Anonymous says, "It has been a life-changing experience working with Natalie. When I came to her, I was dealing with symptoms of depression and anxiety, a constant sense of shame, and feeling like I had no control of my life. Natalie is very empathetic and warm, but she will also tell you the truth even when it is a little hard to hear. She knows what she is talking about and is trained in a variety of different treatment methods which she will pull from as needed. She gives great homework assignments and expects you to do the work. Most of these have been really instrumental eye-opening for me. She has helped me get to where I no longer feel like a victim, but I have a say in how my life goes. I have learned to be kinder to myself and how to have more effective and positive relationships. My work with her has been part of a huge turning point in my life, and I whole-heartedly recommend her, whatever your need may be." Read more

Your marriage counseling questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does marriage counseling cost?

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.

Is marriage counseling covered by insurance?

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.

What is marriage counseling, and what should I expect in a session?

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.

Does marriage counseling work, and is it worth it?

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

How long does marriage counseling last?

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.

How can I choose the best marriage counselor near me?

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.

What questions should I ask a marriage counselor?

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?

I've had the opportunity to work with Natalie over the last 18 months and can recommend her without reservation. Natalie is a kind and compassionate professional who is concerned that I am making progress towards my personal goals. Natalie listens well, and beyond that, is able to "hear" what's really being said. Natalie comes prepared to each meeting and expects the same of her clients. She is able to start up exactly where a previous appointment left off. This won't be just "talk therapy". Bring a notebook and expect "homework." She handles conflict well and there isn't anything I don't feel comfortable discussing. Appointment times are flexible, easy to schedule and the office is centrally located. I would not hesitate to recommend her!

I was experiencing a journey of difficulties and obstacles in my life that made me depressed, and I felt I needed to address the issues to find a sense of direction. Sabrina Hendricks was the counselor I selected after extensive research on the Internet. She has a warm smile, and her Internet site is welcoming, friendly and very informative. Ms. Hendricks has counseled me for the past six months for Depression and Anxiety. In her sessions, I have learned to live with more peace, get through the day more calmly and change circumstances that create negative reactions; discover my inner strength.

Testimonial for Christel For me, Christel is now a dear friend, a wonderful, wonderful person, that, by simply being part of it, changed my life. I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical at the beginning, how would listening to a cd actually help. When living a busy life that resumes pretty much at work and spending as much time as you can with your family, you tend to dismiss this as an activity. But when things get tough, we also look for relief and look for ways to heal our soul. After less than one week of listening to Christel's Psychotherapy at vibrational Speed" recording, I noticed substantial improvements in my thoughts, feelings and actions. With Christel's calming voice I felt my mind as well as my body totally relaxed. Her formulations of relaxing techniques were insightful and soothing. If you want to make some positive changes in your life, I would strongly recommend Christel's CD.
