“Therapy’s SO expensive!”. Yes, it is, and so is divorce. In Alabama, the going rate to divorce your spouse is $7,000, and that’s if it’s uncontested. If you haven’t already come to an agreement on things like the division of your assets and debts, alimony, child custody, child support, and more, then yours is classified as a contested divorce. Contested divorces average $14,000 - $20,000 and all this while still trying to focus on day-to-day needs like your career, your home, your kids, and yourself.

Online couples therapy closely mirrors the traditional, in-office approach but is done from the comfort of your own home. This mode of treatment is particularly suited for couples with busy modern lifestyles, eliminating the need to travel or adjust work schedules to meet therapy appointments.

Traditional couples counseling may not always result in considerable improvement, even if a couple is committed to their treatment journey. Some couples may want to speed up the process of reaching their healing goals. Also, many couples in crisis find counseling sessions insufficient to address their relationship concerns.

In such cases, looking into intensive couples therapy might be a good idea. Couples intensives are designed for couples who feel stuck in the loop of traditional weekly sessions and want to try a more concentrated and rigorous approach to therapy.

At Sparrow Counseling, we understand that finding the right counseling option can be challenging.
