One of the questions we get most often is:
“Do you take insurance for marriage or couples counseling?”

The short answer is no, and we know that might sound unusual. But at Sparrow Counseling, staying private pay allows us to provide therapy that moves at your pace, not the pace of an insurance company.

It means your information stays private, your care stays flexible, and your therapist can focus on you, not on billing codes or red tape.

💛 Learn more about why we don’t accept insurance for marriage and couples counseling in Alabama, and how that choice benefits our clients.
