We understand that it can be hard to fit something else in when it already feels like your schedule is full. But prioritizing time for counseling can show your partner that you’re committed to improving your relationship.

We want to make sure you get the best chance to take part in therapy and improve your partnership. To do this, we give you the option of telehealth and flexible schedules, such as bi-weekly availability. That way, you don’t have to drive long distances and take time out of your already busy schedule.

It’s normal to be nervous about coming to therapy. If your partner is hesitant, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with us. Your consultation will be with the therapist you will work with and your partner can ask them to clarify anything they’re unsure about before your first appointment.We can also connect you with one of our therapists who specialize in individual counseling to give you the opportunity to work on yourself. While not as targeted as couples therapy, individual work can impact your relationship and positively affect your life.

While we understand finding childcare can be difficult, we do not recommend bringing children to sessions. Therapy is a space for you as a couple to be vulnerable and focus on your own needs and wants, which can’t happen if you need to focus on your children as well. If you don’t have any options for childcare, we ‌offer telehealth appointments. That said, we still urge you to schedule sessions during naptime or other downtime so both you and your partner are free to be open and honest.

Therapy timelines look different for everyone. Together, we can customize a plan that fits your challenges and goals. Couples tend to start more often to gain traction and make changes quickly. Then, they decrease the frequency as things start to feel better. So, some clients see us for a few sessions and feel so much better that they choose not to continue therapy. Likewise, other clients see us for several months in order to address underlying concerns, build strategies, and achieve identified goals. 

Our hope is that the relationship we establish as counselor and client will feel helpful and supportive as you reach your goals. Often, clients return to us months or years later for support when life happens and some additional support might be helpful. If we’re no longer a good fit, we aim to connect you with someone that is. We want to be an important piece of your support network. 

We are so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Our therapists will suggest strategies, offer additional resources, and recommend activities to complete between sessions. In order to achieve the best results, we recommend you actively participate in sessions together and talk with your therapist about how things are going for you and your partner.
