Premarital Evaluations

We all want our marriages to go well.  We don’t get married with the idea that it’s going to fail, yet we know that many of them do.  Many couples today are seeking an in-depth consultation to help them get off to the best start possible.  We offer a comprehensive evaluation of a couple’s relationship to help them along the way.  Please call for more details.

Most insurance policies offer benefits to help with the cost of treatment.

Don and Carrie Cole participate in a number of managed care companies including:

• Cigna
• United Health Care
• Blue Cross/Blue Shield
• Value Options
• Aetna

For members of managed care networks in which we participate, fees and co-pays are determined by our contract with your insurance company and tend to be less than the full fee for service.
