Answers to Common Questions

What can I expect in the first session of marriage and couples counseling?

In the first session, your therapist will likely ask about your relationship history, challenges you're facing, and your goals for therapy. It's a chance for both of you to express your feelings and for the therapist to understand how best to help you.

Will our counselor take sides?

A skilled counselor is trained to remain neutral, providing a balanced perspective and support to both partners. Their role is to facilitate healing and understanding, not to take sides.

Can we go to counseling if we're not married?

Absolutely. Couples counseling is for any couple, married or not, who seeks to improve their relationship and resolve conflicts.

What are the costs associated with counseling or therapy sessions at Foundations?

At Foundations, each counseling or therapy session is $200. Your first consultation is always free, and you are able to meet with as many counselors as you need until you find the perfect match.

Does Foundations accept Insurance?

Foundations will provide any necessary documentation for you to submit for reimbursement with your insurance company. This approach ensures greater privacy, avoids mandatory diagnoses, offers more therapist choices, and promotes tailored session lengths, facilitating a personalized therapeutic experience without external constraints or documentation shared with insurance companies.

What if I need to reschedule my counseling session?

There is no charge for any session cancelled at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time.

Are you available in the evenings or on weekends?

Foundations offers flexible early morning, daytime, evening, and Saturday appointments. Please contact us at 970-227-2770 to arrange a session that fits your schedule.

What if my partner refuses to attend?

It's beneficial if both partners participate, but individual therapy can also be a good start. Sometimes, seeing one partner engage in therapy can encourage the other to join later.

Is marriage therapy effective?

Yes, many couples experience significant improvements in their relationships through therapy. Success largely depends on the couple's willingness to work on their relationship and apply the strategies learned in therapy.

Will our sessions be confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental principle in therapy. What you discuss in sessions is not shared outside, except under specific circumstances mandated by law, such as imminent risk of harm.

Can marriage counseling help if we're already considering divorce?

Yes, it can. Counseling provides a space to explore the root causes of problems and can either help couples reconcile or part ways more amicably, understanding the breakdown of their relationship.

How long does each Counseling session last?

Foundations offers counseling sessions lasting 50 minutes, with an option for double sessions of 90 minutes but this can vary based on the therapist's approach and the client's needs.

How long will we need to be in Marriage Counseling?

The duration varies for everyone. Some people find relief in 8-10 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term treatment. It depends on individual goals and progress. According to the American Psychological Association 50% of people in therapy feel a sense of recovery and healing after 15-20 sessions.
