This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt.

Relationship and Financial Stability go Hand in Hand

Let's face it, we can't get away from money, our finances and how it affects us on the daily. This is no different within relationships. It's ever presence affects our love life too, like it or not.Money plays a crucial role in relationships, influencing everything from daily decisions to long-term goals. Couples often find themselves struggling to navigate financial matters together, which can lead to tension and misunderstandings if left unaddressed. Open communication about money is vital but can be challenging, as it requires honesty, compromise, and shared financial goals. Many couples in St. Louis, Missouri, find themselves in need of guidance to overcome these hurdles.

Why I Don't Directly Work With Insurances

Let me take a second to describe why I have chosen not to join any insurance panels. At Uplift and Connect Counseling, I, Katheryn Barton, prioritize providing the best care for you and your relationship. Accepting insurance would require me to diagnose one or both of you with a mental health disorder and justify how it impacts your daily functioning. This diagnosis would become part of your permanent medical record, potentially affecting future health insurance rates or coverage. Furthermore, the insurance company, not you or I, would dictate the length and scope of your therapy. I believe in tailoring your therapy to meet your unique needs, without external restrictions.

That said, I want to make counseling as accessible as possible and can provide you with a “super-bill” to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement as an out-of-network provider. If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to ask!

I also understand that therapy is an important investment in your relationship and that financial concerns can sometimes make it feel out of reach. To ensure couples therapy is accessible to those who need it most, I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots for clients for whom my standard rate is not within their budget. These slots are designed to provide flexibility and support, making it possible for you to prioritize your relationship without unnecessary financial stress.

If you feel this option might be a good fit for your situation, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can explore what works best for you and your partner, ensuring that you receive the care and guidance you deserve. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where couples can grow, heal, and thrive—regardless of financial circumstances.
