Practice Information
**Core Relationships makes therapy financially accessible by applying your out-of-network benefits directly to our fee, reducing your out-of-pocket cost by a third or more. We handle all the billing, collect the reimbursement, and all you pay upfront is a copay.**
When your relationship is hurting, you don't just want to cope, you want real change. At Core Relationships, the team treats the whole system. The dynamic. The emotional root. The patterns that keep playing out, so you can finally break them.
You might be thinking: "I don't know what else to do." "We're not communicating, we're just surviving." "My relationship feels like it's struggling in every direction." "I've tried therapy before, and it didn't create real change in my life."
Many of the people the practice works with look like they have it all together on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in painful relationship patterns. Core Relationships specializes in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a trauma-informed approach that helps clients process emotions not just intellectually, but in a way they can actually feel.
Whether it's your marriage, your relationship with your child, or the way you relate to yourself, the work goes beyond symptom relief and into the root. The team blends science, wisdom, and humanity to help clients untangle the stuck patterns and build the life and relationships they were meant for.
Don't hesitate to reach out and book your free 15-minute consult call.
FAQS
Why should I choose your practice?
Clients choose Core Relationships because we approach therapy with intention, expertise, and a focus on transformation. Rather than staying on the surface, we help uncover the emotional roots of what’s happening in your relationships and work collaboratively to shift those patterns. Our goal is to help clients move from frustration and disconnection to understanding, stability, and deeper connection in the relationships that matter most.
How does payment work at your practice?
To make therapy more accessible, we provide concierge courtesy out-of-network billing—we’ll submit claims on your behalf and work to help you get the most from your insurance benefits. We also maintain a limited number of sliding scale openings. Our fees range from $175 - $275 depending on the clinician and what type of therapy you are seeking. Group sessions are $65/session.
What are your practice's specialties?
At Core Relationships, we help individuals and couples who feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnection, or relationship patterns that don’t seem to change. Our work focuses on attachment issues, communication challenges, codependency, relationship concerns, and trauma. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based approaches, we help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, strengthen communication, develop healthier boundaries, and rebuild trust and connection. The goal isn’t just to cope—it’s to help you create relationships that feel more secure, supportive, and fulfilling.
What services does your practice offer?
We offer individual, couples, and group therapy to support clients at different stages of their healing and growth. Individual therapy provides a space to explore personal challenges, relationship patterns, and emotional experiences with focused support. Couples therapy helps partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their connection. We also offer therapy groups, where clients can gain insight, practice new relational skills, and feel supported alongside others working through similar experiences.
