Evidence-based couples therapy, pre-marital and marriage counseling, relationship therapy, and relational sex therapy for couples ready to improve communication, rebuild connection, and create lasting change together. Virtual sessions throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, Florida, and South Carolina.
Couples therapy (also called marriage counseling or relationship therapy) is a collaborative process where both partners work with a trained therapist to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and (re)build connection. Unlike venting to friends or family, couples therapy provides a structured, neutral space with a trained clinician to help you and your partner identify relationship patterns, teach you effective skills for communication and repair, and help you break the cycles that are keeping you stuck.
Couples seek therapy for many reasons, from communication breakdowns to major betrayals. Whether you’re struggling with recurring conflicts, emotional distance, or deciding your relationship’s future, we provide evidence-based support tailored to your specific challenges.
JP Psychotherapy is an ally to all LGBTQIA+ individuals and provides compassionate, nonjudgemental care to all consenting adults, whether they choose to maintain or end a relationship, regardless of monogamy status and sexual activity preferences.

Therapists can go by many names. The most important thing to confirm is that you're working with someone who is both licensed and has sufficient training to specific couples work - even great individual therapist is not a couples therapist. At JP Psychotherapy, we use evidence-based approaches specifically designed for couples that are proven to help relationships, not just facilitating conversations. You'll learn specific skills, identify patterns, and make observable progress. Your clinician, as your teammate, is and active participant, not just a passive listener.
The honest answer is your time in therapy highly dependent on your readiness to engage effectively. Many couples can experience noticeable shifts and improvements within 16-20 sessions, however, most couples continue on in an effort to deepen and maintain their growth.
This is common, especially after betrayal. We create space for honesty while managing the consequences of difficult truths. If trust has been broken, rebuilding it requires transparency, which we facilitate safely.
Yes, many couples benefit from both. Individual therapy addresses personal patterns while couples therapy works on relationship dynamics. Participating in both simultaneously can enhance the progress made in each.
No. Most couples seeking therapy don't have diagnosable conditions, they're navigating normal relationship challenges that have become overwhelming. Fun fact: this is precisely why insurance does not cover routine couples therapy (because they require treatment targeting a specific diagnosis).
This is a common and understandable concern. Sometimes one partner is more ready than the other. We can discuss your specific circumstance during your consultation and throughout the assessment phase. We will ensure that your sessions are a safe space to explore, learn and grow, regardless of level of motivation.
Therapy effectiveness depends heavily on approach, therapist fit, readiness, and timing. A previous unhelpful experience does not mean couples therapy won't work. Instead, it likely means the approach, timing, or therapist wasn't right for you or your partner.
Yes! We serve clients throughout Massachusetts, from Boston to Western Mass, North Shore to Cape Cod. As long as you're physically located in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Florida or South Carolina during sessions, we can work together virtually via secure telehealth.
