Sometimes couples feel misaligned and not on the same page about child rearing, in-laws and the spending of money. Couples in recovery who have faced addiction in the relationship can feel they are fighting a constant battle. Mental illness in a relationship can also present unique challenges for loved ones. Couples counseling NYC can help to address a range of challenging situations couples may face.

How much does couples therapy cost NYC?
Couples therapy in New York City typically ranges from $150 to $450 per session, depending on the therapist’s experience, location, and session length. However, if a therapist accepts insurance—like Avena, which takes Aetna and BlueCross BlueShield—the out-of-pocket cost can be much lower, often just a copay ($20-$50 per session) or a deductible that needs to be met before coverage applies. Some therapists also offer sliding scale fees based on financial need.
What is the success rate of couples counselling?
Studies show that 50% to 75% of couples experience meaningful improvements in their relationship after counseling. Success depends on factors like commitment to the process, the severity of issues, and the type of therapy used. Working with a therapist who accepts insurance can make it easier to commit to ongoing sessions without financial strain.
What is the average cost for couples therapy?
Nationwide, the cost of couples therapy typically falls between $100 and $250 per session. In NYC, rates are higher, but insurance coverage through Aetna or BlueCross BlueShield (accepted by Avena) can significantly reduce the cost. Some clients may only need to pay a copay or a percentage of the session fee, depending on their insurance plan.
