What are your rates?

Our model typically involves approximately 12 hours of intensive therapy. This includes:

• Initial 1-hour joint session for assessment

• Two 1-hour individual sessions also for assessment

• Four 2-hour couples counseling sessions

• Summary Report for you to keep

Ideally, all sessions will be scheduled within a few days of each other so that the intensity and momentum gained in each session is not lost. When we schedule our couples counseling appointments, we block off our schedule to allow for greater flexiblity. Sessions can be completed in as little as a long weekend (for those couples traveling to Central Ohio, for example).

Hourly Rate | $285

Discounted to $275 for payment by check, cash or Zelle.

Why don’t you accept insurance?

Health insurance does not pay for an intensive model. Additionally, if your health insurance provides coverage for relationship counseling, one person in the relationship needs to have a diagnosis AND be identified as “the patient.” Our approach identifies the relationship as the client, not either person, and a relationship cannot have a diagnosis.

Can I use my HSA/FSA funds?

Yes, you can use these funds to pay for our services.

What if we would like to continue after the intensive?

Toward the end of our work together, we will discuss what you both want to do moving forward. You might feel like you've gotten what you need, or you might decide you would like to continue the progress you have made. If that is the case, we will then refer you to a colleague who practices traditional couples counseling. With your consent, we will also communicate the information we've learned to your new couples counselor so you will be able to hit the ground running and have an advantage of beginning the process with the knowledge you gained in our work together. 

Why this instead of traditional weekly therapy?

Our accelerated, intensive, personalized approach allows us to dive deeply into your relationship distress and stay there with you, rather than having to regroup after a week apart.

How quickly can we get started?

We usually respond to inquiries within 24 hours. Scheduling virtual consultations and in-person counseling appointments will depend on your flexibility and our calendars. We strive to start as quickly as possible.

How do you schedule our sessions?

We begin with assessment appointments to better understand your relationship (1 hour) and you as individuals (1 hour each). These appointments can be scheduled back to back or over a few days or even weeks.  Our intensive couples counseling typically involves meeting 3-4 hours in a day scheduled over 2-3 days.  We have flexibility but prefer to schedule counseling sessions as close together as possible.

Won’t we be tired after a two-hour appointment?

While a 2-4 hour appointment may seem long, and you may be tired by the end, hopefully you will also be energized and reinvigorated as we help you reconnect in your relationship. If we meet twice in one day, we will take a break between appointments and then pick up where we left off.
