No. Most people start because something feels off, not because everything’s falling apart. Maybe you’re always in your head, tired of the same fight, or still carrying something you never dealt with.

Yes, when both partners are willing to show up and do the work. Couples therapy helps you see the pattern behind the fights, talk without it turning into another one, and rebuild trust that’s been broken. Every relationship is different, so results vary. The free consultation is a chance for both of you to see if it feels right.
This is a private-pay practice, and the first consultation is free. Fees depend on the type and length of session. You’ll find full pricing, payment options and superbill details on the Fees page. You can also ask during your consultation, before you commit to anything.
No. Therapy is built around your goals, not an open-ended commitment. We check in on your progress regularly and adjust how often you meet as things change. Some people come for a few months; others stay longer. You’re always part of that decision.
