What does high-profile couples counseling cost?

Couples sessions are $325, private pay. I do not bill insurance, so no insurer reviews your sessions and no diagnosis goes on either partner's insurance record. Superbills are available on request if you choose to submit to your own plan. The first step, a free consult, costs nothing.

How do you protect our privacy?

I hold couples work with strict confidentiality, within the legal limits I explain at the start. I do not confirm or deny to anyone that you are clients, I keep records minimal, and I never use client stories as examples. There are no testimonials on this site by design. Sessions are by secure video, so there is no waiting room and no one sees you arrive anywhere.

Can we join from different places?

Yes. Many couples sit together at one screen, and others join from two devices when one partner travels or you live apart part of the week. The one requirement is that both of you are physically in California at the time of the session.

One of us is far more public than the other. Does that matter?

It often matters a great deal, and it is welcome in the room. Public attention changes the balance of a marriage: whose schedule wins, whose reputation is protected, who gets to be ordinary. I do not take sides. My loyalty is to the relationship and to each of you as people.

Private Pay Marriage Counseling for High-Profile Couples

When one or both of you is well known, ordinary couples counseling carries real risk: a waiting room, an insurance claim, a therapist who is curious about the wrong things. I am Laurie Moore, LMFT, PhD, and I offer private pay marriage counseling by secure video across California, with complete discretion. Private pay means your care stays private. No insurance company reviews your sessions, and no diagnosis goes on an insurance record.

Telehealth only, by secure video or audio, for people physically located in California. Laurie, LMFT.

Discretion first, then the work

High-profile couples carry the usual weight of a long marriage, plus a few things most couples never face: a public version of the relationship, staff and colleagues who see more than they should, and the worry that asking for help could become a story.

In our sessions the public version stays outside. We look at the pattern between you: the argument that keeps returning in new clothes, the distance that grew while both of you were busy, the hurt that never quite healed. I work with how you meet each other, not with who is right.

I am aiming for more ease, warmth and real partnership, and for more peace, joy, purpose and fulfillment in how you live together. If faith is part of your marriage, it is welcome here, in your own words.

Two people, one pattern between them, and nobody else in the room.

What couples often bring

Public pressure on a private bond

Schedules, travel and attention that leave little time to be two ordinary people.

Trust after a rupture

Rebuilding after a betrayal or a breach, at a pace both of you can manage.

Living like colleagues

Running a household or a business well together while the closeness has gone quiet.

Big transitions

A career peak or exit, children leaving, a move, or a loss that has changed you both.

How we would work

We start with a free 20-minute consult, ideally with both of you on the call. You tell me what is happening and what you hope for, and I tell you honestly whether I am the right fit.

Couples sessions are $325, private pay, usually weekly at first, by secure video. I draw on Internal Family Systems, AEDP, somatic and mindfulness work, and my own Positive Re-Narrative and Repatterning. I ask for 72 hours' notice to reschedule without paying in full.
