We Understand What You're Going Through
Many people in Mesa struggle with the same challenges
Sleeping in the same bed but miles apart?
You used to be best friends. Now you're roommates who argue about dishes. The silence between you is louder than any fight.
Trust broken, connection shattered?
Something happened that changed everything. Now you're both walking on eggshells, wondering if the relationship can survive—or if it should.
Every conversation turns into a fight?
You start talking about dinner and end up rehashing that thing from 3 years ago. Communication has become a minefield, and you're both stepping on triggers.
Pushing people away before they can hurt you?
You've built walls so high you can't remember what's on the other side. Connection feels dangerous. Vulnerability feels like weakness.

Got Questions About Couples Therapy?
Everything you need to know about our couples therapy services in Mesa.
Can we do individual sessions alongside couples therapy?
It depends on the situation. Sometimes individual work complements couples therapy; other times it can complicate the process. We'll discuss what makes sense for your unique situation during your consultation.
How does telehealth therapy work?
You'll connect with your therapist via secure, HIPAA-compliant video from any private location. All you need is a device with a camera and a stable internet connection. Most clients use their phone, tablet, or computer from the comfort of home.
What happens in the first session?
Your first session is about getting to know you. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what you hope to achieve. There's no pressure—it's a conversation, not an interrogation. You'll also have time to ask questions and see if we're the right fit.
How long does therapy typically take?
It varies by person and concern. Some clients see meaningful progress in 8-12 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly check in on your goals and progress so you're always in control of your journey.
Do you accept insurance?
We operate on a self-pay model, which means no insurance hassles, no claims to file, and no surprise bills. Many clients prefer this for privacy (sessions don't go on your medical record) and simplicity. We offer transparent, competitive rates with flexible payment options.
How much does therapy cost?
Session rates vary by therapist and service type. We offer straightforward pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for current rates—we're happy to discuss payment options and ensure you can access the care you need.
