Couples therapy in Colorado Springs
Not every couple needs, or wants, a four-week intensive. Some want ongoing weekly support as you work through what’s going on between you.
I’m Sarah Post Massey, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Colorado Springs, and I offer both, using the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
What weekly couples therapy looks like
We meet weekly, as a couple, and work through your conflict cycle, attachment patterns, and communication, at a pace that fits around your lives.
Couples sessions are $200, private pay.
You and your partner complete the RDAS, a relationship assessment, as a starting baseline, and we revisit it periodically to see where things actually stand.
Weekly or intensive
If you want concentrated, focused time instead of an open-ended weekly commitment, my Couples Intensive runs two 90-minute sessions a week for four weeks, for $2,000, with a $500 weekly payment plan.
Is this the right fit?
Weekly couples therapy tends to fit if you want steady, ongoing support rather than a defined block of intensive work, or if you’re not sure yet how deep the work needs to go and want to find out together, one session at a time.
A consultation is a short call to talk through where things stand and whether weekly sessions or the intensive fits better.
Questions about couples therapy
-
Pace and structure. Weekly therapy moves over an open timeline, a session at a time. The intensive is a defined four-week program for couples who want concentrated progress on a specific goal.
-
Sometimes. If something in your individual history is getting triggered inside the relationship, I may recommend individual EMDR sessions alongside the couples work, the same as in the intensive format.
-
No. PostScript is a private pay practice. You’ll receive a Good Faith Estimate of costs before your first session.
