For Couples Therapy:
Some couples notice improvements in communication and emotional connection within a few sessions. Deeper issues like trust or long-term conflict may take more time and consistency to heal.
For Individual Therapy (Couples Therapy for One):
Clients often experience increased clarity, self-awareness, and emotional relief early on. Creating lasting change in relational patterns may take a bit longer, depending on your goals and circumstances.
At Couples Chat Clinic, we tailor the process to your unique needs and pace, using proven, effective approaches.
Research shows that consistent, weekly therapy sessions are more effective — and more cost-efficient — than sporadic visits. That’s why we meet with clients on a weekly basis, establishing a recurring appointment time that supports momentum and progress.
You’ll get the most out of therapy by actively engaging in the process — both inside and outside of sessions. The ultimate goal is to help you take what you’re learning in therapy and apply it to real-life situations, so you can experience lasting growth, insight, and emotional well-being.
At Couples Chat Clinic, we believe in transparent, fair pricing for high-quality, personalized care. Our fees range from $180 to $275. Payments are made at the time of your session.
Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged for the full session. Payment is due at the beginning of the therapy session.
To respect everyone’s time and ensure availability for all clients, Couples Chat Clinic requires at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment.
If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice or do not attend your scheduled session, you will be responsible for the full session fee.
We appreciate your understanding and commitment to the therapeutic process.
At Couples Chat Clinic, we are an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly. However, we can provide you with a superbill—a detailed receipt of services rendered—which you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Coverage for couples therapy varies among insurance plans; many insurers do not cover it unless it's deemed "medically necessary" due to a diagnosed mental health condition.
Please note that submitting a superbill does not guarantee reimbursement, as policies differ between insurance companies. Additionally, some clients choose to use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to pay for therapy services.Verywell Mind
If you have further questions about fees or the reimbursement process, feel free to reach out to us directly.
At this time, all sliding scale slots at Couples Chat Clinic are currently full. However, we’re happy to provide referrals to trusted therapists who offer a range of fees or lower-cost options.

At Couples Chat Clinic, we typically recommend weekly sessions, especially at the beginning of therapy. Research shows that meeting weekly helps build momentum, strengthen the therapeutic relationship, and create lasting change more efficiently.
While bi-weekly sessions may be considered in later stages of therapy or for maintenance, they are not available during the early phases of treatment.
*If you are experienced with therapy and feel bi-weekly could work for your situation, please email me for a free consultation to discuss.
Yes — confidentiality is one of the most essential components of effective therapy. At Couples Chat Clinic, we understand that building trust requires a safe, private space to explore sensitive topics that may not be shared anywhere else.
Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a client and a psychotherapist. Successful therapy requires a high degree of trust with highly sensitive subject matter that is usually not discussed anywhere but in the therapist’s office. Every therapist should provide a written copy of their confidential disclosure agreement, and you can expect that what you discuss in the session will not be shared with anyone. This is called “Informed Consent”. Sometimes, however, you may want your therapist to share information or give an update to someone on your healthcare team (your Physician, Attorney, or another provider). In these cases, we will only share information if you’ve signed a written Release of Information form.
There are a few legal and ethical exceptions to confidentiality, such as:
* Suspected past or present abuse or neglect of children, adults, and elders to the authorities, including Child Protection and law enforcement, based on information provided by the client or collateral sources.
* If the therapist has reason to suspect the client is seriously in danger of harming him/herself or has threatened to harm another person.
*Judge's court order
These exceptions will be reviewed during your intake process, so you know exactly what to expect. At Couples Chat Clinic, your privacy, safety, and trust are our top priorities.
Absolutely. From the very beginning, the Couples Chat Clinic has been a safe, welcoming space for all kinds of relationships. Our therapists are affirming, culturally sensitive, and experienced in working with:
We understand the unique challenges these relationships may face — from navigating identity and communication to managing stigma or cultural expectations. Our approach is grounded in respect, inclusivity, and proven therapeutic methods that honor who you are and how yo
Yes — absolutely. You don’t have to be in a relationship to benefit from therapy at Couples Chat Clinic. We support individuals who want to:
In fact, some of the most powerful relationship work happens when you’re not currently in a partnership — because you can reflect with greater objectivity and focus on your personal growth without distraction.
Whether you’re exploring past dynamics, preparing for future love, or simply working on showing up more intentionally in all your connections, we’re here to help.
While couples therapy can be transformative, there are times when it may not be the most effective or safe option — at least initially.
If there is ongoing physical aggression in your relationship, couples counseling is usually not the best choice until internal changes take place in a person that enable the aggressive acts to be controlled. However, sometimes going through the initial assessment sessions will help motivate an aggressive partner to get individual treatment. Couples therapy may also be of limited or no value if one or the other partner is actively engaged in an ongoing secret affair or is making covert significant financial decisions without the other partner’s knowledge.
In these situations, we may recommend individual therapy, safety planning, or a combination of services as the first step. At Couples Chat Clinic, we’re committed to helping you get the right support — even if that means starting outside of the couple dynamic.
Couples Therapy for One is a specialized, individual-focused approach for people who want to improve their relationship—even if their partner isn’t ready or willing to attend join therapy. Couples Therapy for One focuses on the changes you can make to break unhealthy patterns, communicate more effectively, set boundaries and express your needs clearly, and build deeper connections.
While it takes two to maintain a relationship, it only takes one person to begin the process of change. By learning new tools and shifting how you show up emotionally and relationally, you can positively influence your partner’s behavior, responses, and willingness to engage.
Couples Therapy for One helps you reclaim your power, strengthen your emotional clarity, and create space for a more fulfilling relationship — with or without your partner in the room.
Yes — while many partners find couples therapy to be a powerful space for learning new communication skills and strengthening their relationship, it's important to be aware of potential challenges that may arise during the process.
Possible risks of couples therapy include:
Note: We generally recommend that each partner have their own individual therapist, whenever possible, to support personal growth alongside the work done in couples sessions.
