Couples and Family Counseling Services
Couples & Marriage Counseling in Georgetown & Liberty Hill, TX
Relationships are meaningful, and they can also be hard.
If you and your partner feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward together, couples counseling can help you slow things down, understand what’s really happening beneath the surface, and rebuild connection in a healthier way.
At Central Texas Child and Family Counseling, we provide family, couples and marriage counseling in Georgetown and Liberty Hill for partners and people who want more clarity, stronger communication, and a relationship that feels more secure and connected.
Whether you’re hoping to repair your relationship, strengthen it, or figure out what you want moving forward, you don’t have to navigate this alone.
Is Family or Couples Counseling Right for You?
Couples therapy isn’t just for relationships in crisis. Family therapy isn’t for fallen apart relationships. Many people seek counseling when they want support making sense of their patterns, improving communication, or reconnecting emotionally.
Couples come to us for help with:
- Frequent arguments or feeling “stuck” in the same cycle
- Communication breakdowns or feeling unheard
- Emotional distance, resentment, or loss of connection
- Trust concerns or recovering from ruptures
- Parenting stress impacting the relationship
- Spouse/romantic partner issues
- Parent/Child issues
- Sibling issues
- Life transitions (career changes, moves, becoming parents, empty nesting)
- Deciding whether to repair, redefine, or thoughtfully end a relationship
Our Approach to Relationship Therapy
We believe strong relationships are built through understanding, emotional safety, and effective communication — not blame or “winning” arguments.
Our therapists are trained to help couples:
- Slow down reactive patterns
- Understand emotional triggers and unmet needs
- Learn healthier ways to communicate and repair conflict
- Strengthen emotional and physical connection
- Build trust, empathy, and teamwork
- Create clear goals for the future of the relationship
Sessions are structured, supportive, and collaborative. We focus on helping both partners feel heard while keeping the therapy space balanced, respectful, and productive.
A Safe Space for Both Partners
It’s common for couples to worry that therapy will feel uncomfortable or one-sided. Our role is not to take sides — it’s to support the relationship and the people in it.
We work intentionally to:
- Create a safe, neutral environment
- Help both partners feel respected and understood
- Address sensitive topics at a pace that feels manageable
- Support honest conversations without escalation or shutdown
Many couples tell us they feel relief just having a space where difficult conversations can happen with guidance and care.
Central Texas Child and Family Counseling has deep roots in Georgetown and Liberty Hill. Our therapists understand the unique pressures couples face here of balancing work, family, parenting, and community life while trying to stay connected as partners.
The Counseling Process
Intake
Your first counseling session focuses on understanding what has happened in the past, what is happening now and what you want for the future. With your counselor, goal(s) will be set and you will leave with a summary that has recommendations for a counseling plan.
Sessions
Many counseling goals take around 8 sessions to complete. Some issues are complex and take longer. Our aim is to give you the method and pace of counseling that’s right for you. Most of our clients start out with weekly or bi-weekly sessions.
Maintenance
Your counselor will discuss progress and adjust your plan accordingly throughout the process. When goals are met, treatment may end completely. We also have the option of moving clients to ‘maintenance’, which are wellness sessions every 4-6 weeks.

Out-of-Network Benefits
Out-of-network benefits for most insurance companies can be used for individual therapy with our fully licensed counselors. When using out of network benefits, you will need to, verify your benefits and then submit claims to your insurance provider. See our instructions and tools below to help you with this process.
Using Your Insurance as a Client.
Many clients can get part of their cost reimbursed through their plan’s out-of-network benefits. We are considered out-of-pocket and don’t bill insurance directly, however we help to simplify the process of using your benefits. Here’s how.
Step 1: Check your benefits
Use our free insurance checker (left), or call the member services number on your insurance card and ask:
- Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits?
- What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much have I met this year?
- After my deductible, what percentage do you reimburse?
- Do you reimburse sessions with associate-level counselors (LPC-Associate or LMFT-Associate)?
- Are family sessions covered? Are couples sessions covered?
Who’s eligible
Sessions with our fully licensed therapists (LPC, LMFT, LCSW) are often eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. Some insurance plans also reimburse sessions with our associate-level counselors, but please check with your plan first. Intern sessions are generally not eligible. Our interns and associates offer lower-cost sessions for families paying out of pocket.
Step 2: Save your invoices
Your invoices include the codes and provider information your insurance needs (often called a “superbill”). Our client portal will email you those superbill invoices after each session.
Step 3: Submit your claims
Submit invoices directly to your insurance company, or use a service like Reimbursify to make it easier: https://reimbursify.com/individual-page/. We receive nothing from Reimbursify; some clients simply find it helpful. Expect reimbursement to take several weeks, and keep copies of everything.
Good to know
Insurance companies require a diagnosis to process a claim, and it becomes part of your (or your child’s) insurance record. Many families are comfortable with that. Some prefer to keep counseling fully private, and paying out of pocket without filing is always an option.
