Couples Therapy
What is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy is a confidential space for two partners to understand patterns, improve how you relate, and make thoughtful choices about the relationship. With a trained therapist, you gain clarity about the relationship, practice clearer communication, repair after conflict, and learn ways to stay connected under stress. The aim is better understanding, healthier interactions, and a path that fits both of you.
Common Goals
-
Communication: Speak and listen with more clarity and care.
-
Repair after conflict: Slow down cycles, take accountability, and recover faster.
-
Trust and boundaries: Rebuild after hurts and set agreements you can keep.
-
Intimacy: Strengthen emotional and physical closeness at a safe pace.
-
Life transitions: Navigate moves, parenting, career stress, or caregiving as a team.
-
Discernment: Decide whether to stay together or to separate with respect and minimal harm.
-
Cross-cultural understanding: Honor differences in values, family norms, and identities.
What to Expect at Roiya
-
Free consultation: A 15–30 minute conversation with both partners to review logistics and goals.
-
Intake and onboarding: We map your relationship timeline, strengths, stuck patterns, and hopes. For complex situations, one or two follow-up intake sessions may be useful.
-
Plan of care: Together we choose a focus—repair-focused work or a clarity track if you are deciding whether to stay or separate—and set simple markers of progress.
-
Session format and cadence: Sessions are typically 60 or 90 minutes, weekly or biweekly based on need.
-
Where and how we meet: Sessions are available in person or online using a private, HIPAA-compliant platform.
-
How we work in session: Brief check-in, guided practice (structured dialogues, role plays, and regulation skills), clear takeaways, and grounded closure.
-
Between-session practice: Short experiments and micro-rituals to apply at home, like repair steps, check-ins, and connection time.
-
Therapeutic stance: Non-blaming, trauma-responsive, and culturally attuned. Each partner’s voice and pace matter.

We accept selected insurance plans in California and can verify your benefits. If we are out of network, we can submit claims on your behalf and many PPO plans reimburse. Limited sliding-scale spots may be available, especially for clients with out-of-network HMOs.
