Questions People Ask
Should we come as a couple or individually?
Either can help. We begin with what is possible now and adjust as needed.
Can therapy fix betrayal?
It can create conditions for truth and repair. We learn what repair must include.
How long does therapy take?
Long enough to matter. We check pace and fit together.
Can I use insurance or get reimbursed later?
We'll verify your insurance benefits before your first session to determine if they cover couples therapy.
What if we miss a session?
Cancellations within 24 hours are billed in full. With advance notice, we’ll reschedule.
Do you see LGBTQ+ couples?
Always. The program is designed for all types of partnerships.
Can we do this if we’re not married or living together?
Yes. The only requirement is a genuine wish to understand what’s happening between you.
