Couples Counseling in Cleveland, OH
The hardest part of couples counseling for most Cleveland partners is not the talking. It is finding one hour that two work schedules and two commutes both agree on. Quez Therapeutic Solutions keeps hours Monday through Saturday until 9:00pm at the Stow office, about 35 to 45 minutes south of downtown, and offers secure video sessions anywhere in Ohio when the drive is the obstacle.
Couples usually arrive with a pattern rather than an incident. The same disagreement that restarts every few weeks in slightly different clothes. A stretch of politeness that feels safer than honesty. Money, parenting, in-laws, a job change, a move, an illness, a slow drift where two people gradually stopped telling each other the small things. None of that means a relationship is broken, and it is not something the two of you are expected to have already sorted out before asking for help.
Joselyn Vasquez, LISW-S, works with couples using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Solution-Focused approach. In practice that means staying close to what actually happens between you — the exchange on Wednesday night that went sideways, the assumption each of you made about the other — and working on the loop itself rather than relitigating a scoreboard. Both people get airtime. Neither one gets recruited to the therapist's side.
Cleveland logistics deserve a plain answer. If one of you works downtown and the other in a suburb, an in-person session at 3653 Darrow Rd, Ste 5 in Stow means two separate drives converging — I-77 South to SR-8 South from the west side and downtown, I-271 South to SR-8 from Shaker Heights, Beachwood, and nearby, each roughly 35 to 45 minutes and heavier at rush hour. Later appointments and Saturday times exist for that reason; regular hours run Monday through Saturday, 9:00am to 9:00pm.
Teletherapy is the other answer, and for two-commute couples it is often the practical one: a secure video session from your own home, anywhere in Ohio, with no one adding an hour and a half of driving to an already long day. Sessions are available in English and Spanish, which matters for couples who move between both. Some couples start on video and shift to the office later, or the other way around, and that is a scheduling decision rather than a clinical one.
Quez Therapeutic Solutions accepts insurance and is in-network with many major plans — including Aetna, Cigna, Medical Mutual, and UnitedHealthcare and others — with a self-pay option and a superbill available for out-of-network reimbursement if your plan is not in-network with us — see the Fees page for current numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How late in the day can we book a couples session?
Regular hours run Monday through Saturday, 9:00am to 9:00pm. Open times within those hours vary, and flexible hours may be offered on request for teletherapy.
Can we meet by video instead of both driving to Stow?
Yes. Teletherapy is available anywhere in Ohio over a secure video connection, which for many Cleveland couples is the difference between a weekly session and no session.
How far is the office from Cleveland?
About thirty miles. Figure 35 to 45 minutes from downtown via I-77 South and SR-8 South, similar from the east side via I-271 South, and longer at rush hour.
Are sessions available in Spanish?
Yes. Joselyn works in English and Spanish, in person in Stow or by teletherapy anywhere in Ohio.
