Why The Marriage Place

Couples Therapy Is Our Specialty

Your marriage is struggling. You can't communicate with your partner the way you want. Your relationship feels distant or has been rocked by infidelity. You worry about how your relationship is impacting the kids and what the future holds.

You may have even tried marriage counseling before but it didn't work, or the changes didn't last. Perhaps now you are the only one trying to save your marriage.

Before you give up on your relationship — one you've invested so much time and emotional energy into — we want to show you how you can turn things from hopeless to hopeful.

Our Philosophy

What Makes Us Different

Our Approach

Pro-Marriage

We believe most marriages can be saved if you are willing to put in the work. All too often, couples call it quits way too early for little reason other than dissatisfaction and lost hope. Our vision is to help you realize it is easier to work on the marriage you have than to start over alone.

Our Belief

The Power of One

Many experts believe if your spouse wants out, your marriage is without hope. We don't. We know feelings can change and relationships can be saved, even when only one partner is initially committed to change. Kim Bowen, our founder, lived this in her own marriage. If you are the ONE who remains committed, we will help you fight to save your marriage.

Our Promise

Speaking the Truth

Trust is the foundation of our work. We are willing to have tough conversations and tell you what you need to hear — even when it's not what you want to hear. Our counselors deliver even the hardest truths in a direct but compassionate way, because we want more than anything for you to succeed.

Our Team

Collaborative Expertise

When you work with one of our counselors or coaches, you get the benefit of an entire team with decades of experience in couples therapy, trauma, ART, and EMDR. We meet weekly and do case consults to collaborate — tailoring our work to your specific needs and goals.

The Marriage Place is a fantastic resource for any couple facing challenges, whether small or large. They are friendly, professional and dedicated to helping people. I couldn't recommend Kim Bowen and her team more highly.

— Uriah G.

I am so in love with my husband. We have become closer than before — so much of how I pictured our relationship could be is coming true before my eyes. I am so grateful to The Marriage Place for your integral role in this transformation.

— Anonymous
★★★★★

We saw Kim for couples counseling and my wife saw Patty for individual counseling. The counselors at The Marriage Place changed our lives and made our marriage so much better. Can't say enough.

— T.D., McKinney TX
★★★★★

Convenient location, super professional, and our therapist has been very helpful. We looked long and hard to find a therapist that would give us tools we could carry beyond counseling — and that's exactly what they provided.

— Anonymous
★★★★★

I can't thank you enough. Spending money on saving a relationship is much better than spending money on a divorce. I am so grateful for your help and time.

— G.B., Connecticut
★★★★★

Kim worked with my parents to save their marriage almost 10 years ago. Our entire family dynamic changed when my parents saw her. I'm working with Kim now to improve my own marriage — she truly is a miracle worker.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your most important questions about The Marriage Place and our counseling & coaching services.

Schedule a discovery call
What are your counseling rates?
50-minute sessions with a fully licensed therapist start at $195. 80-minute sessions start at $315. The first session for a couple will typically be 80 minutes. We also offer sessions with LPC/LMFT Associates or Masters Level Interns at significantly reduced rates. If cost is a concern, please reach out to discuss options — we do our best to find something that works for you.
What are your coaching rates?
A standard 50-minute coaching session is $140. Longer sessions and specialty services are also available. We recommend an initial 50-minute session to experience the coaching process and get to know your coach before purchasing additional sessions.
Do you accept insurance?
The Marriage Place is an out-of-network provider. We do not process insurance claims directly, but many clients submit claims for reimbursement with their insurance provider. We can provide the documentation needed (including diagnosis and service coding) to help you file. FSA and HSA cards are accepted. Contact your insurer to check your out-of-network mental health benefits.
Do you only work with married couples?
No — we work with both couples and individuals, married and unmarried. We work with those never married, those thinking about getting married, and those thinking about not staying married. If your partner doesn't want to participate, come alone. Individual relationship-focused counseling is absolutely available.
What if my partner refuses to come to counseling?
Come anyway. We recommend you don't beg and plead — it usually doesn't work. Instead, come by yourself ready to focus on what you can control: yourself. We can teach you how to change your relationship dynamic — and potentially change your partner's attitude toward therapy — simply by focusing on your own side of the street.
Can my marriage be saved after an affair?
Yes. In fact, most marriages heal after infidelity. We won't sugar-coat the process — it is hard work — but it is very possible to rebuild trust and the foundation of your relationship. Both partners carry wounds after an affair, and we address the full scope of damage before moving forward together.
My spouse wants out. Can you still help me?
You've come to the right place. Our coaches specialize in Marriage Rescue — helping you save your marriage even when you are the only one who wants to stay. We've seen feelings change and relationships saved even in the most desperate situations. As long as one of you remains committed, we will keep fighting for your marriage.
DOES “PRO-MARRIAGE” MEAN YOU THINK ALL MARRIAGES SHOULD BE SAVED?
No. We will never advocate for staying in a relationship that is emotionally, physically or sexually abusive. We may – depending on the severity of the abuse – recommend the a couple separate and each do individual counseling before trying to work on the relationship together. While not every marriage can or should be saved, we believe most marriages can be saved if you are willing to do the work; however only the two of you IN your marriage are qualified to decide if YOUR marriage can be saved. Our job is to provide the framework to help you sort out your thoughts and feelings so you can make the best decision for your relationship.
We've tried marriage counseling before. What makes you different?
It's not unusual for our clients to have tried several other counselors before finding The Marriage Place. We don't just offer a bandage — we want to help you understand how you got here, why you respond to each other the way you do, and most importantly, how you can make lasting change. We take your marriage as our client, not just you individually.
Is therapy going to make things worse?
Sometimes therapy is more stressful in the beginning — we often warn clients to expect it to get harder before it gets better. You'll be addressing issues that may have been ignored for a long time, and learning new skills that require change. Think of it like the soreness after your first workout in months: it means you're making progress. Therapy works. We've seen couples make life-changing progress.
Do you offer a Christian counseling perspective?
We do — though our practice is not limited to Christian counseling. We serve a diverse clientele of varying faith backgrounds. For clients who request to incorporate faith into the therapy process, we welcome the opportunity. Please let us know at the time of booking so we can match you with one of our Christian therapists who offer this service.
How do I get started?
