Couples Therapy for Cambridge Residents
A couples specialist, working with you by secure video
Couples therapy for Cambridge is by secure video, with sessions that are 90 minutes, virtual, and $750, and the consultation is 30 minutes and $100, applied toward your first session and refunded if I am not the right fit, because I only see couples. Request a private consultation.
Understanding Cambridge Couples
Cambridge is full of people who think for a living, and the couples I see are professors and postdocs, physicians at the teaching hospitals, founders and engineers from Kendall Square, attorneys and researchers. You are often the smartest person in the room at work. At home, a better argument rarely changes the pattern.
When two analytical people hit a wall, they try to reason their way out, or they read another book. You can explain the relationship perfectly and still repeat the same fight in the kitchen. That pattern is the work I do, and couples are the only work I do.
Sessions are on secure video, and there is no parking hunt near Harvard Square, no attempt to line up two impossible calendars around a commute, and no waiting room where a department colleague or a neighbor might see you. You need to be physically in Massachusetts during the session.
Why Cambridge Couples Choose This Practice
Research-Backed Methods
Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method have a serious research record. If you want evidence before you commit, that is a fair thing to ask, and I will answer it.
A Couples-Only Specialist
I do not split the practice across individuals, families, and kids, because couples are the entire focus, including the training I keep doing.
Built for Two Careers
Lab hours, clinical shifts, and startup weeks rarely fit a 50-minute weekday slot, so evening and weekend sessions are 90 minutes.
Genuine Privacy
Cambridge academic and professional circles overlap, and video sessions keep the relationship work out of a waiting room.
Specialized Services for Cambridge Couples
I only work with couples, and here is where I can help.
General Couples Therapy
You can diagram the pattern with unusual precision and still repeat it after the seminar lets out.
Learn More →Infidelity Recovery
We address the betrayal directly, including the responsibility of the person who chose it.
Learn More →Intimacy & Sex Therapy
Two people who can discuss anything at work can still go silent about sex at home.
Learn More →Neurodiverse Couples
When autism or ADHD is part of the relationship, advice that ignores it leaves you both more frustrated, and I am a Certified Neurodiverse Couples Therapist (AANE).
Learn More →Maintenance Therapy
You can start while the relationship still works on paper, and thin is easier to face than a crisis.
Learn More →The Investment
I do not accept insurance, and I can give you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Regular sessions are by secure, HIPAA-compliant video, and you must be physically located in Massachusetts. A weekend intensive can be held in your home.

What Working Together Looks Like
Whether you call it marriage counseling or couples therapy, the work is the same: 90-minute virtual sessions at $750. It begins with a 30-minute consultation at $100, applied toward your first session. If I am not the right fit, I refund the fee. You need to be physically in Massachusetts during appointments, and evening and weekend times are what usually make two Cambridge careers possible.
We begin with a session together, then an individual session with each of you. I want the history of the relationship, the patterns you have both noticed, what you have already tried, and what you want to change. Then I tell you what I see, and we decide where the work goes.
We generally start weekly, so the pattern stays visible while it is still fresh, and as your follow-through at home becomes consistent, we space the sessions out. A 50-minute hour often ends just as something important surfaces, and ninety minutes leaves room to reach a stopping point you choose.
How long therapy takes depends on the work you do between sessions, and some couples come back later for maintenance because they want to. I am also trained in Gottman Method Level 3, Relational Life Therapy, and sex therapy.
Common Questions From Cambridge Couples
Do you keep an office in Cambridge?
Regular sessions are by secure video, which removes the waiting room, the parking near Harvard Square, and the chance of running into someone you know, and I do not keep an office for those meetings.
How much does couples therapy cost in Cambridge?
Sessions are $750 for 90 minutes, while most Cambridge couples therapists charge $150 to $300 for a 50-minute session, so an appointment here costs more and runs 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.
Do you offer in-person sessions in Cambridge?
Regular sessions are by video, even if you live nearby, which removes Cambridge traffic, two hard calendars, and a waiting room, and I do not keep an office for those meetings. A weekend intensive can happen in your home, in Massachusetts or another state where I am licensed.
What approach do you use?
I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, with training in Relational Life Therapy and sex therapy, and Cambridge couples often want the evidence, which these approaches have in a serious research record, and I work only with couples.
Do you work with academic and dual-career couples?
Yes. Cambridge is full of professors, researchers, physicians at the teaching hospitals, and founders in the Kendall Square tech and biotech world, and I know the particular strain of two ambitious careers, lab and startup hours, and partners who are used to being the expert in the room.
Do you take insurance?
I do not accept insurance, and I can give you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
How long does couples therapy take?
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, while some couples come back later for maintenance because they want to.
How do we start?
It starts with a 30-minute consultation at $100, applied toward your first session, where you tell me what is happening, I tell you what I see, and we both decide, and if I am not the right fit I refund the fee. If you go ahead, we begin with a session together, then an individual session with each of you, so I understand the relationship before we decide where to focus.
