Individual therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes.

Because couples therapy involves working with two partners and the relationship dynamic as a whole, many couples benefit from extended sessions that allow more space for communication work, structured interventions, emotional processing, and meaningful progress.

Most couples therapy begins with an extended assessment phase and continues with 75-minute ongoing sessions. Extended 100-minute sessions may also be recommended when clinically appropriate.

Couples therapy often involves understanding two individuals, the relationship dynamic, communication patterns, strengths, and areas of concern before moving into ongoing treatment work.

For this reason, many couples begin therapy with an extended assessment process that may include:

• extended couples sessions

• Gottman relationship assessments

• individual assessment meetings

• collaborative feedback and treatment planning

This process helps create a more thoughtful and effective foundation for ongoing therapy.

Session fees vary by clinician based on training, certifications, specialization, licensure, and session format.

Individual therapy is typically offered in 50-minute sessions, while couples therapy often involves extended sessions to allow more space for communication work, emotional processing, and structured relationship interventions.

We use Stripe through the Simple Practice portal to bill your credit card at the end of each session. We also accept third-party payments such as payments from clergy.  

We are strictly private pay, which means we do not bill insurance companies directly. However, we are happy to provide superbills—these are detailed invoices you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan’s out-of-network benefits. A superbill typically includes information such as diagnosis codes, session dates, and fees paid.

If you plan to seek reimbursement through insurance using a superbill, we recommend checking with your provider about your out-of-network coverage before starting therapy.

At Revive Relationship Counseling, we have chosen not to be paneled with insurance companies because it helps us retain the autonomy needed to provide you with an excellent experience. Insurance companies often place limits on session length, diagnoses covered, and types of treatment allowed.

More importantly, we primarily see couples and relationship issues. Most insurance plans don’t cover couples counseling or relationship issues. To bill insurance, we would need to provide a psychiatric diagnosis to “justify” treatment. Since Revive specializes in relationship-based therapy, we focus on the interaction between partners rather than identifying a single “patient.” We believe this approach is in the best interest of our clients.

We require at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a session without being charged. If you provide less than 48 hours’ notice, the full session fee will apply.

We understand that emergencies or unexpected situations can come up. If something truly unavoidable happens, please reach out so we can discuss it. Our goal is to maintain clear boundaries while still practicing flexibility and compassion when it's needed.

Appointment availability varies by clinician.

Marina Stanton, LMFT, CST

Marina primarily sees clients Monday–Thursday between 9 AM–3 PM MST.

Andrea Madsen, LPCC

Andrea currently offers appointments Wednesdays and Thursdays between approximately 1 PM–7 PM MST.

We do not currently offer weekend appointments. Current openings and scheduling options will be discussed during your consultation.

We generally recommend scheduling recurring sessions at the same day and time each week whenever possible. A consistent appointment time helps therapy become a predictable part of your routine and allows both you and your clinician to plan ahead.

Once you begin working with a clinician, you’ll typically hold that weekly time as long as it continues to meet your needs and fits the clinician’s availability. Some clinicians schedule sessions on a recurring basis, while others may schedule a few weeks at a time—this will be discussed during your consultation and first sessions.

If you ever need to reschedule or adjust your appointment time, we ask that you let us know in advance. While changes depend on availability, we’ll do our best to accommodate when possible.

Yes. In-person appointment availability varies by clinician.

Yes—We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy for clients located in Colorado,Texas, Utah, Idaho, and Washington.

Whether you're juggling a busy schedule, live outside the Denver metro area, or simply prefer the comfort of your own home, virtual sessions are a flexible and effective option.

Online therapy allows us to do the same meaningful work together—whether we’re addressing communication breakdowns, intimacy struggles, or sexual concerns—all without the commute. If you're not sure if online relationship counseling is the right fit, we can talk through that during a free 15-minute consultation.

Providers at Revive Relationship Counseling provide therapy in Colorado, Texas, Utah, Idaho and Washington.

In Washington, Texas, Idaho, and Utah, we offer only online therapy. In Colorado, we offer both in-person sessions at the Centennial office as well as online sessions.

First off, congratulations on taking the first step. You'll receive a response shortly to schedule a free 15- to 20-minute phone consultation with one of our therapists. This is a chance for you to share a little about what’s going on and ask any questions you may have. We'll talk through your goals and make sure it feels like a good fit.

If it turns out someone else would be better suited to your needs, we’re happy to offer referrals.

If you decide to move forward, we’ll send you a link to complete your intake forms online. Please fill these out at least 24 hours before your first session so your therapist has time to review your background and start with a clear sense of your goals.

We’re honored to be part of your process and look forward to connecting soon.

Yes, as long as you are parked in a safe location and have a stable internet connection, you are more than welcome to attend your therapy session from your car.

Most people wait too long to seek help—especially in their relationships. Research shows that couples often struggle for an average of six years before reaching out. That’s a long time to feel disconnected, stuck, or alone.

If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed, unsure of how to move forward, or like you're repeating the same patterns without resolution, therapy can help. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit. In fact, many of our clients come to therapy simply because they want more clarity, stronger communication, or a better understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Working with a trained therapist gives you the benefit of objectivity, insight, and evidence-based tools tailored to your specific concerns. It’s support that goes beyond what a partner or friend can offer—because it’s focused, intentional, and designed to help you grow.

All of our therapists approach relationship work with warmth, emotional depth, and practical tools for lasting change. The best fit often depends on the type of support you are looking for, scheduling needs, and the level of specialization that feels most helpful for your situation.

If you are unsure which therapist may be the best fit, we are happy to help guide you during the consultation process.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Every relationship is different, and the number of sessions needed depends on your goals, the challenges you’re facing, and your commitment to the process. Some couples see meaningful change in as few as 12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support over 6 to 12 months.

We often compare therapy to getting healthier or losing weight. It’s not an overnight fix—it takes time, consistency, and practice. Small shifts build momentum, and over time, those changes can lead to lasting results.

For premarital counseling, most couples complete their work in 8 to 12 sessions.

If you’re pursuing relationship therapy, we recommend committing to at least 8 to 10 sessions. Research shows that couples who attend weekly sessions make more progress than those who space things out. Many couples notice the biggest improvements between sessions 7 and 10—but unfortunately, many drop out before reaching that point.

We want to make sure this process is working for you. That’s why we offer free 15-minute consultations to ensure a good fit from the start, and we check in regularly (especially around sessions 1 and 5) to gather your feedback. If something isn’t feeling helpful, we’ll adjust our approach—or help connect you with a better match.

We hear this often—and we get it. Trying couples counseling again can feel discouraging, especially if your past experience left you feeling unseen or misunderstood. But here's the truth: the relationship you have with your therapist (or therapy team) matters. A lot.

At Revive Relationship Counseling, we believe fit is everything. That’s why we offer free consultations—to make sure your therapist is a good match for both of you. It can be hard enough to find a therapist you personally connect with, let alone one that works well for both partners. Think of it like dating or trying to find “couple friends” you both genuinely like—it takes time, but the right match makes all the difference.

Each therapist on our team brings their own style and expertise, but we all share a common commitment: helping couples feel more connected, heard, and empowered in their relationships. Even if you’ve had a less-than-ideal therapy experience in the past, we encourage you to try again. Your relationship is worth it—and we’re here to help.

Starting therapy can feel nerve-wracking—we get it. You’re about to open up to someone you’ve just met, and that takes courage. But honestly? The best way to prepare is to come in with an open mind and a willingness to grow. That’s it.

Some clients like to jot down a few notes or bring a general timeline of events to their first session. Others come in with no idea where to start—and that’s totally okay too. Your therapist will help you sort through the noise and figure out what’s most important to focus on.

If you’ve done therapy before, it can be helpful to think about what worked (and what didn’t) with past therapists so we can tailor things to feel right for you. And if this is your first time in therapy—especially virtual therapy—you might want to check out our online counseling FAQs to know what to expect with telehealth.

Confidentiality is one of the most important parts of the therapy process. It allows you to open up and speak honestly, knowing that what you share stays private. Your information is protected by law and by our ethical standards.

In most cases, what you share in therapy will remain between you and your therapist. The only exceptions are situations involving serious risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect, or if we’re required by law to release information.

If you ever want us to coordinate care with another provider—like a doctor, psychiatrist, clergy member, or another therapist—you’ll need to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form first. And if you're participating in couples therapy, both partners must consent to any release, because your relationship is considered the client.

Even within our group practice, if you're working with more than one therapist (like one for individual therapy and one for couples), we’ll ask you to sign an ROI before those therapists can collaborate. This keeps your privacy protected and ensures everyone is working together intentionally and transparently.

While our team is passionate about supporting couples and individuals in their relationships, there are certain situations where we may not be the best fit—either due to safety concerns or clinical scope.

As a group practice, we typically do not work with clients who:

• Are in an active abusive relationship. When safety is a concern, individual therapy or crisis intervention is often the necessary first step before relational work can begin.

• Are unwilling or unmotivated to participate meaningfully in therapy. Our work is most effective when both partners are engaged in the process, including doing any between-session work and showing up ready to reflect and grow.

• Are experiencing untreated or unstable mental health conditions, such as unmanaged bipolar disorder, active suicidality, psychosis, or substance abuse. In these cases, we’ll likely recommend individual therapy or psychiatric support first, so relational work can proceed from a more stable place.

• Are currently dealing with an active affair or are primarily seeking affair recovery. While we occasionally work with couples navigating betrayal, we do not specialize in affair-focused therapy at this time. We’re happy to provide referrals to clinicians who do.

• Are in crisis or experiencing significant instability. Relationship counseling is most productive when both partners can participate in a structured, emotionally-regulated process.

If you’re unsure whether Revive is the right fit for your situation, we’re happy to discuss it with you in a free phone consultation and refer you to trusted colleagues when appropriate. Our goal is always to help you get the care you need—even if that’s not with us.
