For the couple that keeps having the same fight, the one that stopped fighting and stopped talking, the one rebuilding after a betrayal, and the one that is not sure it should stay. Doctoral-level practice, first sessions this week, in Jupiter or by secure video across Florida.
Quick answer: Couples therapy at FC PsychExperts is 50 to 80 minute sessions where both partners meet with a licensed clinician; the client is the relationship, not either person. Sessions are in person at 210 Jupiter Lakes Blvd in Jupiter or by secure video anywhere in Florida, and 1 partner can start alone. The practice was founded in 2008 by Dr. Cathy Colet and serves all of Palm Beach County. Call (561) 834-5849.
Most couples who call our Jupiter office are not fighting about the dishes. They are fighting about whether they still matter to each other. It usually sounds like this.
Pick the one that is closest. The plan, the pace and even who attends the first session change depending on the answer.
Parallel lives: work, kids, phones, sleep. No one is angry, which is what makes it hard to justify calling a therapist. This is the stage where couples therapy works fastest, because nothing has been broken yet, only neglected.
The topic changes; the pattern does not. One pursues, one withdraws, both feel unheard. Couples in this stage usually arrive convinced the other person is the problem. The clinician’s first job is to show both of you the loop you are in, because the loop is the client.
Maybe there was an affair. Maybe someone has quietly checked out. Ongoing couples therapy is the wrong tool here; it assumes both people want to fix it. Instead we use a short, focused format built for the decision itself: stay as is, separate, or commit to a defined 6-month attempt.
Every approach we use, from emotionally focused work to structured communication training, is aimed at 1 of these 4.
Raising something without it becoming a fight. Listening without building your rebuttal. Small mechanics, big results.
Every couple fights. The ones that last know how to come back within hours, not weeks. Repair is a skill, and it is teachable.
Feeling chosen, not just tolerated. Rebuilding the small daily signals that say “I am still here” after they have gone quiet.
Money, in-laws, kids, moving, a second chance. Making decisions together instead of one deciding and the other absorbing.
The biggest reason a partner refuses to come is a picture of what happens in the room. This is the real picture.
Roughly 7 in 10 first calls to our office are made by 1 partner. If that is you, here is the wording that gets a “yes” most often, and what to do if it still gets a “no.”
“I do not want us to keep doing this. I found a practice in Jupiter that does a free 15-minute call first, no commitment. Would you do that one call with me?”

Dr. Colet founded the practice in 2008 and oversees clinical care. Her background in family law means couples who are separating, co-parenting, or facing a custody process get guidance from someone who knows how Florida family courts actually work.

“Everything about her was above and beyond what I had experienced before with other psychologists. She is very matter of fact and doesn’t waste any time, and yet there is most definitely a sense of compassionate wisdom and client care.”
Georgia W.Client, on Dr. Colet
“The staff took the time to explain each step, and the entire experience was both professional and supportive. It has been a crucial part of our treatment plan, and I’m very grateful for their help.”
Christopher S.Client
“Dr. Colet places her clients first and provides each with individualized care, attention to detail, and real-world guidance. I do not hesitate to refer clients to her.”

The Jupiter office at 210 Jupiter Lakes Blvd, Unit 4-201, sits just off Indiantown Road, minutes from I-95 and the Turnpike. Couples from the north county come in; couples further south, or with 2 different work schedules, often meet by secure video from 2 screens.
Couples therapy is treatment where both partners meet with a licensed clinician together. The client is the relationship, not either person. At FC PsychExperts sessions run 50 to 80 minutes and draw on evidence-based approaches for communication, conflict, trust and connection, matched to what the couple wants to change.
This is the most common question we get. You can start alone: an individual session helps you get clear on what you want to say, and many partners agree to attend once they hear it is not about blame. The office can also arrange a 15-minute call with the hesitant partner so they can ask their own questions first.
Yes. Rebuilding trust after infidelity is one of the most common reasons couples come to our Jupiter office. The work is structured: understanding what happened, managing the acute period, and deciding together what the relationship becomes next. It is not a place where 1 partner is put on trial.
Yes. When 1 or both partners are unsure, a short, focused format (often called discernment counseling) helps the couple reach a clear decision: stay as is, separate, or commit to a defined period of therapy. It is usually 1 to 5 sessions and is different from ongoing couples therapy.
Yes. Couples therapy at FC PsychExperts is for any 2 partners: dating, engaged, married, long-term, or co-parenting after separation. Premarital sessions focus on money, family, roles and conflict style before they become the fight.
Focused work often shows change in 8 to 12 sessions. Rebuilding after a breach of trust typically takes longer, 3 to 6 months, and follows a staged plan. Discernment counseling is 1 to 5 sessions. Progress is reviewed together at set points.
Your clinician sets a clear confidentiality agreement at intake. Most couples therapists use a no-secrets policy, which means information shared in a one-on-one portion that affects the relationship may be brought into the joint work. You will know the rules before you start.
Yes. Sessions run in person at the Jupiter office or by secure video from anywhere in Florida. Partners can join from the same room or from separate locations, which many couples with different work schedules prefer.
First couples sessions are usually available within the same week. Call (561) 834-5849 Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM or Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM, or send the form on this page and the office calls back within 1 business day.
Fees and insurance options are confirmed when you call. Many insurers do not cover couples therapy as a standalone service; the office will tell you plainly what applies and can provide a superbill where reimbursement is possible.
A short, no-pressure call with our office. 1 of you or both of you. We answer fees and insurance questions, match you to the right clinician and format, and if it feels right, book the first session. Nothing is decided until you say so.
