Questions
Do you accept insurance for counseling services?
We do not bill insurance directly but provide invoices for possible reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan and coaching/consultations may not always be reimbursed.
Can I use HSA funds to pay for services?
Yes, our services may be eligible for HSA reimbursement. Check with your plan administrator for confirmation and specific requirements.
What types of relationship issues do you specialize in?
We specialize in affair recovery and betrayal trauma, but also help with communication issues, frequent conflict, and rebuilding connection in relationships.
How are consultations different from traditional therapy?
Consultations provide focused, goal-oriented sessions with practical tools and action plans. They are not ongoing psychotherapy but offer targeted guidance for specific relationship challenges.
What support options are available besides individual sessions?
We offer free monthly masterclasses, weekly support groups, and private online communities. These provide additional resources and peer support for relationship healing journeys.

Our approach combines trauma therapy techniques with relationship repair strategies. We focus on emotional safety, honest communication, and rebuilding connection through structured, evidence-based methods.
