Couples Therapy

I primarily utilize The Gottman Method for marital therapy due to the decades of research showing their method to be effective in improving even the worst relationships. Their method is practical, skills based, and easy to use for those who may struggle with knowing how to change. I also integrate mindfulness-based, emotion focused, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to couples therapy as needed.

Please note: I am a level 3 trained Gottman provider and I am in the process of seeking full certification, the final step in my Gottman training. I am only accepting couples who are willing to let me record our therapy sessions. A requirement of the certification process is the submission of therapy videos showing my therapeutic skill. We can discuss this more during a free consultation if you have any questions or concerns.

Treatment Options:

1) Weekly or Bi-weekly, 75-minute, session. Cost: $180 per session

2) Two Day Therapy Intensive or “Marathon Therapy:” Cost: $2000

Reserved for couples with acute, or time sensitive, issues that need to be resolved through dedicated time set aside. Also for couples with chronic and unresolved issues who are highly motivated to make quick but enduring change.

Intensives are offered in a Friday/Sunday arrangement, 6 hours each day, with “homework” assigned to the couple to be completed on Saturday.

COST includes mandatory online assessment, printed handbook with materials/skills, and the individual and joint assessment sessions that must take place prior to the actual intensive.

Note: Intensives are not for couples where one or both partners are…

-engaged in abusive behaviors towards their partner (this will be screened for)

-engaged in compulsive or poorly controlled drug/substance use

- not committed to the relationship or invested in making real change

-cognitively impaired

Talk with your partner about your ability to invest in these services. While it is an investment, couples often feel it was one worth making.

Know that I do not bill insurance. Call your insurance company to determine if you can use your HSA funds or if there are options for gaining reimbursement for the couples therapy services you pay for out-of-pocket.
