Understanding

What Is Couples Therapy?

At Healing Well Therapy Services, we use evidence-based approaches to ensure you receive the most effective care available. Our therapists are trained in Gottman Method, EMDR, and will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.

Whether you prefer in-person sessions at our Abilene office or secure telehealth from the comfort of your home, we are here to support your journey. All sessions are available in both English and Spanish.

Our Approach

The Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy developed from over 40 years of research on what makes relationships succeed or fail. Rather than relying on intuition alone, this method gives therapists a scientifically validated roadmap for understanding where a relationship is struggling and what specific interventions will help.

At Healing Well, we use the Gottman Method to help couples move from conflict and disconnection to understanding and closeness.

Build Love Maps

Understanding your partner's inner world -- their fears, dreams, stressors, and joys. Love Maps are the foundation of a deep, emotionally intelligent relationship.

Nurture Fondness & Admiration

Strengthening the respect, affection, and appreciation in your relationship. Couples who maintain a habit of scanning for things to appreciate build a positive perspective.

Turn Toward

Responding to your partner's bids for emotional connection. Every day, partners make small bids for attention, affection, and support. Turning toward these bids is one of the most powerful predictors of relationship longevity.

Manage Conflict

Turning gridlock into productive dialogue. The goal is not to eliminate conflict but to learn to manage it constructively -- softening startups, accepting influence, and finding compromise.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does couples therapy take?

The length varies depending on the complexity of the issues and your goals. Most couples begin to see meaningful progress within 8 to 20 sessions. Some couples continue with less frequent maintenance sessions afterward.

How much does couples therapy cost?

Session fees depend on the type and length of session. We offer a sliding scale for clients who demonstrate financial need. We also provide superbills for potential out-of-network insurance reimbursement.

Do you accept insurance?

We are currently an out-of-network provider. We provide superbills after each session that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many PPO plans reimburse 50-80% of session costs.

What if my partner does not want to come?

It is common for one partner to be hesitant. You can begin with individual therapy focused on your experience within the relationship. Often, when one partner begins making positive changes, the other becomes more open to joining.

Can we do couples therapy online?

Yes. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions for couples therapy, available to anyone located in the state of Texas. Research shows online couples therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy.
