Private pay only. Insurance is not billed, no diagnosis is assigned for billing, and nothing about your care is submitted to an insurer.
Getting on the right path matters. If you still have questions before starting, schedule a brief Q&A call — 20 minutes to ask whatever you need to ask before you decide.

Have Questions?
Why choose private pay?
There are real benefits to using your health insurance — and real trade-offs. Insurance requires a billable diagnosis, creates a claims record, and produces an electronic trail you don't control. Health data breaches have affected millions of people, including the 2024 Change Healthcare breach. At Deep Heart's Core, no diagnosis is assigned for billing and nothing about your care is submitted to an insurer. Knowing the trade-offs lets you make an informed choice about your care.
Couples Focused Blocks
A focused block is concentrated time for you to build your relationship and find ways to reconnect and appreciate one another. This block includes a 30-minute planning session, two 90-minute sessions, and a follow-up session to review and reflect upon the experience you had together. This is dedicated time to your relationship and it would be important to think about the entire week so you can schedule time off work, find someone to help out with the kids or other family, or other time you may need to schedule.

Counseling & Therapy for Life’s Complexities
How can I help?
Amy L. Gould provides in-person counseling in Beachwood, Ohio, and online counseling for clients in Ohio, Georgia, Indiana, and Florida.
Deep Heart's Core works outside the insurance system entirely. No claims are submitted, no diagnosis is reported to a third party, and no utilization reviewer decides how long your care lasts or whether it continues. Your records aren't routed through insurance clearinghouses or overseas processing centers — they stay here, with me. A different approach to your care, and a different level of privacy.

Couples & Relationship Counseling
Private-pay couples and relationship counseling for partners who want to change what keeps happening between them. Most couples arrive knowing the fight by heart. They can predict where it starts and how it ends, and they still cannot stop it. We can work on changing these recurring patterns with close attention to the feelings that are driving the argument in the first place. Connecting to these feelings in mutual recognition, something akin to the first time your eyes met, can break the pattern's hold. And then you are free to build something better.

You Built the Practice. Who do you talk to?
Your own confidential space. Building a private practice is a big undertaking, and most of it happens alone. Your best ideas and insights need privacy while you shape and growth them, and you also need a place to think out loud and gain clarity. This is not therapy, not case consultation, just a confidential place to explore your ideas and express your raw feelings as you develop, personally and professionally.
Early-career rate. 20% off for practitioners in their first three years of private practice, and it stays with you once you qualify.

A Values-Based Approach
Whether you are seeking help for your relationship or marriage, or coming on your own, certain values shape how you live and how you navigate your relationships. Some people are alone and struggle to form connections. Others want to strengthen the relationships they already have. In either case, there are values I will encourage: respect, boundaries, honesty, safety and well-being, personal autonomy and freedom, nurturing growth and development, dignity, acceptance, and kind communication.
If you have a faith orientation, whether Christian, Jewish, or another tradition, and want those values to be part of how you make decisions, raise your children, and strengthen your relationships, I am glad to work with you in keeping faith at the center of your life.
