Two people. One conversation.
Help that's been here before.
Most couples we sit with have already tried to figure it out alone. By the time you're reading this, you're probably tired of the same fight at 10pm on a Tuesday — and unsure whether therapy is the right next step. It often is.
Same-day appointments
When openings allow, we can often see you the day you reach out.
Most insurance accepted
Anthem, Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Magellan, L.A. Care, and more. Sliding scale by case.
LGBTQ+ affirmative care
Affirmative across all of our work, not as a separate "specialty."
Evening & weekend
Sessions Mon–Fri until 8pm and Sat–Sun until 4pm. Telehealth seven days a week.
What to expect, plainly
It's okay if this is your first time. Most of the people we work with have never been to therapy before, or haven't been in years.
-
Reach out
A short form, an email, or a phone call. Our healthcare coordinator gets back same-day on weekdays. No scripted sales calls — just a real human.
-
Your first session
Sixty minutes, both of you, in person or by video. There's no pressure to share everything. We're getting to know the two of you and you're getting to know us.
-
Ongoing care
If we're a good fit, we book weekly sessions and choose an approach (Gottman, EFT, IBCT, PACT, or Discernment) based on what you're working on.
"Do we actually need couples therapy?"
Most couples we sit with were not in crisis when they first thought about it. They were tired. They were having the same conversation in the same loop and noticing it wasn't getting anywhere. One partner was a little more sure than the other. Sometimes much more.
You don't need a problem big enough for an emergency room. You need help that knows what it's doing — that's been here before, that won't take sides, that won't be passive.
The reasons couples wait are reasonable. The cost. The schedule. The unspoken worry that going to therapy means something is broken. Most of those worries quiet down within the first few sessions.
Couples come to us for a few different things
Infidelity & Affair Recovery
The arc that follows the disclosure. Whether and how you rebuild trust. Real, hard, possible.
Read more → CommunicationCommunication Breakdown
The same fight, on a loop, with the volume creeping up. Patterns the two of you can't see from inside.
Read more → PremaritalPremarital Counseling
The conversations that are easier to have now than later — finances, family, beliefs, expectations.
Read more → Stay or leaveDiscernment Counseling
One of you is leaning out. One of you wants to save the marriage. A short, focused process to find clarity.
Read more → IntimacyIntimacy & Desire
The conversation you keep almost having. Desire discrepancy and what's underneath it.
Read more → FamilyBlended Family
Two households into one rhythm. Therapy for the couple at the center of the blended family.
Read more → NeurodiverseADHD & Relationships
When one partner has ADHD, the dynamic gets misread as "not caring." We'll teach you to read it differently.
Read more → AffirmativeLGBTQ+ Couples
Across the LGBTQ+ spectrum. Minority stress, family-of-origin, intersectional identities.
Read more →Does insurance cover couples therapy?
Most of the time, no — and most LA practices don't say this out loud. Insurance generally pays only when there's a "medically necessary" diagnosis for one partner, billed as individual therapy. Couples work, by itself, doesn't fit that box.
That doesn't mean you're stuck. We accept all insurance plans we contract with, will provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, and consider sliding scale on a case-by-case basis. HSA and FSA cards work too.
What couples say after they start
Composite quotes drawn from common feedback — anonymized to protect client confidentiality.
"We came in skeptical. By session three we both noticed our 10pm fight had stopped happening on its own. The therapist didn't take sides — she helped us see what neither of us could see from inside the loop."
"I dragged my husband here. He hated the idea. After our second session he told me — without me asking — that he was glad we'd come. We're still working, but it's different work now."
"After the affair I didn't think we'd make it. Eighteen months later we are not the same couple, in a good way. The space they hold for both of us is unusual — neither of us felt blamed."
"We did the premarital program before we got married. The conversations we had in those eight sessions are conversations I think every couple should have, in that order, with someone in the room who knows where to look."
"Telehealth on a Sunday night, both of us in the same room, has been the thing that made therapy actually possible with our schedules. Never thought I'd say that."
"As a same-sex couple we've felt 'tolerated' in therapy before. Here we felt like the work was actually about us — minority stress, family of origin, the whole picture, not bracketed out."
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Reach out. We'll get back the same day on weekdays. No long forms, no scripted sales calls — just a real human and an honest conversation about whether we're a good fit.
