COUPLES THERAPY
Are you worried that your relationship is losing its spark? Do you feel like you and your partner can’t seem to get on the same page, or that you’re growing apart? Sometimes, couples hit rough patches that can feel impossible to smooth out alone. It might be one big challenge or a series of small issues that have built up over time.
When emotions run high, one or both partners can walk away from conversations feeling unheard or disappointed, leaving problems unresolved. Whether you’re feeling stuck or questioning your commitment to the relationship, couples counseling offers a safe space to address these issues and have the tough conversations you need to move forward.
What if you could stop having the same argument and have a real discussion?

Many insurance plans do not cover couples therapy unless the issue is connected to a mental illness diagnosis. The role of the therapist is NOT to diagnose one partner in order to get couple therapy services approved by insurance. As such, you should be prepared to pay out-of-pocket for couples therapy. Please contact your insurance for specific questions about your coverage.
