No and No! We work with both married & unmarried couples and individuals, however a Couples Intensive is a couples-only service. For our clients who are working to save their marriage alone, please check out our Marriage Rescue For One option.

Unfortunately, Couples Intensives are not typically covered by health insurance. If you have an FSA/HSA card you’d like to use, we’d be happy to accept it as your form of payment. If you have questions regarding insurance eligibility, please consult with your plan administrator.

The quick answer is, if you want to improve your relationship, you keep trying until you find something that works. It’s not unusual for our clients to have tried several other counselors in a traditional setting before finding The Marriage Place. We don’t just take you as our client, we take your marriage. We aren’t going to just offer you a bandage. We want to help you understand how you got to where you are today, why you respond to each other the way you do, and most importantly, how you can make lasting change moving forward. This isn’t easy work, but we are passionate about it.

The only time we ever tell a couple they should consider separation is if either partner is being seriously threatened in some way. The truth is we hate divorce. That’s why our name is The Marriage Place. We are huge advocates for the marriage relationship; but sometimes, a couple comes in and one spouse is being abused (emotionally, physically or sexually) by the other. When this happens, we may – depending on the severity of the abuse – recommend the couple separate and each to do individual counseling before trying to work on the relationship as a couple. We believe the only people qualified to say if your marriage can be saved are the two people IN your marriage. Our job is to help you sort out your thoughts and feelings so you can decide what is best for you.

No. While we are huge advocates for the marriage relationship, we believe the only people qualified to say if your marriage can or should be saved are the two of you IN your marriage. Our job is to help you sort out your thoughts and feelings so you can decide what is best for you, your relationship, and your family.

Yes. In fact, most marriages heal after infidelity. Though we won’t sugar coat this and tell you it will be easy (it won’t be), it is very possible to rebuild the foundation of a relationship and learn to trust each other again. An affair causes significant damage to the relationship and to the partner who was not unfaithful. The partner who cheated is not unscathed either, likely carrying loads of guilt and shame for the damage done by the infidelity. Damage control and repair work must be addressed before moving forward together.

We do, however our practice is not limited to Christian counseling/coaching or clients of Christian faith. We serve a diverse clientele of varying faith backgrounds and beliefs. We take the approach that our client will have the opportunity to determine what role, if any, faith plays in their work with us. For our Christian clients who request to incorporate their faith in the process, we welcome the opportunity to do so. Please let us know at at the time of booking and we will be sure to match you with one of our Christian therapists or coaches who offer this service. Learn more.
