affordable couples therapy

Are you concerned about the cost of therapy? You are not alone. The cost is one of the most common reasons we see couples waiting to start therapy. But what if paying for your relationship now helped to avert future heart ache? So, let’s take a look at what affordable couples therapy is as well as how it can help.

1. What “affordable” actually means
Affordable doesn’t simply mean cheap. There are lots of clinics that offer sliding scale options or use extended health benefits. At Mind Matters, we provide a range of options to find a therapy solution.

2. What to expect in therapy
During your first few sessions, the therapist will spend time getting to know you both, learning about your goals as a couple, and identifying patterns in your relationship. You will learn different tools that will help you communicate better, manage conflict, and re-create intimacy.

3. The real benefits of therapy
Couples therapy is not simply about solving problems; it is about improving your relationship. Couples have reported feeling more emotionally connected, feeling understood, and feeling more joyful in their relationship.

At Mind Matters Counselling, we believe that quality therapy should be accessible to couples in our community. Find out more about our affordable therapy options today.
