COUPLES THERAPY IN RALEIGH, DURHAM, CHAPEL HILL & GARNER
In-person across the Triangle, with online therapy in North Carolina and select other states where our clinicians are licensed.
Stop having the same fight. Start finding your way back to each other.
When conversations keep turning into conflict, or you feel more like roommates than partners, it can be hard to know what to do next. Couples therapy gives you a place to understand the pattern, hear each other differently, and decide how you want to move forward.
The same conversation again
Maybe you talk about the dishes and end up talking about whether either of you feels appreciated. Maybe one of you wants to work things out right now while the other needs space. Or maybe nothing dramatic is happening. You just miss feeling close.
You don’t have to agree on exactly what’s wrong to begin couples therapy. And you don’t have to wait for a breaking point.
what are sessions like?
Your therapist gets to know both of you, what brought you in, and what you hope might be different. You can look at what happens when a conversation gets hard and practice different ways to respond. The goal is to understand the pattern you are both living in, not decide who wins an argument.
A good fit for both of you matters.
It can be hard enough to decide to try couples therapy. Finding someone you both feel comfortable talking to is another step. Tell our Wellness Coordination team what’s been happening, what each of you hopes to work on, and whether you’d prefer to meet in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Garner, or online in North Carolina. We’ll help you explore a therapist match.
Your therapist will make room for both perspectives and help you notice what happens between you when things get hard. You don’t need to agree on who’s “right” before you begin.
Before you schedule
Couples therapy at Third Wave is out of pocket. The fee depends on the clinician and appointment type, and we’ll tell you the exact cost before you book. If you’re considering out-of-network benefits, ask us what documentation we can provide; reimbursement depends on your plan.
You can start by telling us a little about your relationship and where you’d like to meet. We’ll take it from there.
