Couples Session
Online couples sessions for partners in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area.
A dedicated space for two people to understand how they truly work together — repair the pattern underneath the conflict, and rebuild a partnership that feels steady, honest, and shared.
A space for both of you
Every session is shared, balanced, and structured so both voices are heard equally — with a clear focus on what moves your relationship forward, not who's right.
Building shared understanding
We help you see the pattern behind the disagreement, so you can respond to each other with more clarity, patience, and lasting trust — long after the conversation ends.
How the work unfolds
Discovery Conversation
A relaxed, structured conversation to understand where you both stand today — what's working, what feels stuck, and what you want to build together.
Shared Roadmap
We map the patterns underneath the friction and agree on a clear focus for the work — so every session moves you both in the same direction.
Guided Sessions
Structured, collaborative sessions where you practice new ways of communicating, listening, and resolving disagreement in real time.
Lasting Rhythm
We close with practical tools and a rhythm you can carry forward — so the progress you build together keeps compounding after the work ends.
What changes for you both
Communication that actually lands
Learn to say the hard thing without it becoming a fight, and to hear each other without getting defensive.
Trust rebuilt on solid ground
Move past old resentments with a shared understanding of what happened and why — not just an agreement to move on.
A partnership, not a negotiation
Replace the sense of scorekeeping with a rhythm where you're solving problems together, not against each other.

Does insurance cover couples therapy?
Usually not directly. Most couples specialists, including us, are private pay, because insurers often require a diagnosis and couples therapy is not one. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, it may reimburse part of the fee.
How many sessions of couples therapy do you need?
Typically 8 to 20, with most of the change in the first eight to twelve. It depends on how long the pattern has been running. You get an honest estimate after the first session.
