Clinical Psychologist in Wilmington, NC

Please note: Marriage, couples, and family therapy are offered in this practice only as self-pay services. These sessions focus on relational goals and involve equal attention to all parties, rather than the treatment of one individual’s diagnosed mental health condition. As this approach does not generally meet insurance requirements for medical necessity, these services are not billed to insurance, and documentation for reimbursement (e.g., superbills) is not provided.

This policy is intended to ensure that services are delivered in a way that aligns with the clinical purpose of couples and family therapy and adheres to applicable ethical and professional standards.
