Our Marriage Counselors Can Help
Just like a garden, marriages take plenty of love, care, and commitment to blossom. Like a garden, if you don’t tend to them, they can become overgrown or die from neglect. The key is to take ongoing care of your relationship, like you would your garden. Our expert marriage counselors specialize in helping couples of all backgrounds get to the very core of their relationship issues, learn more about each others’ challenges and needs, and begin cultivating a stronger, healthier marriage.
We offer a non-judgmental environment where you are able to discuss things that are sensitive and may feel uncomfortable to discuss with your partner or spouse. Our marriage counselors help remove the discomfort in discussing difficult thoughts and feelings and provide the path to a breakthrough for you and your partner. Going into marriage or relationship counseling is not a sign of defeat, but rather a step that signifies the importance of your relationship.

Our practice is a “Fee-For-Service” practice which means we DO NOT accept insurance. If you have an insurance provider with behavioral health coverage, they may offer “out-of-network” coverage. If you would like to use your “out-of-network” benefits, we will provide you with a superbill (receipt) monthly that you can submit to your insurance company for “out-of-network” reimbursement.
Prior to your first session, you will fill out some general information. We will you a link to complete the form(s) prior to your first session.
During the initial appointment, we will review some of your histories and we will have an opportunity to discuss the reasons you are interested in counseling and the goals you are looking to achieve from counseling.
Together during the first few sessions we will put together a treatment plan with you.
Most patients come in for weekly appointments. As you are feeling better, you can cut back on the frequency of the sessions so you have more time to practice what you are learning.
Initial sessions are 75 minutes ongoing sessions may be 45-75 minutes or longer depending on need.
Patients who work with us report improvements in a few sessions. More difficult issues may take longer. People come to therapy for different reasons but universally people don’t initiate counseling unless they are in some type of emotional pain. Our attitude is to try to make every session count.
We welcome couples, children, adolescents, teens, and individuals of diverse backgrounds, cultures, religious traditions, and lifestyles.
We will be able to work with you using a variety of tools and techniques and specialize in a variety of issues and concerns.
All client-therapist conversations are private and confidential. In those rare exceptions when the safety of a client or other is at risk disclosure of confidential client-therapist information takes place.
