Yes, provided the treatment meets the "medical necessity" criteria required by insurance companies.
Insurance operates on a medical model, which requires us to designate an Identified Patient (IP)—the person holding a diagnosis that warrants clinical attention. While the IP is the person exhibiting symptoms, we understand these symptoms are often deeply connected to relationship dynamics.
We accept insurance for:
Individual Psychotherapy: Where the individual is the IP.
Conjoint Psychotherapy (Couples/Family): Where the IP’s partner or family members join sessions. These sessions are billable only when the therapeutic intervention is necessary to address relationship dynamics that are negatively impacting the IP’s diagnosis and recovery.

Working from a systemic perspective means looking beyond individual symptoms to understand how relationships, family dynamics, roles, and environments shape emotional experiences. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with you?” we ask, “What’s happening within the system, and how can it change?” This approach often fosters deeper and more lasting change.

Our clinicians are integrative therapists, meaning we tailor psychotherapy to the unique needs of each individual, couple, or family—not the other way around. Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, we draw from multiple evidence-based modalities, integrating techniques based on your goals, personal history, nervous system, relationships, and stage of life.
Our therapists are trained in, and may incorporate, a range of therapeutic approaches, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Somatic Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts Work
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy
Systems-Informed and Relational Therapy
Experiential Therapy
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety
Play Therapy and Filial Therapy
Structural Family Therapy (SFT)
Bowenian Family Therapy
Treatment is collaborative, personalized, and grounded in a systemic and relational lens, with care tailored to your specific goals, symptoms, and relationship dynamics.

Standard sessions are typically 53 minutes long. Longer sessions may be recommended for couple or family therapy when clinically indicated.
-
Most patients begin with weekly sessions. Session frequency is regularly assessed and may shift over time based on your progress, goals, and clinical recommendations. We tailor frequency of therapy to best suport your needs throughout your treatment.

Absolutely! Marriage and family therapists (MFTs) see individuals as well as couples and families. Even in individual therapy, MFTs use a systemic lens—considering how relationships, family dynamics, and social environments impact your emotional well-being. This approach helps you gain deeper insight and develop effective strategies for lasting change.
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” This means that when one person changes, the whole relationship system is forced to reorganize itself and change.

No. Couple therapy can be helpful at any stage. Couple therapy is helpful for those who are newly committed, those in longstanding commitments, and even those who are at a crossroads. Whether you want to learn new skills, navigating conflict, feeling disconnected, recovering from a rupture, or wanting to strengthen your relationship and emotional intimacy before problems escalate, we are here to help you change the patterns that are no longer serving you.
-
This is very common. Therapy can still be effective when partners have different levels of readiness. Our role is to ensure each person feels heard, respected, and supported, and to help assess whether couple therapy is appropriate or if individual work or a different approach may be recommended.

Yes and no. We offer both in-person and telehealth sessions, provided you are physically in New Hampshire and have a private space for your session.
For minors and family therapy, we require in-person sessions. Working in person allows us to observe important nonverbal cues, relational patterns, and emotional responses, which are essential for safety, effectiveness, and developmental appropriateness. Family therapy involves complex dynamics that are best addressed face-to-face to ensure a secure and productive environment for everyone.

No. We are not a crisis service, and we do not have on-call therapists. If you are experiencing an emergency or are at risk of harm, please go to your local emergency department, call 911, or contact a crisis hotline immediately (988).
