Benefits Of Couples Counseling

Couples counseling offers hope and concrete help for your relationship. Here are some of the key benefits you can expect:

Improve Communication

Many couples struggle with misunderstanding each other. We’ll teach you active listening and honest expression skills so you both feel heard. Better communication leads to fewer misunderstandings and a deeper connection.

Adjust To Life Changes

From career moves to having kids, life changes can put strain on a relationship. We help Aurora couples navigate transitions as a team, ensuring you stay aligned and supportive through new challenges. Instead of drifting apart, you’ll learn to face changes hand-in-hand.

Healthier Conflict Resolution

Every couple disagrees sometimes – it’s how you handle it that matters. In therapy, you’ll learn positive conflict resolution strategies to address disagreements without yelling, stonewalling, or hurtful words. You can turn fights into productive discussions and even opportunities for growth.

Explore The Future

In every relationship, it's essential to have shared goals and visions for the future. Our counseling sessions encourage couples to explore their individual aspirations and work together to build a shared vision. This process can foster a sense of unity and purpose.

Rekindle Intimacy & Connection

It’s common for affection and closeness to fade with time or stress. We’ll work on rekindling both emotional and physical intimacy – whether that means carving out quality time, rediscovering shared interests, or simply learning to be vulnerable and affectionate again. You can rediscover that spark and warmth.

Strengthen The Relationship

Overall, couples counseling will strengthen the foundation of your relationship. You’ll develop greater understanding, mutual respect, and shared goals for the future. This stronger foundation means you can weather future storms more easily. Many couples even find their overall happiness and life satisfaction improve as their relationship improves!

Frequently Asked Questions

At South Denver Therapy, we don't bill insurance directly for couples counseling because insurance typically requires a mental health diagnosis and limits therapy approaches, which aren't always appropriate for relationship-focused care. Instead, we operate as a private-pay practice, giving us the freedom to customize treatment specifically to your needs as a couple.
We've partnered with Mentaya—a convenient tool available on our website—to help you easily check if your insurance offers out-of-network reimbursement. Additionally, we can provide you with a detailed superbill to submit claims on your own, and we accept payments via HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA cards.
Our couples counseling sessions are $215 for 60 minutes. We’ll work together to determine the session frequency that suits your relationship goals. While therapy is an investment, 94% of couples report it's worth it for the improvements it brings to their relationship. We're committed to helping you achieve meaningful, lasting results that make your investment worthwhile.
Most couples start with weekly sessions of about 60 minutes each. Consistent weekly meetings help build momentum and keep progress on track. That said, we can adjust the schedule to bi-weekly or another interval if needed—we’ll discuss what works best for you both. The duration of counseling varies: some couples with a specific concern may attend for only a few months, while others with deeper or multiple issues might benefit from therapy lasting six months to a year or longer. It truly depends on your unique goals and circumstances. Research shows the average length of marriage counseling is approximately 11-12 sessions, but this isn't a fixed rule. We'll regularly check in on your progress to ensure therapy stays aligned with your needs. Also, expect some helpful "homework" between sessions—such as practicing communication skills or reading brief articles—to further support your growth. Remember, you set the pace, and we’re here to guide you for as long as it's helpful.
Yes, absolutely. We understand Aurora couples have busy schedules and that weekly travel to Castle Rock isn’t always convenient, so we offer secure online counseling sessions. All you need is a private space and an internet connection to access therapy through our HIPAA-compliant video platform. Our virtual couples counseling provides the same quality of care, privacy, and interactive experience as meeting in person. Many couples find online sessions comfortable and engaging—you can have meaningful conversations from your own living room. Virtual sessions are especially helpful if your schedules are busy or if you travel frequently. We’ve successfully helped numerous couples across Colorado through virtual therapy. Whether you prefer online or in-person sessions, our priority is supporting you and your relationship in the way that suits you best. We’re also happy to combine virtual and in-person sessions to accommodate your needs. Our goal is flexibility and accessibility, making relationship support seamless for you. Still have questions?
