How Couples Therapy Works at CEREVITY
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Both partners complete our secure intake forms and schedule your first joint session. We'll match you with a couples therapist whose expertise aligns with your relationship needs.
Step 2: Relationship Assessment
Your therapist conducts a comprehensive relationship assessment, explores each partner's perspective, identifies interaction patterns, and clarifies presenting concerns. Brief individual sessions may be scheduled as needed.
Step 3: Treatment Planning
Together, you'll develop a structured treatment plan with clear relationship goals, communication agreements, and strategies for measuring progress.
Step 4: Regular Joint Sessions
Engage in weekly or bi-weekly sessions via secure video platform. Sessions are typically 50 minutes but can be extended to 90 minutes for deeper work. Both partners attend sessions together, with occasional individual sessions when clinically indicated.
Step 5: Skills Building & Practice
Learn and practice essential relationship skills—active listening, conflict de-escalation, emotional validation, and effective repair. Homework assignments support skill transfer to daily life.
Step 6: Progress Monitoring
Your therapist regularly evaluates relationship progress, adjusts interventions as needed, and ensures treatment remains aligned with your evolving goals.
Step 7: Completion & Maintenance
When goals are achieved, you'll collaboratively plan for termination or transition to periodic maintenance sessions to sustain relationship health and address emerging challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does couples therapy typically last?
Treatment duration varies based on your relationship goals and presenting concerns. Many couples see meaningful improvement in 12-20 sessions, while others engage in longer-term therapy. Crisis situations like affair recovery may require 6-12 months or more. Your therapist will provide an estimated timeline during your initial assessment.
What if only one partner wants therapy?
While couples therapy is most effective when both partners are committed, we can work with motivated individuals to improve relationship dynamics. Individual therapy can help you develop communication skills, set boundaries, and gain clarity on your relationship needs. We can also explore strategies for inviting your partner into the therapeutic process.
Do you accept insurance for couples therapy?
CEREVITY operates on a private-pay model to ensure maximum privacy and clinical flexibility. We provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Note that many insurance plans have limited or no coverage for couples therapy (relationship issues without a DSM diagnosis), but we can help you explore options through platforms like Thrizer.
Is online couples therapy as effective as in-person?
Research demonstrates that telehealth couples therapy produces comparable outcomes to in-person treatment. Many couples find online therapy more accessible, less logistically challenging, and conducive to consistent attendance. The privacy of your own space can also facilitate more open communication.
Can we do individual sessions in addition to couples therapy?
Yes. Your couples therapist may schedule brief individual sessions as part of the assessment or to address specific issues (such as trauma history or personal mental health concerns). For ongoing individual therapy, we typically recommend working with a separate therapist to maintain appropriate boundaries and avoid conflicts of interest.
How do we know if our relationship can be saved?
Your therapist will help you explore this question together during the assessment and early treatment phases. Factors like both partners' commitment to change, willingness to take responsibility, and ability to implement new skills all influence prognosis. Some couples come to therapy seeking clarity on whether to stay or leave—and therapy can facilitate that discernment process.

"My partner and I were at a breaking point. We'd tried talking on our own, but kept falling into the same patterns. CEREVITY's couples therapist gave us tools we actually use—better listening, fair fighting, and ways to reconnect emotionally. We're not perfect, but we're so much stronger now."
