Scheduling Your Couples Therapy
At Thive Sex Therapy Institute, we understand that navigating insurance can be tricky. We've outlined the steps below:
Verify Your Insurance Coverage
Before scheduling your appointment with Thive Sex Therapy Institute, we recommend that you contact your insurance company to confirm whether your policy covers the 90847 service. This step ensures that you can make the most of your therapy sessions without any unexpected costs.
Is 90847 Covered?
Reach out to your insurance provider and ask if they cover the 90847 service. Knowing your coverage will help you plan your therapy journey effectively.

Couples Therapy: How Scheduling Begins
Before beginning couples therapy, each partner is scheduled for an individual assessment session. These initial meetings are an important part of providing ethical, effective, and trauma-informed care.
Why individual assessments?
Meeting with each partner separately allows the therapist to:
- Understand each person’s goals, concerns, and relationship history
- Screen for safety issues (such as past or current trauma, coercive dynamics, or high-conflict patterns)
- Determine whether couples therapy is clinically appropriate at this time
- Clarify how best to structure treatment moving forward
This process helps ensure that couples work is safe, productive, and aligned with everyone’s needs.
What to expect
- Each partner will attend one individual assessment session
- These sessions are focused on understanding you as an individual, not on problem-solving the relationship
- After both assessments are complete, recommendations will be made for next steps
Possible outcomes may include:
- Proceeding with couples therapy together
- Beginning with individual therapy for one or both partners
- A combination of individual and couples work
- Referral to additional or alternative supports if needed
Ongoing couples sessions, when appropriate, are scheduled jointly after the assessment process is complete
