Couples who have reached the point of a repeated conflict cycle and unhappy couples who are on the brink of a breakup are common therapy cases for us. If you are looking for tools to work through relationship problems therapy can provide hands-on resources.

Typically, clients start individual therapy when they notice that a problem interfering with their emotional or physical well being. Therapists provide a safe space for clients to explore what is bothering them and provide some ideas about ways to feel better. Some clients want to address problems caused by unresolved trauma and some want to discuss how they can take better care of themselves.

Therapy sessions are scheduled in intervals of 50-60 minutes. Some couples prefer 90 minute sessions, which can be accommodated.

We suggest that new clients attend sessions weekly at the start of treatment, then once you have started to build momentum with your therapist you can start to space sessions to biweekly, and possibly monthly before terminating. A minimum of 10 sessions is suggested depending on your treatment goals, but many clients decide to continue treatment for longer periods of time.

We have accepted insurance in the past but found it to be out of alignment with treatment of our clients. Insurance policies only cover services that are deemed medically necessary for as long as they consider it medically necessary. Our practice focuses on treating couples and trauma- which have courses of treatment that can be long term. In order for the therapist and client to be in charge of the course of treatment and type of treatment, we operate outside of insurance panels. Insurance companies require clients to be diagnosed with a mental health disorder and this can also be problematic for treatment because we believe that every client does not need a clinical diagnosis, especially with couples therapy.
