When Talking to Each Other Isn’t Working
Every relationship goes through difficult periods — communication breakdowns, conflict cycles, distance, betrayal, life transitions. Couples therapy provides a structured, neutral space to work through these challenges with professional guidance.
At Bedre Health, our approach to couples therapy is grounded in evidence-based methods and informed by our psychiatric background. We understand that relationship distress often intersects with individual mental health — depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma all affect how we show up in our relationships. We treat the whole picture.
Issues We Address
Evidence-Based Couples Care
Psychiatric + Relationship Perspective
Unlike standalone couples therapists, we bring a full psychiatric background to the work. When one partner’s depression, anxiety, or ADHD is driving relationship patterns, we identify it — and can treat it directly alongside couples work.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is one of the most well-researched couples therapy approaches — it works by identifying and restructuring the emotional patterns and attachment dynamics that drive conflict. 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery with EFT.
Gottman-Informed Techniques
We incorporate Gottman Method principles — identifying destructive patterns (criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling) and replacing them with evidence-based communication tools.
Individual Sessions When Needed
Sometimes individual work runs alongside couples work — particularly when one partner is managing a mental health condition that’s affecting the relationship. We coordinate both.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does couples therapy actually work?
Yes — when both partners are willing to engage. Meta-analyses of EFT show 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and 90% show significant improvement. The key factors are commitment to the process, a skilled therapist, and both partners showing up. Couples therapy is one of the most evidence-supported interventions in psychology.
Do we both have to come to every session?
Most sessions involve both partners. Occasionally individual sessions are clinically useful — for example, to address something one partner needs to work through before bringing into the couples space. We’ll guide this based on what the work requires.
Can we do couples therapy via telehealth?
Yes — both partners can join from the same location or from separate devices if needed. Telehealth couples therapy has been shown to be as effective as in-person for most presentations. We use HIPAA-compliant video for all sessions.
What if one of us is also managing depression or anxiety?
This is very common — and it’s one of the places where our psychiatric background adds real value. We can address individual mental health conditions directly, alongside or integrated with couples work, rather than sending you to a separate provider.
Is couples therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. We accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Point32, OPTUM, Evernorth, Mass General Brigham, and Medicare. We verify your specific benefits before your first appointment.
