Therapy for Couples in Chicago
Relationships don’t usually fall apart overnight. It’s the small moments. The repeated arguments. The conversations that go nowhere. The feeling of talking but not being heard. But somewhere along the way, the distance grows, and what used to feel close starts to feel out of reach. Things such as:
- Arguing about the same things over and over without resolution
- Avoiding difficult conversations to keep the peace
- Feeling more like roommates than partners
- Struggling with physical or emotional intimacy
- Carrying resentment that quietly builds
- Trying to recover from a betrayal
You might love each other deeply and still feel completely disconnected. With Marra, our therapists can help you become a steadier, more connected version of yourselves, together.

How Marra is More Than Just Therapy
We can help you reclaim yourself by seeing therapy less like a pressure valve and more like having a strategic partner who helps you understand exactly what’s driving the depletion, and what to shift so it stops running your life.
You get matched to the right therapist from the start. No scrolling through profiles. We learn what you need and connect you thoughtfully.
Switching therapists isn’t awkward. Not clicking? You can switch without guilt or starting over.
Our therapists stay sharp. We hire experienced clinicians who receive ongoing supervision and consultation. Current care, not outdated approaches.
This isn’t transactional. You get space to be yourself completely. That’s where real change happens.

Our Space
This isn’t a clinic. It’s a space for reflection and connection because therapy should feel as comforting as your favorite corner of your home.
Located in the River West neighborhood of Chicago, our space was created to feel warm, grounded, and thoughtfully designed. We’ve intentionally moved away from anything clinical or sterile. Instead, you’ll find natural light, calming tones, and spaces that invite stillness. A place where you can truly relax, reset, and reconnect with yourself.
Our Chicago therapy space is designed to remind you that care can feel beautiful, intentional, and human. In addition to in-person sessions, we also offer virtual therapy for adults throughout Illinois.
We foster relationships built on trust

FAQS
We Are Here to Help
Research-supported approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method-informed strategies have strong evidence behind them. Sessions are tailored to your specific dynamic and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula.
Our team is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans. Some clinicians also accept UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Aetna based on availability. Provide your insurance details when scheduling and we will help coordinate an in-network match when possible.
If you choose an out-of-network provider, self-pay is available and we supply a superbill for potential reimbursement. A courtesy benefits check is completed before your first session, though final costs depend on your individual plan. Payment is due at each appointment.
Sessions are available at our River West office in Chicago as well as through secure virtual therapy across Illinois. You may select the format that works best or alternate as needed.
