- Guillaume Counseling Services, P.C. / Guillaume Marriage and Family Counseling of California, P.C.
We understand the benefit of having your insurance pay for services, especially when a client meets medical necessity with a qualifying mental health diagnosis impacting everyday functioning. We would like to give our clients the option of paying with their insurance. You must meet medical necessity for mental health services to be covered by your insurance. Mental health services consist of primarily individual therapy and, secondarily, family therapy or group therapy. Moreover, not all mental health concerns or diagnosis are covered. We will conduct an initial assessment session (60 minutes per individual), and we will inform you if you meet medical necessity to receive individual therapy, family therapy, or group therapy through your insurance. The initial assessment is usually covered by most insurance minus any copay, deductible, or co-insurance. If you do not meet medical necessity, you must pay out of pocket for continued services.
If seeking couples’ counseling, if you meet medical necessity and your insurance plan includes marital/family counseling, then services will be covered under family therapy. Please note that insurance companies do not pay for couples counseling where the focus is primarily improving the relationship, where no individual or family dysfunctions are present. If you are generally doing well and do not meet medical necessity requirements, be it for individuals, couples, or group counseling, then you must pay out of pocket under our self-improvement plan.

Benefit of self-pay: There is no requirement to meet medical necessity (having an insurance covered mental health diagnosis). Service is driven by the client and not by an insurance company, and can cover a wide range of personal growth and life issues. Clients can receive couples therapy, which is often not covered by insurance companies without needing to meet medical necessity.
Pre-marital counseling and couples counseling where the focus is just the relationship addressing issues such as communication and intimacy is not covered by insurance.
