Why People Come to Couples Therapy

You might be:

  • Feeling stuck in unproductive communication or frequent misunderstandings

  • Struggling to rebuild trust after a breach or betrayal

  • Navigating life transitions like moving in together, marriage, opening up your relationship, or parenthood

  • Feeling emotionally distant, disconnected, or unsure of how to reconnect

  • Facing conflicts that feel repetitive or unresolved

Many of our couples are also juggling the demands of work, family, and personal lives, and are looking for a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect in a healthier, more meaningful way.

Frequently Asked Questions about Couples Therapy in California

  • Couples therapy helps partners strengthen connection, improve communication, and navigate challenges together. At Stillpoint Therapy Collective, our therapists work with couples in all stages — from dating to long-term partnerships — to explore patterns, repair ruptures, and rediscover closeness.


    We support couples working through conflict, disconnection, major life transitions, parenting, intimacy struggles, infidelity, and more. Our approach is trauma-informed and relational — helping you understand not just what happens between you, but why and how to shift patterns that may no longer be working.

  • Yes. Many of our therapists specialize in LGBTQ+ and queer-affirming couples therapy for all relationship structures, including monogamous, open, and polyamorous partnerships.
    We recognize how identity, gender, sexuality, and social context shape relationships. Our therapists create space for each partner’s lived experience — helping you build connection and safety rooted in authenticity.


    We offer virtual sessions anywhere in California and in-person therapy in San Francisco and the Bay Area, as well as Los Angeles.

  • The process starts with a free consultation call to help you find a therapist who’s a good fit. Your therapist will then meet with you (together or individually at first) to learn more about your relationship history, communication styles, and what you each hope to change or strengthen.


    Sessions are typically weekly or biweekly, with each meeting offering space for reflection, practice, and skill-building.


    Our approach integrates somatic therapy, attachment theory, and trauma-informed care, helping you move from reactivity to understanding, and from disconnection to repair.

  • Absolutely. Online couples therapy can be just as effective as in-person work — especially for couples in different locations or with busy schedules.

    Our therapists are licensed to provide virtual therapy anywhere in California, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, and beyond.


    Many couples find that meeting from home creates a sense of comfort and openness that supports deeper work.

  • It depends on your goals and the issues you’re exploring. Some couples find meaningful change in a few months; others benefit from ongoing support as they deepen communication and trust.
    During your consultation, your therapist can help you set expectations and create a plan that feels sustainable for both of you.

  • Yes — and it’s often the best time to start. Couples therapy isn’t just for conflict or disconnection; it can also be a space to grow together, prepare for transitions like marriage or parenthood, explore opening your relationship, or strengthen communication and emotional intimacy.
    Think of therapy as tending to the health of your relationship, not just fixing what’s broken.

  • Session fees vary by therapist, typically ranging from $180–$250 per session. Some clinicians offer limited sliding scale spots.


    We’re an out-of-network provider, but can provide superbills for insurance reimbursement. We’ll help you understand your options during your consultation call.

  • The most important factor in therapy is fit. During your free consultation call, you’ll get a sense of your therapist’s style and approach. We encourage you to ask questions like:

    • “How do you support couples when one partner is more withdrawn or avoidant?”

    • “What’s your experience with queer and nontraditional relationships?”

    • “How do you handle conflict in the therapy room?”
      If it’s not a match, we’ll happily connect you with another therapist on our team who may be a better fit.

  • Yes. We work with couples preparing for marriage, exploring next steps like living together or having children, and navigating open or polyamorous relationships.


    Our goal is to help you build a foundation of communication, trust, and mutual care — whatever your relationship structure looks like.

  • Our practice offers virtual couples therapy across California, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, Berkeley, Santa Monica, and the greater Bay Area.
    We also have in-person sessions available in San Francisco and Santa Monica, depending on therapist availability.
