Questions
How does virtual marriage counseling work?
Our HIPAA-compliant platform offers secure video sessions. After scheduling online, you'll receive access links. Therapy includes interactive exercises, homework assignments, and progress tracking through encrypted digital tools.
What is the Gottman Relationship Checkup?
A comprehensive assessment covering 12 relationship domains. Each partner completes online questionnaires, followed by a professional analysis session. The research-based evaluation identifies strengths and areas needing improvement in your relationship.
How long does trust rebuilding typically take?
Trust recovery varies by situation complexity. Our structured program typically requires 12-16 weeks with weekly sessions. Progress depends on both partners' commitment to completing exercises and implementing new communication patterns consistently.
Do you accept insurance?
We operate as private pay providers to maintain treatment flexibility. However, we can provide documentation for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Payment plans and session packages help make therapy more accessible.
What if we need immediate help?
We recommend crisis resources like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988) for urgent situations. Our services focus on non-crisis relationship counseling. Emergency rooms and local therapists should handle immediate mental health emergencies.
Are your therapists licensed?
All clinicians hold active California Marriage and Family Therapist licenses. Our team maintains ongoing education in evidence-based methods like Gottman Therapy, EMDR, and trauma-informed care through regular professional development.
