What is couples counseling?

Whether you call it couples counseling, marriage therapy or relationship therapy, it’s a time to talk about the relationship and any problems occurring within it, your underlying feelings about the relationship, and what a better relationship might look like for you. Couples counseling is NOT how to decide who is right or wrong within the situation. Your counselor will not be “choosing sides” of a conflict.

How does virtual couples counseling work?

Similar to a Zoom or FaceTime meeting, you will join the online session to a HIPAA-compliant platform using your PC or mobile device.

Many couples find it easier to fit counseling into their busy lives when they can join from the convenience of their own home- or wherever they may be!
