How to choose a couples therapist
- Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.
- Make sure couples and marriage counseling is a regular part of their work, and ask what approach they use and why.
- Ask what training they have in couples work specifically (for example the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy).
- Ask about fees, insurance and the cancellation policy before the first session. In the US, if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you can ask for a good faith estimate of expected charges.
- Check practical fit: in-person or online sessions, evening times, and how soon they have an opening.
- After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.
Questions to ask a couples therapist
- Are you accepting new clients, and how soon could I start?
- Which license do you hold, and in which state or province?
- How much of your work is couples and marriage counseling?
- Do you also see each partner on their own?
- What do you charge per session, and do you take my insurance or provide a superbill?
- Do you offer online sessions?
- What is your cancellation policy?
- What do you keep confidential, and when would you have to share information?

What should I do if I need help right now?

Director Demi Kostouros, Couples Therapy (#3). Posted hours are office hours; many practices also offer evening or online sessions by appointment.
What Google rating do Selden couples therapists have?
The median Google rating among 37 rated couples therapists in Selden is 4.6★, with a median of 10 reviews. Sunrise Counseling Center has the most, 207 reviews, and ranks #13. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.
How does RankedPsychologists rank couples therapists?
Each couples therapist gets a 0–100 RP Score from eight published factors, led by reputation (25%), specialty focus (25%), proximity (15%) and availability (10%). A practice with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only practices with a confirmed specialty and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do couples therapists outside Selden count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 20 mi of the Selden city center, our service radius for couples therapists. Each listing shows where the practice is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 15% of the RP Score, so a nearby practice gets a small edge.
Can couples therapists pay to rank higher on RankedPsychologists?
No. The RP Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured practices may appear above the list, labelled Sponsored and showing their honest rank.
How are couples therapists in Selden ranked?
Each practice gets an RP Score from 0 to 100 from 8 published factors, including its Google rating, how clearly it focuses on couples and marriage counseling and how close it is. Sponsored placements are shown separately and never change rank. The score does not measure treatment outcomes.
Do both partners need to come to couples therapy?
Most couples therapists prefer to see both partners, at least at first, but many will start with one. Ask how they handle individual sessions. If there is violence or fear in the relationship, tell the therapist privately; many do not offer joint sessions in that situation.
Can I see a couples therapist online?
Often, yes. Licensing generally follows where you are during the session, so the provider needs to be licensed or authorized there. In the US, psychologists in PSYPACT member states can offer telepsychology to clients in other member states; counselors and social workers have their own rules. In Canada, ask whether the provider is registered in your province.
What if I need help right now?
Do not wait for a consultation. Call or text 988 (US and Canada) if you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, at any time. In an emergency, call 911.
