Exhausted. Disconnected. Stuck.

You love each other, but lately, it feels like love just isn’t enough. 

The same arguments play on repeat, and every attempt to fix things leaves you feeling more frustrated and alone.

Maybe you’ve asked yourself:

  • “Why do we keep fighting over the same things?”
  • “Can we ever get back to how we used to be?”
  • “Is it even possible to trust each other again?”

When conflict feels like the norm and emotional intimacy seems out of reach, it’s easy to wonder if things will ever change.

The good news? They can. 

With the right tools and support, your relationship can transform into something stronger than you thought possible.

Couples Counseling Can Help

At Forbes IFT, we specialize in helping couples uncover what’s beneath the surface. We work with you to:

  • Identify the root causes of recurring conflicts—so you’re not just putting out fires but preventing them from starting.
  • Develop healthy strategies for resolving disagreements in a way that feels respectful and productive.
  • Rebuild trust and deepen emotional intimacy, creating a foundation of security and closeness.
  • Participate in guided exercises designed to strengthen your bond and help you rediscover the joy in your relationship.

The transformation can be incredible.

The Transformation in Your Relationship Can be  Incredible.

As you work through these steps, something incredible happens. 

The tension starts to fade.

  • The spark you thought was gone reignites. 
  • You find yourselves laughing at inside jokes, flirting like you did when you first met, and waking up excited to see each other.
  • Your relationship begins to feel like a safe haven again—a place where you can be yourselves, free of judgment or resentment.

Imagine looking at your partner and thinking, “We’re really doing this. We’re in love again.”

This isn’t just about resolving conflicts; it’s about creating a relationship you’re excited to come home to.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does therapy cost?

Therapy Associates - $100 - $150 per session
Licensed Therapists - $150 - $225 per session

When you reach out, we'll work to find what makes sense for you.

Can I use my insurance?

We are considered "Out-Of-Network" providers, which means we do not accept any insurance directly. We've made the decision to work directly with our clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.

If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then we will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

We recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.

Otherwise you can choose to see us privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of our clients choose this option below.

Why would I choose to pay privately instead of using my insurance benefits?

Most of our clients actually prefer to work with us privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.

Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.
An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going
At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage

If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then we recommend reaching out to us page and we'd be happy to answer any questions.

How long are therapy sessions?

Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes to one hour, although the duration may vary depending on individual needs and therapist availability. Your therapist will discuss session length and frequency with you during your initial appointment.

How can therapy help me?

Therapy can help you gain self-awareness, develop coping skills, improve communication, build healthier relationships, and work through difficult emotions or experiences. It provides a safe and supportive environment to explore and address your concerns with the guidance of a trained professional.
