Understanding Boston Couples
The Boston couples I work with are physicians at Mass General and the Brigham, attorneys in the Financial District, founders and engineers in the Seaport, professors and researchers who carry the work home. You have built an impressive life, and the relationship is often the part that gets whatever energy is left after everyone else is handled.
How long has it felt this way? The same drive that works in a hospital or a firm can make asking for help feel unfamiliar. You are accustomed to solving hard problems, and a relationship does not yield to working harder alone, and another date night will not touch the pattern underneath.
I only see couples, and sessions are 90 minutes, long enough to get past the surface, on secure video so a packed Boston week is not the reason you put this off again. I will tell you what I see, including your contribution to the dynamic you want to change.
Why Virtual Works for Boston Couples
No Commute, No Parking
Skip Storrow Drive, the Pike at rush hour, and the search for a garage downtown. Log in from home, or from a call room, once you can close the door and you are physically in Massachusetts.
Real Privacy
Boston's professional world is smaller than it looks, and no waiting room means no colleague, client, or neighbor from your building in the next chair.
Schedule Flexibility
Evening and weekend appointments can sit beside hospital shifts, court calendars, and travel. A smaller caseload means I can usually move a session when something urgent comes up.
Specialist-Level Care
I only work with couples, and I have done this for more than 20 years. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method Level 3, Relational Life Therapy, and sex therapy.

Marriage Counseling in Boston: What to Expect
Marriage counseling in Boston is virtual couples therapy: 90-minute sessions by secure video with a therapist licensed in Massachusetts whose entire practice is couples. Each session is $750, and evening and weekend appointments are available. You begin with a $100 consultation that applies toward the first session. Whether you call it marriage counseling or couples therapy, the work uses Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method tools, aimed at the cycle the two of you are caught in.
We generally start weekly, so the pattern stays visible while you practice something different at home. As that follow-through becomes consistent, we space the sessions out. How long therapy takes depends on the work you do between sessions.
For Boston couples, the format is often what makes it possible. One of you can join from a hospital call room or a downtown office, the other from home, as long as both of you are physically in Massachusetts. Nobody fights the Pike at rush hour for a 6 in the evening appointment, and nobody sits in a waiting room wondering who might walk in.
Common Questions From Boston Couples
Do you have an office in Boston?
Regular sessions are virtual. Boston couples meet by secure video, so there is no parking in the Financial District, no Storrow Drive commute after work, and no waiting room where a colleague might walk in. I do not keep an office for those sessions, though a weekend intensive can be held in your home.
How much does couples therapy cost in Boston?
Sessions are $750 for 90 minutes. Boston-area couples therapy typically runs $150 to $300 for a 50-minute session, so an appointment here costs more and lasts nearly twice as long. You start with a 30-minute consultation at $100, applied toward the first session and refunded if I am not the right fit, and I do not accept insurance, though I can give you a superbill.
What areas of Boston do you serve?
Because sessions are virtual, I work with couples anywhere in the city and the surrounding metro: Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End, Seaport, Jamaica Plain, Charlestown, and the inner suburbs from Brookline to Newton, and you need to be physically located in Massachusetts during our sessions.
Do you take insurance?
I do not accept insurance, and I can give you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
What kind of couples therapy do you offer?
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, along with Relational Life Therapy and sex therapy training, and I see couples only, which is the entire practice.
How quickly can we be seen?
I keep a deliberately small caseload, so evening appointments can work around demanding Boston careers. The $100 consultation is where we both decide whether the fit is right, and if I am not the right fit I refund it.
Do you offer marriage counseling in Boston?
Yes. Marriage counseling and couples therapy are the same work in this practice: 90-minute virtual sessions, with a therapist licensed in Massachusetts who sees couples only. Couples anywhere in the Boston area can begin with a $100 consultation that applies toward the first session, and if I am not the right fit I refund it.
How long does couples therapy take for Boston couples?
How long therapy takes depends on how much work you do between sessions, and we generally start weekly, then space the sessions out as those changes hold, because a 90-minute session gives us time to get into what is actually happening.
Can we do sessions if one of us travels for work?
Yes, when each of you is physically in Massachusetts during the session. One of you might join from a hotel in the state and the other from home in Boston, but an office outside Massachusetts does not work, and evening and weekend times fit a travel week once you are back.
