Every relationship and marriage deserves support.
You want to connect on a deeper level.
You love each other, but lately, it's harder to feel close.
Maybe you argue too much, barely talk at all, or avoid the hard stuff to keep the peace.
You want to feel like a team again, but you keep missing each other.
It's common to feel:
-
unheard or misunderstood
-
rejected or shut out
-
disconnected or alone
-
stuck in old, painful patterns
-
unsure how to fix what’s going wrong
You’re tired of feeling distant.
Struggling is normal. Staying stuck isn’t.
Relationships are complex. Therapy can help make sense of yours.
Many couples experience times of stress, disconnection, or conflict.
It doesn’t mean your relationship is broken. It means you're both human.
Relationship strain can surface during transitions in parenting, grief, trauma, work stress, or even the everyday chaos of responsibilities.
Couples therapy is a space where both partners can slow things down and explore their patterns together.
It’s okay to seek support when you're feeling:
-
overwhelmed by constant miscommunication
-
misunderstood or emotionally distant
-
uncertain about how to reconnect
-
impacted by betrayal, mistrust, or past trauma
-
stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change
Even strong relationships benefit from support.
Couples therapy can help you navigate these challenges and find your way back to each other.

What if we argue during therapy?
That’s completely normal. Therapy is a space where we explore your dynamic together, safely and without judgment. Your therapist will help slow things down and make it safe to stay engaged.
Can couples therapy work if one of us is unsure about staying together?
Yes. Therapy can help clarify what each of you wants and needs, and whether the relationship can meet those needs moving forward.
Do we have to come in together?
It’s ideal, but not always necessary. If your partner isn’t ready, individual therapy can still support you in understanding your relationship patterns.
Is couples therapy confidential?
What happens in therapy stays in therapy! Your therapist is bound by strict confidentiality laws unless they’re legally obliged to share information. However, your therapist is not a secret-keeper. If one partner discloses something in private to the therapist, the therapist will work with that partner to share it in therapy.
What if my partner doesn’t want to go to therapy?
That’s normal! 25% of partners aren't open to couples therapy yet. Maybe your partner already had a bad experience in individual or couples therapy. Maybe they’ve heard bad things, or are nervous. Be patient, get curious, invite, and in the meantime, go to therapy on your own.
Is couples therapy only for married couples?
No! Couples therapy is for friends, dating, cohabitating, married, separated, or divorced and co-parenting partners. Couples therapy is for anyone who wants to improve their relationships.
Do therapists meet with partners individually and together?
Some therapists have an intake process that includes a joint and individual sessions. Sometimes one partner needs more support, and they can have individual sessions with the couples therapist or with a different individual therapist, depending on the couple therapist’s approach and the couple's preference.
Will we have homework in couples therapy?
Whether you attend weekly or biweekly, the time you spend in therapy weekly will likely give you something to reflect on or practice between sessions. If you would like specific homework, you can ask your therapist for tasks to engage in during the week.
Does insurance cover couples therapy?
Most private insurers cover couples therapy under health services. Some employment insurance coverage however, limits therapy to individual therapy, or has separate coverage for couples or family therapy. You can check with your insurance provider to find out or learn more here.
How much does couples therapy cost?
Our fees vary depending on the type of therapist you see. For our most up-to-date rates and sliding scale options, please visit our Fees & Payment Policies page. If you have any questions or need help figuring out coverage, please contact us, we're happy to help.
