Gil G. says, "Working with Ana was and is a great experience. I was a bit worried and skeptic about therapy at first but Ana made me feel comfortable and heard. I especially liked the approach of looking at therapy as a way to learn and exercise methods of dealing with life and acquiring tools to be able to do it on my own. I very much recommend working with Ana she is a wonderful person and she helped me a lot. " Read more

Your marriage counseling questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

Marriage counseling costs $120 to $250 per session for in-person therapy or $90 to $230 per session for virtual counseling. Prices depend on the length of the session, the therapist's experience, the counseling method, and your location. Prices are highest in major metropolitan areas like New York, Boston, Seattle, and San Francisco.

Marriage counseling is typically not covered by insurance unless it's prescribed by a medical doctor due to a billable diagnosis, such as depression or bipolar disorder. Contact your insurance provider to confirm your coverage details.

Marriage counseling, also called couples therapy, is a solution-focused type of therapy that helps couples overcome struggles, resolve conflicts, and improve their relationship.

In your first session, you and your partner will discuss your relationship issues and goals with the therapist. The therapist will often ask questions to clarify your problems and concerns. The therapist then develops a goal-oriented plan for the upcoming sessions.

The therapist may use one or several methods and techniques to help you and your partner work towards resolution, and may give you homework to do alone or together in between sessions.

Marriage counseling works best when both partners actively participate and work together on the relationship during and in between sessions. Research shows current marriage counseling techniques like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) have a 70% to 75%+ success rate.

Marriage counseling is often worth the cost even for happy couples. Benefits of marriage counseling include:

  • Improved communication
  • More compassion and acceptance between partners
  • A better understanding of your needs and how to express them
  • A deeper connection with your partner
  • Improved intimacy

Marriage counseling lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on your needs and the issues you're hoping to resolve. A couple seeking therapy to resolve one small issue may benefit from fewer sessions, while a couple considering divorce may need 6+ months.

Weekly therapy sessions typically last 45 to 90 minutes. Most counselors recommend committing to one session per week for at least three months, as becoming comfortable with the therapy process and opening up to the therapist and each other takes time.

Look for a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), as most counselors without this specialty have only introductory training in couples therapy. Follow these tips to find the best marriage counselor near you:

  • Discuss your preferences and goals with your partner.
  • Explore the different relationship therapy methods and look for a counselor certified in your preferred method. Two popular, science-backed methods are the Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).
  • Ask for recommendations from your medical provider.
  • Read counselors' reviews on Thervo and Google.
  • Confirm the counselor accepts your insurance or offers a sliding-scale rate.
  • Ask about telemedicine and virtual visit options.
  • Schedule an initial consultation to make sure you're happy with the counselor's communication style and empathy.

Ask these questions to help you choose a marriage counselor who will help you and your partner achieve the best results:

  • What training and certifications do you have?
  • Do you primarily work with couples?
  • What therapy modalities and techniques do you use?
  • How long are your sessions?
  • How many sessions do you think we need?
  • What is a typical session like?
  • How do you measure progress?
  • Do you offer discounted packages, payment plans, or sliding scale rates?
  • What should we do to prepare for the first session?
  • Do you assign reading or homework between sessions?

The word wisdom comes to mind. You can sense that connection through relatability. The encouragement and direct vibe that she is giving while absorbing your challenges while you unload is really a true way to live. She lives what she believes. It’s a genuine thread in her character that you don’t see often. She will keep you focused with practical advice for how to keep your life moving in a flow that lines up with successes.

Paul was amazing. He takes his time and shows he cares for you. He explains everything that you need to know. He goes to bat for you. I would use him everytime I need advice and to go to court.

Hello 👋 Let me make this short and sweet, Basically I did not know what to fully expect when I was walking into this but the end results have blown my mind (in a good way of course)! I am one of those people who are always looking for spiritual guidance and growth. I personally have a Soul Evolution Coach, aside from Zheni, and I also have had sessions with many hypnosis guides ranging from masters who make you quit nicotine, past life regressions, generational healing etc. However, Zheni is the first guide that I met who is a Master NLP hypnotist. It is, hands down, the best thing I have done for myself personally, and I am definitely going to book another session with her ASAP! She got into my subconscious mind and released limitations and beliefs instantly !!! I was still subconsciously holding onto trauma, which explains why I was facing so much resistance when I was trying to move forward with my life. She did not have me explain my trauma, instead she basically took me to the traumatic event in hypnosis and made me release all the negativity without going into too much detail which I thought was genius. Like I said, I am one of those people who have a lot of experience with these things and looking back no one has ever done what she did to me. It took all day and honestly, I feel like a completely brand new person just one week later! If you feel like you are stuck somewhere in your life and you need some kind of guidance or spiritual growth I highly highly recommend to pencil in a session on your calendar with Zheni! Quick tip: Doing a little bit of research into NLP and understanding the science behind it before your session would help. It truly is remarkable and the word “breakthrough” couldn’t describe it any better. Thank you Zheni for changing my life I am so blessed to have crossed paths with you in this lifetime. 🙏 ((P.S: Investing in your future is NEVER a bad idea)). X0X0 Love Always , Dita
