“I cannot recommend Mohamed Sarour highly enough for couples counseling. He is incredibly knowledgeable, understanding, and supportive, creating a space where both partners feel safe and heard.
His expertise really shines in how he helps you navigate and understand complex feelings and emotions that are often hard to put into words. He played a vital role in saving our marriage by teaching us the foundational values of empathy and compassion.
Through our sessions, we learned how to resolve deep-seated problems through healthy communication rather than conflict. If you are looking for a counselor who is truly empathic and dedicated to helping couples grow together, Mohamed is the professional to see.”

“It was amazing, top-of-the-line, and nothing short of extremely effective. There's really never been any therapist out there like him. I now feel like a completely different person—a better person.”

What should a new client know about working with you?
You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. I create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are. My approach draws from psychodynamic, behavioral, and person-centered therapy to help us make sense of your patterns, relationships, and emotional responses. Together, we’ll understand how past experiences shape your present and build tools to help you navigate anxiety, conflict, and life’s challenges with more clarity and control.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process is collaborative and grounded in curiosity and trust. We start by understanding what’s bringing you in, whether it’s anxiety, relationship strain, depression, or family-of-origin issues. From there, we explore the deeper patterns beneath the surface and work toward practical changes that support healing, self-awareness, and stronger, more authentic connections.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $200 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150-220 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
I’m in network with Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and UnitedHealthcare. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide superbills to help make reimbursement easy and stress-free. Sliding scale options are available to support financial flexibility. If you have questions about coverage or cost, reach out directly. Accessible, high-quality care is always the priority.

Mohamed is a great therapist. He helped me dig deep into the ways I can navigate my relationship with family and my spouse. We talked about how to approach difficult conversations within all my relationships, something that was very new to me. I'd say since I started my sessions with Mohamed, I've been in a better place mentally. I highly recommend him!

After seeing several therapists, I found Mohammed to be a great fit for me because he understands my cultural background and age demographic. He genuinely cares about his patients, even checking in outside of sessions to see how they’re doing—a rare and thoughtful gesture. What I appreciate most about his professionalism is that he creates a comfortable environment while also challenging his patients in a way that encourages growth. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to improve their mental health.
