPC in Coppell, TX
If you’re considering family counseling, one of the first questions you might have is whether it’s covered by insurance. The good news is that in many cases, family counseling is at least partially covered by health insurance—but the specifics can depend on your provider, your policy, and the reason for therapy.
How Insurance Coverage for Family Counseling Works
Insurance companies typically cover counseling services when they are considered “medically necessary”—meaning they address a diagnosable mental health condition such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance abuse. If a licensed therapist determines that one or more family members meet these criteria, your sessions may qualify for coverage.
However, there are some important details to keep in mind:
- Therapist Credentials – Your insurance plan may require that the provider is licensed and in-network.
- Diagnosis Requirements – Some plans require a mental health diagnosis for coverage.
- Session Limits – Certain policies limit the number of covered sessions per year.
- Copays & Deductibles – Even with coverage, you may be responsible for part of the cost.
