Is couples therapy worth it?

Yes, couples therapy is worth it in most cases. Research shows about 75% of couples agree that emotionally focused therapy had a positive impact on their relationship.

To compare, getting a divorce costs $10,000 to $15,000 on average. Besides the high monetary expense, also consider the greater emotional costs of divorce, especially when children are involved.

Is couples therapy covered by insurance?

Most insurance companies do not cover couples therapy unless you or your partner has a medically diagnosed mental illness and the doctor prescribes therapy as part of the treatment.

If you or your partner work for a company that offers employer-sponsored group insurance, some businesses have Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that often include individual and couples counseling.

How does couples therapy work?

In couples therapy, the therapist first assesses your personalities, needs, and triggers through conversation and often a written questionnaire. After assessing your relationship, the therapist works with you and provides you with tools to practice and improve your communication and conflict resolution skills.

The therapist may assign homework for you and your partner to work on alone or together in between sessions. The therapist may also schedule individual sessions to allow more open communication.

When should you go to couples therapy?

Any couple wanting to improve their relationship and communication could benefit from couples therapy. Emotional distance, infidelity, financial disagreements, lack of sexual intimacy, family challenges, and increased conflicts are all reasons to seek couples therapy.

How do I choose the best couples therapist near me?

When searching for couples therapy near you, be sure to:

Ask your primary care physician, trusted friends, or family members for recommendations.
Refer to the list of preferred providers if using your company’s Employee Assistance Program coverage.
Look for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) with 2+ years of clinical experience.
Confirm their credentials and qualifications.
Read their reviews on Thervo, Google, and other online sources.

What questions should I ask when searching for a couples therapist?

Couples therapy is very personal. Consider asking the following question to help you find the best fit for you and your partner:

Are you a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)?
How long have you been counseling couples?
What types of therapy do you specialize in?
Have you been successful helping other couples?
How long are your sessions?
How many sessions should we plan for?
What should we expect at our first session?
Do you assign homework between sessions?
What is your policy for cancellations, late arrivals, and missed appointments?
Do you offer a payment plan or sliding scale rates?

I was raised in a fairly large Spanish family which from my knowledge and asking found it very interesting that none of our families had ever had Pre-Marital Counseling (PMC). It was something that we never did or considered. When my wife brought it up honestly I felt like something was going wrong and I kind of had a negative view on it. After going back and forth with her about it I agreed to do it just to make her happy. It was one of the smartest decisions I have made as an adult. We discussed many different scenarios that would be coming up in our life in the near future that I would have never thought of discussing before getting married. I had different views and beliefs on such things as managing money to simple things such as how many kids we want to have. I am very thankful I did the PMC because it helped to solve some issues we had going into our marriage that honestly could have been huge issues if we would have waited until they arose. I have very thankful we could have these discussions before getting married and possibly ruining our marriage because we were both very far apart on where we stood on many aspects of life.

Jeff Chaffee saved my life. I was at the worst time in my life. Where I felt like there was no way out. It was scary. I felt like no one or nothing could help me. When I got an email from him, I immediately felt like I could tell him everything. I felt a kindness in his words and the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew that he was the one that could help me. No judgments, just truth. I’ve been in therapy my entire life and every time after every session I felt the same. I was blabbing for 50 mins and the therapist was writing down something and I left feeling empty. With Jeff, he interacts with you and guides you through it. And calls it the way it is. Challenging you but in a very spiritual way. I’ve specifically asked for someone who did a holistic approach and not the typical sit down and talk at a person kind of deal. He IS the real deal. He practices what he teaches and I connect with him so well. So easy to talk to. He gets it. And you are enlightened immediately. Jeff, you are one in a million and I’m here now finally seeing the light and hope in my life and the vastness of what I can do. Limitless. I’m thankful for you. If you are looking for someone who can help you change your life. This is your guy. I hope that I will remain your friend for life. I have absolute respect for you. Love and Peace
