What about attachment interviews or individual check-ins as part of couples or family therapy?
In the context of couples or family therapy, it is common for a therapist to schedule individual sessions (e.g., attachment interviews) with one member of the couple or family. These sessions are still part of the broader therapeutic work, not standalone individual therapy.
In these cases, the receipt will:
-
List the individual who attended the session as the client.
-
Note that the service was part of a couples or family therapy process.
Example wording:
“Attachment interview provided to John Smith as part of couples therapy with Jane Smith.”
This ensures clinical accuracy while clarifying that the therapist is still operating within the scope of a couples/family therapy framework, not offering separate individual treatment.
