Do both partners need to attend every session?

Most sessions are attended by both partners together. During the assessment phase, brief individual sessions with each partner may also be scheduled to better understand their personal history and experience of the relationship.

What if my partner is reluctant to come to therapy?

This is very common. EFT is not about assigning blame. It is about understanding each other better. Scheduling an initial session together allows your partner to ask questions and feel comfortable before committing.

Does insurance cover couples therapy?

Couples therapy is typically not covered by insurance. Sessions are $135 and are private pay. Upon request, a Superbill can be provided for potential out-of-network reimbursement. A Good Faith Estimate will be provided before services begin, in accordance with the No Surprises Act.

Why This Works

We use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the gold standard for couples, because 70% of couples move from distress to recovery. This isn't just venting about your week; it's a proven path back to each other.

Attachment-Based

EFT is grounded in attachment theory, the science of how humans form emotional bonds. We explore how early attachment patterns shape the way you and your partner connect or disconnect today.

Breaks Negative Cycles

Most couples get stuck in the same argument on repeat. EFT helps you both identify and step out of those cycles, replacing them with responses that bring you closer instead of further apart.

Research-Validated Results

EFT is backed by decades of clinical research. It's one of the few couples therapy approaches proven to produce lasting change rather than short-term improvement.

Common Issues Addressed in Couples Therapy

Communication Breakdowns

Difficulty expressing needs, feeling unheard, or conversations that escalate into arguments.

Emotional Distance & Disconnection

Feeling like roommates rather than partners, or a sense of drifting apart over time.

Recurring Conflicts

The same fights happening again and again, with no resolution in sight.

Trust & Betrayal

Rebuilding after infidelity, broken promises, or other trust-damaging events.

Life Transitions

Navigating parenthood, blended families, career changes, grief, or retirement as a couple.

Intimacy & Connection

Restoring emotional and physical closeness that has faded or become strained.

Anxiety or Depression Impacting the Relationship

When one or both partners' mental health challenges are affecting the couple dynamic.

What to Expect in Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is a collaborative journey. Here's how the process typically unfolds:

Assessment Sessions

The first few sessions include meeting together and individually to gain a full picture of the relationship history and each partner's experience.

Active Therapy

Working through the EFT stages by identifying negative cycles, accessing underlying emotions, and building new patterns of connection.

Consolidation

Integrating the changes into daily relationship life and preparing you with tools to maintain your connection long after therapy ends.

Yes. Many couples come into therapy at a low point, dealing with heavy conflict, emotional shutdown, or even the possibility of separation. EFT was specifically designed for couples in significant distress, and research supports its effectiveness even in these situations. The willingness of both partners to try is the most important factor.
