Making Therapy Affordable
Almost everyone is going through more difficult financial times then they can ever remember, and when our relationship is in trouble as well , it places additional stress on us. To handle this important issue, I have developed four ways that we can work together to try and minimize the cost and for it to be more affordable for your budget.
Firstly, I have asked several therapists to join me, their fees range from $60 (25 minute session) to $185 (50 minute session), depending on which therapist you see.

Traditional Session $185 (50 minutes)

Secondly, you can see your therapist every other week and this can also help reduce your expenses.
Thirdly, whenever possible, we try and focus on short term work. My average number of sessions for couples range from 7 to 9 meetings. In certain situations it could take fewer or more sessions. The more you work on the process the greater our progress.
Fourthly, as therapy progresses our meetings are further apart, which both tests how well things are going and spaces out the payment.
We also accept credit and debit cards.
Remember that when all is said and done, it’s not the expense of counseling– it’s what it costs if you lose the person you love, and that becomes expensive both emotionally and financially.
There is one more way to help make therapy affordable by progressing more quickly and delving into the problems in a more intense time wise way. Even though initially Intensive Jumpstart Sessions are more expensive (two sessions), we can tackle the biggest problems first and still have time to move along to the other issues. This can help us move forward much more rapidly and it becomes worth the investment. To learn more

Me & my fiancce r having problems! I cheated on her in the summer of 2011. I prepose to her in December! But she’s still bringing up the issue of me cheating! How can we surive?
Relationships can be saved even after being unfaithful, but it would be advisable to seek outside help to deal with anger and trust issues, and other things
that may also be causing problems. If you care about the relationship, you have find a resource to help you understand and get the skills to stop this from having this
happen again.
My husband and I have been married 10 years. But for the last 6 months, he has been saying we don’t get along, and he’s not happy and he’s tired of fighting with me(because he has started drinking ALOT). Is this marriage worth saving?
Dear Bec,
Only you know the answer to that question. To find the right answer, ask your self “Do I still love him?”
If the answer is “yes”, then run don’t walk to a counselor that has experience with drinking issues and ask for help.
Take care and good luck,
Dr. Marty
my husband and i have communicating n understanding issues alot has come about sense weve been married he tends to loose his temper on certain issues to one point where he got violent
Hi Lee,
To answer your question more fully it would be helpful to know three things:
1) How ofter does this happen?
2) What does he do when he get’s violent?
3) What do you do when he is violent?
Looking forward to your answer so I can respond to your concern.

Hi Dr MArty,I face the same problem with my husband,to answere your 3 questions,A1-initially happened once in a few months, then once in a month & now every week or every other day.A2-he gets very mad at me after 5-10 mins of talking,doesn’t want to listen to what I have to say,easily comes to wrong conclusions & then gets violent,physically throwing me or striking me.A3-I used to be shocked initially & get very depressed but last 2-3 years have started getting mad at him for the way he is treating me which rises my temper & this doesn’t quieten him & problem gets worse.We are married 16 years & am at my breaking point now willing to give up if not for my sons.He is not willing to come for councelling.
Dear Jha,
At this point the ball is in your court. You have 3 choices:
1. You can stay in the relationship and just reconcile yourself that this is the way he is going to be.
This is a dangerous choice because things usually get worse at everyone is at risk.
2. You can separate or file for divorce or if you can’t do either (divorce or accept)
3. You should talk to a professional counselor to help you figure out what to do next.
The next move is yours, remember even not deciding is making a decision.
