Marriage/Couples Counseling

Services > Marriage/Couples Counseling

Let’s face the facts, if you’re in a relationship there is going to be conflict.

If you’ve wondered if a marriage counselor could help improve your relationship, now may be a good time to pursue couples therapy. Even if you’re happy in your marriage overall but want to work on one aspect of your relationship, learning new skills can strengthen an already healthy partnership.

Remember that the perfect marriage doesn’t exist. Some of the reasons people may seek marriage therapy are: sexual differences, life stages, financial issues, stress, boredom and infidelity to name a few. A therapist can help you and your loved one at every stage in the journey. It may seem silly or embarrassing to ask for help outside of your marriage but a trained professional can offer insight and guidance so that you can see things you may be having trouble seeing on your own. Even if you’re happy in your marriage overall but want to work on one or more aspects of your marriage,therapists at Essentially You Counseling and Wellness Services can help.

5. What happens during my first appointment?
Your first appointment is an opportunity for you and your therapist to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, understand your concerns and goals, and begin developing a plan for treatment.

You don’t need to prepare a perfect explanation of everything you’re experiencing. Your therapist will guide the conversation.

6. Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. We offer telehealth appointments for eligible clients, subject to clinical, insurance, and other applicable requirements.
7. Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We are an insurance-based mental health practice and work with participating insurance plans.

Because insurance participation can vary by therapist, service, location, and plan, we recommend contacting our office to confirm whether your specific insurance plan can be used for your requested service.

8. How long will I need therapy?
The length of treatment varies significantly from person to person.

Some people seek therapy for a specific situation or period of their lives, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist will work with you to determine what makes sense for your goals rather than assuming everyone needs the same amount of treatment.

Your mental health starts with you. Let us help you on your journey.
