Finding Hope: Couples Therapy for Veterans and Their Partners

As a veteran, returning to civilian life can be a challenging and overwhelming experience. Adjusting to a new routine, dealing with emotions from combat, and coping with physical injuries can make the transition difficult. If you are a veteran and you are experiencing relationship problems with your partner, you are not alone. Many veterans and their partners struggle with the transition to civilian life and the impact it can have on their relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is couples therapy covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover couples therapy. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to see if couples therapy is covered under your plan.

How long does couples therapy last?

The length of couples therapy can vary depending on the needs of the couple. Some couples may see progress in just a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. Our therapists will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs.

What if my partner is hesitant about couples therapy?

It is common for one partner to be hesitant about couples therapy. We encourage both partners to be open and honest about their concerns. Our therapists are trained to work with couples who may be hesitant about couples therapy and can provide support and guidance throughout the process. We also offer individual therapy for those who may want to work on their own before starting couples therapy.
