What Our Counseling & Coaching Clients Say...

Overall Rating 5, 10 reviews on Google

I’ve gone through several counselors and was about ready to give up when a friend referred me to one of the counselors here. My life has truly changed as a result of the help I received. Don’t give up…not all counseling is the same. I just wish I would have called them years ago. The investment I made in myself was well worth every penny.

I met with Brian off and on for about 8 years. Great experience and he helped me develop the mental, emotional and spiritual tools I needed to succeed in life. He also helped me see my relationship with others from a very different perspective. Great experience and he’s been a great counselor through the years.

Concerns about Couples therapy

Frequently Asked Questions About Marriage Counseling

Marriage counseling isn’t just for struggling relationships. It can benefit both strong and rocky marriages. If you and your spouse are experiencing frequent fights and miscommunications, an unbiased third party can help you both see things differently and develop a strategy to move forward together.

During marriage counseling at Directions Counseling and Coaching in Columbus, Ohio, expect a safe, non-judgmental space to express thoughts and feelings. Our tailored approach uses evidence-based techniques like EFT, CBT, Gottman Method, and Solution-focused therapy to help couples understand each other better and work towards their goals.

The duration and number of couples therapy sessions vary based on your specific needs and goals. Some couples improve in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term counseling. Typically, after 8-10 sessions, we review your progress to ensure you’re making progress. Remember, the process takes time. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon.

Success depends on both partners’ commitment and participation in therapy and at home. While there are no guarantees, marriage counseling can be a highly effective way to improve communication, resolve conflict, and enhance intimacy.

Couples counseling is rarely covered by insurance. You should contact your insurance company to learn more. Our administrative team is here to help with any questions you might have.

Absolutely. If requested, we can incorporate Christian principles into your marriage counseling sessions. We respect all beliefs and will only include religious elements if they align with your preferences. Learn more about how to get support as a Christian couple here.
