For couples whose faith is central to how they understand their relationship, Christian marriage counseling integrates Biblical principles alongside clinical work in a way that feels coherent rather than bolted on.
Every therapist at Olive Branch is a Christian. Faith can be woven into the work as much or as little as you want. If you'd prefer to keep sessions secular, that's respected without question.
Sessions run $95 to $150. Olive Branch is out of network with insurance, and most major plans don't reimburse for couples counseling since it doesn't require an individual psychiatric diagnosis. Superbills are available if you'd like to submit for possible reimbursement through your plan.
Payment is accepted by cash, check, HSA, and all major credit cards. The practice also works with local churches and has third-party payer arrangements in place for congregations that want to help members access care.
Yes, and it happens more often than you'd expect. One partner being hesitant doesn't mean the work won't move. A skilled therapist can hold that dynamic from the start, and it often shifts once both people are in the room together.
Most couples notice real change within six to twelve sessions, though that varies depending on what you're working through. Couples addressing a specific issue like communication tend to move faster than those working through infidelity or years of disconnection. Your therapist will give you a clearer sense of timeline once they understand your situation.
No. Some couples come in when things feel manageable but want to build better patterns before problems deepen. Relationship enrichment and premarital counseling are both available at Olive Branch for couples who want to strengthen what's already working.
The first session is mostly a conversation. Your therapist will ask about your history, what's been hard, and what you're hoping for. You won't be pushed to do anything you're not ready for. You'll leave with a clearer sense of what the work ahead actually looks like.
You don't have to have it figured out before you call. New clients typically get scheduled within a week, and the easiest way to get started is through the contact us page, where someone from the office will follow up to answer questions and find a time that works.
