Questions people ask
- What is couples therapy?
- Couples therapy is structured work with a licensed clinician to change recurring relational patterns, improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection.
- How long are couples therapy sessions?
- Couples sessions are typically 55 minutes, though some couples choose longer sessions when available.
- How many couples therapy sessions are typical?
- Many couples work for roughly 8 to 20 sessions depending on goals and complexity, with progress reviewed along the way.
- What if my partner is hesitant about therapy?
- That is common. Many couples start with one partner more certain than the other, and the first sessions focus on making the process feel useful and fair to both people.
- Does insurance cover couples therapy?
- Generally no, because couples therapy is not billed as treatment for an individual diagnosis. Current rates are listed on the Rates & Insurance page.
- Do you offer premarital counseling?
- Yes. Premarital work focuses on expectations, communication, finances, family boundaries, intimacy, and how you will handle conflict as a couple.
- Can couples therapy help after infidelity?
- Yes. Work after betrayal focuses on stabilization, honest accounting, understanding what made the relationship vulnerable, and deciding together whether and how to rebuild trust.
- Will the therapist take sides?
- No. The clinician's role is not to choose a winner but to help both partners see the pattern they are caught in and take responsibility for their part.
- Is couples therapy available online?
- Yes. Sessions are virtual, and both partners must be physically located in Texas, Colorado, or Missouri during the session.
- Can we attend couples therapy from two different locations?
- Yes, as long as both partners are in a state where the clinician is licensed and each has a private space.
- Does couples therapy work if we are considering separation?
- Yes. Therapy can help you make a clear, informed decision, and discernment-focused work is appropriate when partners are unsure.
- Can we do couples therapy if one of us is also in individual therapy?
- Yes. Individual and couples work can run in parallel, usually with different clinicians and clear boundaries between them.
- What issues does couples therapy address?
- Communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, trust and betrayal, emotional and physical intimacy, mismatched desire, parenting, in-law and work boundaries, caregiving, and life transitions.
- How soon should we start couples therapy?
- Sooner is better. Couples who come in before resentment becomes entrenched typically make faster progress, but long-standing patterns can still change.
- How do we book couples therapy?
- Start on the Start Here page or call the office. We match you with a clinician who works with couples and schedule a first session for both partners.
