Sarah and Mike almost gave up on therapy. They'd seen two different therapists in Colorado Springs - one near the Broadmoor area, another off Powers Boulevard. Both seemed nice enough. But both also saw individual clients, families, kids with ADHD, anxiety patients... you name it.
"It felt like we were just another appointment on their calendar," Sarah told me. "They'd forget what we talked about last session. They didnt seem to really get relationship work."
That's when they found Kayla at South Denver Therapy.

Most therapists in Colorado Springs do couples counseling as a side thing. Kayla built her entire practice around it.
What Couples From Colorado Springs Are Dealing With
Whether you live near Garden of the Gods, Old Colorado City, or out by Peterson Space Force Base, the problems are the same:
Constant Fighting
The same arguments keep happening. You can't seem to communicate without it turning into a blow-up.
Growing Apart
You're roommates who share bills. The connection is gone. You barely talk anymore.
Trust Issues
Someone cheated or broke trust. You don't know if you can rebuild what's broken.
Feeling Stuck
You love each other but something's off. You can't figure out what's wrong or how to fix it.
Kayla has worked with hundreds of couples dealing with these exact issues. Some from Fountain, some from Monument, many from different Colorado Springs neighborhoods like Briargate or Stetson Hills. Most meet with her virtually through secure video sessions.
Why Colorado Springs Couples Choose Kayla
Let me be honest with you. There are therapists in Colorado Springs who say they do couples work. Some are probably pretty good. But here's what makes Kayla different:
1. You Get a Real Specialist
When you see a general therapist who does "some couples work," you're getting someone who learned about relationships in grad school and maybe took a weekend workshop. When you see Kayla, you're getting someone who spent years studying relationship dynamics specifically. She trained intensively in Relational Life Therapy - an approach that gets to the root of relationship patterns fast. She's also SART trained (Systematic Affair Recovery Training), which means she has specialized expertise helping couples heal from infidelity.
The difference shows up in your sessions. She spots patterns you dont see. She knows what questions to ask. She can tell within a few sessions what's really going on beneath the surface arguments.
2. Flexible Session Options
Kayla offers 60-minute sessions ($215) for couples who want weekly support. But she also offers 90-minute sessions for couples who need more time to dig into things. And if you want to get through it quicker, she does couples intensives - full-day or multi-day sessions where you make months of progress in a concentrated timeframe.
A lot of Colorado Springs couples do intensives because it means fewer total sessions. You can knock out serious work in a weekend instead of spreading it over months.
3. Virtual Sessions = No Commute
Most couples from Colorado Springs meet with Kayla virtually. You get the same expert care without spending 90 minutes in the car. Do your session from home, from a quiet coffee shop, wherever works for you. The therapy is just as effective, and way more convenient.
Some couples still prefer to come to the Castle Rock office - maybe they want to get away from the house, or they like the ritual of driving together. That's totally fine. But you dont have to.
4. Sessions That Actually Help
Here's something couples say over and over: "We leave our sessions with actual tools we can use."
You're not just venting for an hour. You're learning how to understand each other better. You're practicing new ways to talk about hard stuff. Relational Life Therapy focuses on breaking the patterns that keep you stuck - the defensiveness, the shutting down, the same fights on repeat.
"We tried a counselor in Colorado Springs first. After three sessions we hadn't done anything but talk about our childhoods. With Kayla, we were working on our actual issues from day one. And doing it virtually meant we could fit it into our schedule easier."
– Couple from Colorado Springs
How Couples Therapy Actually Works
If you've never done couples counseling before, here's what to expect:
First Session
Kayla meets with both of you together (virtually or in-person). She'll ask about what brought you in, what you've tried already, and what you're hoping therapy can help with. Most couples leave feeling like someone finally understands.
Building Your Plan
Over the next few sessions, Kayla helps you identify the real issues. (Spoiler: it's usually not what you think.) You'll start learning new ways to talk to each other.
Doing the Work
This is where change happens. You'll work on your specific issues - rebuilding trust, stopping the fighting, reconnecting emotionally, or figuring out if this relationship still works.
Most couples see Kayla weekly at first, then spread sessions out as things improve. Or you can do a couples intensive and make faster progress.
Common Questions From Colorado Springs Couples
How much does couples therapy cost?
Kayla charges $215 for a 60-minute session. She also offers 90-minute sessions for couples who need more time, and couples intensives (half-day or full-day sessions) for people who want to make faster progress. Intensives can be more cost-effective if you're trying to work through something major.
Do you take insurance?
We don't take insurance directly, but we've partnered with Mentaya to help you get reimbursed by your insurance company. Want to check if your insurance will cover sessions? Use our Mentaya insurance checker tool on our FAQs page to see what you can get back. Many clients get 40-80% of their session cost reimbursed.
Can we do therapy virtually from Colorado Springs?
Yes! Most of Kayla's Colorado Springs clients meet virtually through secure video sessions. It's just as effective as in-person therapy, and way more convenient. No drive, no traffic, no finding babysitters. You can do it from home.
How long does couples therapy take?
It depends on what you're working on. Some couples see big improvements in 8-12 sessions. Others need longer, especially if there's been infidelity or years of built-up resentment. If you want faster results, ask about couples intensives - you can make months of progress in a concentrated weekend or week.
What if my partner doesn't want to go?
This happens alot. One person is ready, the other is hesitant. Start by having an honest conversation about why therapy might help. Sometimes the reluctant partner just needs to hear that this is about making things better, not about ganging up on them. You can also come to a first session solo to get Kayla's take on how to approach it.
What's Relational Life Therapy?
Relational Life Therapy is an approach that cuts through the surface stuff fast. Instead of spending months talking about your childhood, it focuses on the patterns happening right now in your relationship. Why do you shut down when your partner criticizes you? Why does every money conversation turn into a fight? RLT helps you see these patterns clearly and gives you tools to change them.
Can you help with infidelity?
Yes. Kayla has specialized training in affair recovery (SART - Systematic Affair Recovery Training). She's helped many couples rebuild trust after cheating. It's hard work, but with the right support, relationships can heal from infidelity. Some couples even say their relationship is stronger after working through it.
What if we're not married? Can we still do couples therapy?
Yes. Kayla works with engaged couples, dating couples, cohabitating partners, and married couples. If you're in a committed relationship and want to make it better, couples therapy can help.

Ready to Start Couples Counseling?
Look, I get it. Reaching out for help is hard. You might be worried about what therapy will be like. You might be nervous about whether it'll actually help. You might be wondering if virtual sessions can really make a difference.
Here's what I can tell you: Every couple who's working with Kayla right now felt the same way you do before they started. Scared. Uncertain. Hoping this would help but not totally sure.
And most of them wish they'd started sooner.
Your relationship doesn't have to stay stuck where it is. Whether you're fighting constantly, growing apart, dealing with infidelity, or just feeling like something's missing - there's a path forward. But you have to take the first step.
