In a rare cases, usually due to one or both partners not attending a session or completing any assignments, it make take an additional session or two.
The goal however, is to help you gain clarity on your next step(s) and the confidence to take those steps, in the shortest time possible.

The series of 5 sessions costs $525 when paid in one installment. Sessions do not expire. Single sessions are otherwise $150 each
What If I Don't Use All My Sessions?
If you reach clarity and do not need all 5 sessions, congratulations. We love that when that happens. If you do not need all 5 sessions you can save gift a session to someone else, use a pre-paid session for other services like mediation or a one to one session or save them for a later date. Your pre-paid sessions do not expire.
If both parties are committed to the relationship, we believe that most struggling marriages can be saved.
But, we also recognize that for a variety of reason that there are many times when the best thing is to dissolve the relationship.
Each situation is unique and we honor what is unique about each couple and their situation.
