Couples Counseling Therapists in Los Angeles, California

Looking for a couples therapist in Los Angeles, California is a great step to take to begin working on the relationship between you and your partner.

It’s important to find someone who is trained in working with couples and specializes in couples therapy when looking for a couples therapist in Los Angeles. Some therapists might be licensed marriage and family therapists and have an LMFT credential. Before working with a couples therapist in Los Angeles, be sure to ask what additional training they have to work with couples. You and your partner should also identify your goals and what you want to achieve through couples therapy. If you’re having the same argument over and over again, you might have a goal to improve communication, for example. A couples therapist in Los Angeles can help you and your partner with other issues like financial issues, intimacy, domestic responsibilities, issues with other family members like in-laws, infidelity and more.

However, you may be able to use one person’s insurance to cover sessions if they have a diagnosable mental health concern, ask for a sliding scale, or use out-of-network benefits.
