Services
Every couple hits rough spots. Maybe you keep having the same argument, or you feel more like roommates than partners. Couples therapy gives you both a calm place to talk it through. We meet in person in Virginia Beach or online.
“Meaningful change begins with understanding the experiences, relationships, and influences that shape our lives.”
Trust can wear down after an affair, a hidden secret, or years of small hurts. Talking often gets harder too. Some couples end up avoiding certain topics, while others say things they regret. In marriage counseling, you’ll learn to listen better and speak more clearly. We’ll also work on rebuilding trust at a pace that feels manageable for both of you.
We see couples in Virginia Beach and online. It’s a good fit whether you’re married, engaged, or dating. You don’t need to be on the edge of a breakup to come in.
“Growth begins when we make space to understand our story with curiosity, compassion, and courage.”

Why Choose Us
Many couples wait a long time before they ask for help. That’s normal. Still, it often helps to start before things get worse.
At Sequoia, sessions focus on what’s happening in your relationship right now. Common concerns include:
If your situation isn’t on the list, that’s fine. Bring what’s on your mind.
No two couples are the same. So, we don’t use a script.
Your therapist will start by learning your story. How did you meet? What’s changed? What does each of you want from therapy? From there, you’ll shape goals that fit your relationship.
You’ll likely leave sessions with small things to try at home. These might be a new way to start a hard talk or a habit that helps you reconnect.
Your therapist is licensed and has worked with couples in a range of situations. That includes people who feel stuck, hurt, or unsure if the relationship can work.
Your therapist won’t take sides. Instead, the goal is to help both of you understand each other better. Sometimes that leads to a stronger bond. Sometimes it helps you decide on next steps with more clarity.
Want to know more before you book? Feel free to ask about your therapist’s background when you reach out.
Talking about your relationship can feel awkward at first. That’s expected.
Our office is private and comfortable. Prefer to stay home? Online sessions work too, as long as you both have a quiet spot and a steady connection.
You won’t be pushed to share more than you’re ready to. Your therapist will set a steady pace, and you can slow things down any time. Everything you share stays confidential, with the limits the law requires.
Insurance Coverage
If the same problems keep coming back, it may be worth trying. The same goes for feeling disconnected or unable to talk without a fight. You don’t need to hit a crisis first.
Most sessions include both partners. That said, some couples also add an individual session. Your therapist can talk through what makes sense for you.
Yes. Many couples find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week. You can also switch between online and in-person if that works better.
It depends on your goals and what you’re facing. Some couples notice a shift within a few weeks. Others stay longer to work through deeper issues. Your therapist will check in with you along the way.
That’s common. You can start with an individual session to talk it over. Sometimes a partner feels more open once they know what to expect.
Yes, with a few legal exceptions, such as a risk of harm. Your therapist will explain this at the start.
Taking the first step can feel hard. Even so, reaching out is often the most useful move you can make.
