When I am working with a couple, my preference is to do all of our work with you as a couple. Ultimately, I see your relationship as being my client, and the focus is always therefore on your relational dynamic. When I meet with one partner alone, the absent partner loses out on the potential of understanding their partner’s experiences and thought process and there is a risk that the couple’s therapy can become unbalanced.

You may feel that your kids are the cause of most of your stresses and lead to many of the arguments between you. However, couples coaching can (and should) be challenging, and will require your full attention to be on yourselves and your relationship. You may also not want your kids to overhear some of our conversations, so making arrangements for your kids so that you can meet as a couple is by far the best strategy.

How much does Couple’s Coaching cost?

3-Hour intensive sessions are $695, 2-Hour follow-up sessions are $430, 60-minute sessions are $215.

Obviously, there are no guarantees, but I firmly believe that the approach I use for relationship coaching, the Crucible ® approach, is significantly different to the approach most marriage therapists use. The work is challenging and ultimately encourages and requires personal growth to improve the relationship. I find that most couples that consider their relationship issues from this perspective see a side of themselves and their relational dynamic that they may have missed in previous therapy experiences.

Coaching is not a service that is covered by health insurance as it is not medical or mental health treatment. You may be able to reimburse what you spend on couples coaching using your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Check with your account administrator.

Yes. It is not unusual for one partner, or both partners, to be considering separation or divorce when their relationship is not working for them, particularly if they have been discontented for an extended period of time. Sometimes the initial work is for both partners to evaluate the potential of their relationship, and what they would each need in order to move forward before they can commit to working on the relationship at a deeper level.
