What couples work on here

Most couples who call us are not in crisis. They are tired of having the same conversation without getting anywhere, or they feel more like roommates than partners, and they want that to change before it hardens into something worse. Others come after a real break in trust, and some simply want to start their marriage on solid footing.

Communication and conflict

Learning to argue in a way that gets somewhere. Understanding the pattern under the fights, and how each of you can step out of it.

Rebuilding trust

When something has broken trust, rebuilding takes structure, honesty, and a counselor who can hold steady with both of you in the room.

Reconnecting

Busy seasons, kids, work, and stress pull couples into parallel lives. Counseling makes deliberate space to find each other again.

Premarital counseling

For engaged couples who want to build a healthy foundation before saying I do. Money, family, faith, expectations, and how you will handle hard seasons together.

Faith and marriage

If your faith matters to your marriage, it can be thoughtfully woven into the work. If that is not your path, your counseling stays fully professional and clinical either way.

Questions couples ask us

My spouse is not sure about counseling. Can I come alone?

Yes. It is common for one partner to start first, and individual work on the relationship still helps the relationship. Many hesitant spouses join after the first few sessions, once it stops being an unknown.

How much does marriage counseling cost?

With insurance, your cost is your plan's copay or coinsurance, and we will verify it before your first session. Self-pay starts at $125 per session. Either way you will know the number up front.

How long does it take?

Every couple is different, and you are never locked in. Many couples work with us for roughly eight to twelve sessions. You and your counselor will set a rhythm, usually weekly at first, and adjust as things improve.

Is this faith-based counseling?

Only if you want it to be. Faith is woven in as much or as little as each couple wants, so couples who want it in the room get it taken seriously. Couples who prefer a fully secular approach get exactly that.

Do you offer counseling in Spanish?

Yes. Sugey Duarte, LPC, is a native Spanish speaker and provides counseling in Spanish, in person or online. Visite nuestra página en español.

Can we verify your licenses?

Please do. Every Texas counselor's license can be verified with the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council at bhec.texas.gov. Our counselors are listed under Pursuing Joy PLLC.
