Do you find yourself wanting to feel better but nothing seems to be working? You’ve tried making changes, either in yourself or others around you and yet it feels like you are running a race you just can’t win. There can be times we know something needs to change but don’t know how to create a positive lasting difference. It’s as if we’ve been given a map of Chicago and told to use it to get around downtown Fort Worth. Then no matter how long we study that map or try to use it as a guide we can’t find our way.

Susana Muñoz
Counselor, MEd, LPC, RYT200
6 Endorsed
Fort Worth, TX 76135
Hi, I’m Susana! As a first-generation Latina and mom, I understand how quickly being responsible, capable, and needed can become the way we measure our worth. Many of my clients are high-achieving women who hold it all together. Pregnancy, postpartum, or motherhood can disrupt that identity. You may be determined to give your children what you did not have, while wondering why motherhood brings you face to face with parts of yourself you thought you had healed. I also work with first-generation Latinos caught between family expectations and their own identity, where choosing yourself can feel like disappointing everyone you love.

At times life provides us with the opportunities that enable us to grow and accomplish. However, at times it also presents itself in the form of a challenge. These life events can take a toll on our mental health and leave us feeling hopeless, unmotivated, lost, and stuck. I am passionate and confident in my ability to make a difference in the life of my clients. Having been through many touch patches myself, I understand well the importance of regaining one's own sense of purpose, strength, and dignity. I have experiences working with both children and adults using individual and family therapy modalities.

Caledra M. Wortham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC

Fort Worth, TX 76132
I believe healing begins with connection. My practice was founded on the idea that every individual—child, adolescent, or adult—deserves a safe space to explore their story, strengthen their resilience, and build a life that feels meaningful. I honor that individuality in a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels authentic to them. Healing is not one size fits all. It is person centered. I approach counseling as a collaborative journey, honoring the unique cultural, familial, and personal experiences that shape each person’s path.

Are you a high functioning “fixer,” with most of your daily experience organized around finding and fixing problems? In some ways, I bet the tension and release of this cycle is really gratifying, and maybe it comes with a bit of money and status too. But what do you do when you encounter things you can’t fix, or that aren’t yours to fix, or that don’t even want to be fixed? What’s it really like for you when the world reminds you that you aren’t always in control?

FAQ - Marriage Counseling
What issues does marriage counseling help with?
Marriage counseling can address common relationship concerns, including ongoing conflict, communication challenges, emotional distance, or difficulty making decisions together. It may also be helpful for couples who are not currently experiencing major problems but want to prepare for future life changes. For more specific concerns affecting one individual in the relationship, such as trauma, depression, or significant substance use concerns, individual therapy may be more appropriate than marriage counseling.

When is the right time to start marriage counseling?
There is no single “right” time to start marriage counseling, but certain signs may suggest that counseling could be helpful. For example, a couple may benefit from counseling if many conversations end in conflict, if negative interactions are becoming more frequent, or if relationship stress is affecting other areas of life, such as sleep, work, parenting, or friendships. Some couples also seek counseling proactively. Premarital counseling, for instance, allows couples to discuss communication styles, finances, family dynamics, and future goals before getting married. Other couples may start counseling before a major life change, such as becoming parents, relocating, or navigating a stressful career transition.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Marriage counseling may still help even if one partner is more hesitant to attend, as long as both people are ultimately willing to participate in sessions. Once counseling is underway, the more hesitant partner may become more open to sessions that can strengthen the relationship and build coping skills and communication strategies. If one partner refuses to attend, individual therapy may still help the other partner understand their needs, set boundaries, and decide how to approach the relationship.

Is online marriage counseling as effective as in-person?
There are differing opinions on the best format for marriage counseling. While some studies show that online marriage counseling can be as effective as in-person counseling, some argue that in-person counseling is more effective because it allows the therapist to better pick up on context and body language cues. In addition, in-person counseling may be a better fit for couples who are working through high-conflict issues. Ultimately, the “best” format depends on the couple’s specific needs and concerns.

What is faith-based marriage counseling and how is it different?
Faith-based marriage counseling incorporates a couple’s religious or spiritual beliefs into counseling. It may be a good fit for couples who want to discuss their relationship, values, and marriage within the context of their faith. For example, Christian marriage counseling may appeal to couples who want a counselor familiar with Christian beliefs about marriage. Other forms of faith-based counseling may incorporate Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or other religious perspectives into sessions.

How much does marriage counseling cost and is it covered by insurance?
Marriage counseling often costs $150 to $250 or more per session, depending on location, therapist experience, session length, and practice setting. Marriage counseling is typically not covered by insurance unless it is considered medically necessary and connected to a diagnosable mental health condition. Lower-cost options may be available. For instance, some therapists offer sliding scale fees for lower-income clients, and community clinics may offer counseling at a discounted rate.
