A message from our owner about couples therapy

“What happens in a marriage once you do counseling, the truth comes out. When the truth comes out and people have to say who they are and what they think, you get to know who they are. And you sit across from your wife and you’ve said all of your truth and she has said all of her truth. You look at each other and you can’t imagine you could ever possibly love each other again now the truth is out. It creates a dark moment. But for me it’s the dark before the dawn. When the truth comes out and people have to say who they are and what they think, you get to know who they are. I think that’s the cleansing before you get to the other side that is understanding and moving forward in our relationship.”

— Will Smith on couples therapy

FAQ’s about COUPLES THERAPY

  • This is common! There is still work that we can do to help you with your side of the relationship. Often time, the partner needs to see that therapy "works" before committing. We can still help you with your part of the relationship until your partner is ready

  • Couples therapy is not a diagnosis that we can submit to your insurance company. Sometimes there are concurrent mental health struggles going such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, etc that we work on, while also dong couples therapy, and insurance will cover that. If after assessment there isn't a diagnosis for us to ethically submit, we will let you know and discuss the payment options moving forward.

  • Therapy is no guarantee that your relationship can be saved. However, if two partners are willing to put in the work, take a good look at themselves, are humble and will practice what we talk about in therapy, things can improve!

  • Yes you can! Often times, we structure our couples sessions the following way:

    session 1: intake as a couple

    session 2: individual session with partner 1

    session 3: individual session with partner 2

    session 4: back together again.

    This helps get a more thorough history of your life and relationship, which helps us create goals and a treatment plan keeping both you and your partner in mind.

    Please keep in mind during your individual session with your couples therapist, your therapist will not keep a secret from your spouse. You will receive more info about this in your intake paperwork

  • In couples therapy, we will do what your relationship needs to improve. This often looks like going over your relationship history, talking about what you want to improve, and most importantly learning how to validate and listen to one another. If your relationship needs more specific support, your therapist will help you!

  • Absolutely not! If you want someone to just listen, you can talk to your friends. Our couples therapists are trained to listen to what you and your partner are saying, and decipher where to go from there. So while at first it may look that way, your therapist is assessing and watching and listening to what you say and how you say it, to help give you feedback and guidance and support
