- this therapist really does seem to be eager to help us-- she sat with us for nearly 1.5 hours, answered my email during her off time (and emailed me several times during the week) and even offered to be there for me on the phone. But I can't shake this feeling like this is a destabilizing situation.

Often, when a therapist give that extra attention, it feels caring. But it can also be a red warning flag. It could mean that the therapist lacks appropriate boundaries.

she basically emailed me back and said I'm really sorry.

Again, a little odd -- to just apologize like that . Usually they say something like "that would be good for us to talk about at the next session."
And, how is it ethical to bill for couple's therapy while in fact doing individual therapy with someone whose insurance you don't take? That's gotta come back to bite someone, somehow.
What is this therapist's training? What is her supervision? How long has she been a therapist? To me, she sounds well-meaning, but perhaps a little unskilful.
If it were me, I'd be looking around for someone else.
