What We Do

Every relationship has its challenges, but with the right support, you and your partner can strengthen your bond, resolve conflicts, and nurture a healthier, more fulfilling connection. Our Couples Counseling services are designed to meet you where you are, offering tailored approaches to help you address the heart of your relationship's struggles.

What We Offer

Couples Therapy focuses on specific challenges, such as communication barriers or recurring conflicts, helping you build the tools to overcome them together. Alternatively, Marriage Counseling is a more comprehensive approach, supporting married couples in overcoming deeper issues like trust breakdowns, infidelity, or long-term dissatisfaction. Both methods are rooted in expert-guided strategies for clear communication, problem-solving, and growth.

How We Can Help:

• Improved Communication Techniques

Learn how to express your feelings openly, listen effectively, and understand each other's perspectives.

• Rebuilding Trust

Work through emotional wounds and regain the trust essential for a healthy relationship.

• Conflict Resolution

Discover effective strategies to resolve recurring disagreements and create a harmonious partnership.

• Individual Well-being

Address underlying mental health concerns that may be affecting your relationship, such as stress, anxiety, or depression, empowering both you and your partner.

When Should You Seek Help?

Wondering if your relationship could benefit from counseling? Here are some signs it might be time to seek professional support:

• Difficulty communicating or frequent misunderstandings.

• Experiencing trust issues related to infidelity or past conflicts.

• Feeling like unresolved differences are creating distance.

• Staying together solely for external reasons, like children.

• Considering separation as the only solution.

Professional guidance can help you untangle the complexities of your relationship and uncover paths toward resolution and deeper connection.

Item descriptionCollateral Sessions versus Couples/Marriage Counseling

Collateral sessions are individual therapy sessions that focus on one partner’s personal issues, while couples/marriage counseling typically involves both partners working together. Both types of therapy can be beneficial for relationships, depending on the specific needs and challenges of each couple. Our therapists will work with you to determine the best approach for your unique situation.

In a collateral session, one partner may explore their own insecurities or past traumas that are affecting the relationship. This can help improve communication and understanding between the couple and provide insight into how past experiences may be impacting the present dynamic.

In couples/marriage counseling, both partners have an opportunity to communicate their feelings and concerns in a safe and supportive environment.

Does our insurance pay for couples counseling?

Unfortunately, couples counseling is not typically covered by insurance. However, some insurance plans may cover individual therapy sessions for specific mental health concerns or issues related to the relationship. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to see if they offer coverage for these types of services.

At Stafford & Associates Counseling, PLLC, we believe that investing in your relationship is an investment in yourself and your future. Our affordable rates and flexible payment options make it easier for you to prioritize your relationship and make positive changes together.

Remember, the cost of not addressing underlying issues in your relationship can far outweigh the cost of therapy. Relationship issues can impact every aspect of your life, from your mental and emotional well-being to your physical health and overall quality of life.

Our therapists are dedicated to helping you and your partner build a stronger, healthier relationship. We understand that seeking therapy can be a vulnerable and difficult decision, but we are here to support you every step of the way.
