Couples therapy
Two partners, and the families that come with them
For couples who want to be heard by each other, and by someone who knows what a crowded household sounds like.
Sessions are 80 minutes and begin with each of you saying what you would like from them. Parents, in-laws and children can come up as often as they need to, and your therapist keeps the room fair for both of you. Sessions can be in one language or two.
Emotionally focused therapy

How it is paid
Insurance, self-pay, receipts and a written estimate are explained in one place, and you will see your fee in writing before you start.
How fees workWho you meet
Neeraj or Rafia, depending on language and schedule. You both have a say in who you meet.

Three questions
About couples therapy
Do we both have to come to every session?
Couples sessions are for both partners. If one of you cannot come, tell us ahead of time, and we will talk about whether to meet or to wait.
Can a parent or an in-law come?
Only if you both agree. Some couples invite a family member for one session; many never do.
Do we have to share a first language?
No. We can work in one language, or move between two, if your therapist speaks both.
