Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Couples Therapy
Every couple is different. Some see significant improvements in just a few sessions or after a weekend workshop. Others benefit from ongoing therapy over several months. Your therapist will create a customized plan based on your specific needs and goals. Many couples report noticeable changes within the first 4-6 sessions.
Individual sessions can still create powerful change. Many Imago therapists work with one partner initially, and often the reluctant partner becomes interested once they see positive changes. The tools you learn can improve your relationship even if only one person is actively engaged at first.
Absolutely not. While Imago is highly effective for couples in crisis, it works equally well for those at any stage from engaged couples building a strong foundation to long-term partners wanting to deepen an already good relationship. Prevention is powerful.
No. At Getting the Love You Want workshops, all exercises are done privately with your partner. You'll never be asked to share personal details with the group. The workshop creates a safe, supportive environment where you work on your relationship privately.
Imago goes deeper than symptom management. It helps you understand the unconscious childhood patterns driving your conflicts, rather than just addressing surface behaviors. You'll learn specific, structured dialogue tools not just insights. The approach is educational, empowering, and focuses on transforming you and your partner into each other's healers.
Yes. Many couples on the brink of separation have found renewed hope and connection through Imago. Even if divorce feels inevitable, Imago can help you make that decision from a place of clarity rather than pain, or help you discover whether your relationship can be saved. There's value in trying before making permanent decisions.
Some insurance plans do cover couples or marriage counseling, though coverage varies widely. Many Imago therapists accept insurance, while others offer sliding scale fees or package rates. Contact therapists directly to discuss payment options, or check with your insurance provider about mental health benefits for relationship counseling.
Sessions typically last 50-90 minutes. Your therapist will guide you through Imago Dialogue exercises, help you understand relationship patterns, and give you specific tools to practice at home. You'll work on real issues in real-time with your therapist's guidance, creating new ways of connecting and communicating.
