How Long will Treatment Last?

What About Insurance?
The length of treatment can vary depending on individual
cases. Research shows that the systems approach 
is highly effective, tends to be short term (8-15 sessions) although it can last longer.  Clients report a high degree of satisfaction (98%) with Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). EMDR treatment  (depending on the extent of negative experiences and Trauma can be resolve many problems with as few as 5 sessions.
Due to so many recent changes in the insurance industry, you must specifically ask your insurance provider if you have “mental health” benefits. If you have a PPO, ask them if Karen Barry, M.F.T, LMFT is “in network”.  If not, you should ask if you have “out-of-network” coverage.

Couples counseling is not a covered benefit since relationship issues are not medical problems.  If one person in the couple already has a mental health diagnosis it's possible to use your medical insurance if you have mental health benefits.
"I began seeing Karen when I was facing extreme challenges.  Karen's comforting yet analytical approach helped me change my life.  She helped me find the courage inside of me that I needed to lean into my fears.  I'm happier, more content and more optimistic than I can remember.  I couldn't have done it without her...she is my angel."
