Welcome
Counseling that feels like a conversation, not a courtroom.
Most couples who call us aren't on the edge of divorce. They're tired. They have the same argument every few weeks, they feel more like roommates than partners, or a big change has knocked them off balance. Calvin Hernandez founded Twinoak to give those couples a calm, structured place to reconnect.
Sessions are practical. You'll leave each one with something to try at home — a conversation framework, a weekly check-in, a way to pause before things boil over. Over time those small habits add up.

- Joint intake session
An 80-minute first meeting with both partners to understand your history and goals.

One short session with each partner so everyone has a chance to speak freely.

A written summary of focus areas and a suggested session rhythm — usually weekly at first.
“A good relationship isn't one without conflict. It's one where both people trust the repair.”
— Calvin Hernandez, founder

Common questions
Before you call
Do both partners need to attend?
Ideally yes, but if one partner isn't ready, an individual session about the relationship can be a good first step.
How long does couples counseling usually take?
Many couples notice a difference within 6–8 sessions. Others continue for several months. You decide the pace.
Do you take insurance?
We are an out-of-network practice and provide superbills you can submit to your insurer. See Fees.
