Affordable Therapy
Affordable, Skills Based Therapy and Coaching for Individuals, Couples, and Families
Five focused Relational Life Therapy sessions designed to help you communicate more clearly, take accountability, and begin repairing what feels stuck.
You are not alone in feeling stuck. Repair is possible.
Who This is For
This program is for individuals and couples who:
- Feel stuck in repeating conflict
- Are navigating betrayal, distance, or disconnection
- Want to strengthen communication before problems escalate
- Are unsure whether to stay or separate
- Are seeking a more affordable option than traditional private therapy
Relational Life Therapy is direct, skills based, and focused on accountability and repair. Many participants report meaningful shifts within five sessions.
How It Works
- Complete our confidential inquiry form
- Agree upon a comfortable per session rate
- Get matched with an RLT practitioner-in-training
- Complete your 15 minute discovery session
- Complete five structured sessions
Please note: we do not offer refunds. If the fit is not right after your first or second session, we will help you transition to another practitioner for the remaining sessions.
What Makes This Approach Different
Relational Life Therapy goes beyond exploring feelings. It teaches practical, relational skills:
- Clear communication
- Boundary setting
- Accountability without shame
- Conflict repair
- Moving from reactivity to thoughtful response
This work is grounded in Relational Life Therapy, developed by Terry Real, and practiced worldwide.
For RLT Practitioners in Training
Our sliding scale program connects individuals and couples with RLT practitioners who are completing advanced training through the Relational Life Institute. By participating, you can gain experience using RLT while helping make relational support more financially accessible.
This opportunity may be a good fit if you are actively completing RLT training, are a licensed therapist or certified coach, can donate five sessions, and feel prepared to work independently within your professional scope.
Meet Our Practitioners
Our practitioners are either licensed therapists or certified coaches who are completing advanced training through the Relational Life Institute. All services are provided independently by each practitioner. The Relational Life Foundation does not guarantee outcomes.

View profileFrequently Asked Questions
Can five sessions really make a difference?
Five sessions are not a full course of therapy, but they can create meaningful momentum. Many participants report clearer insight into their patterns, stronger communication tools, and a better understanding of how to take accountability and repair after conflict.
The purpose of this program is to introduce practical relational skills and interrupt stuck cycles. Some participants choose to continue working with their practitioner beyond the initial sessions, while others use the tools learned to continue growth on their own.
How much does it cost?
We offer five sessions at a sliding scale rate based on household income and financial circumstances. Our goal is to make relational support accessible while honoring the professional time of our practitioners.
Specific fees are discussed after you complete the inquiry form before you are connected with a practitioner. Note: we do not offer refunds.
Who provides the therapy/coaching?
Sessions are provided by Relational Life Therapy practitioners who are completing advanced training through the Relational Life Institute. Each practitioner is either a licensed therapist or certified coach in their respective regions.
Each practitioner operates independently. The Relational Life Foundation facilitates matching and access but does not provide direct clinical services.
Are sessions virtual or in person?
Many practitioners offer virtual sessions, making this program accessible regardless of location. Some also offer in person sessions depending on geography.
You can indicate your preference when completing the inquiry form.
What if the practitioner is not a good fit?
Fit matters. If after your first or second session you feel the match is not right, we will support a transition to another practitioner for your remaining sessions.
We do not offer refunds, but we are committed to helping you find a practitioner you feel safe with, challenged by, and supported by.
Is this traditional couples therapy?
Relational Life Therapy is a direct, skills based approach. It emphasizes accountability, clear communication, and structured conflict repair. Many participants appreciate that the work is active and focused rather than open ended.
Can individuals participate, or is this only for couples?
Both individuals and couples are welcome. While much of RLT focuses on partnership dynamics, the skills are equally powerful for individuals seeking to improve communication, boundaries, and relational patterns.
Is this program confidential?
Yes. Your inquiry form and sessions with your practitioner are confidential. Each practitioner follows the confidentiality standards required by their professional licensure or coaching certification.
What happens after the five sessions?
At the end of the program, you and your practitioner can decide whether to continue working together. We recommend discussing ongoing fees during your discovery call to ensure alignment. There is no obligation to continue past your five sessions.
Do you offer refunds?
We do not offer refunds. If your practitioner is not a good fit, we are happy to reassign you to a different one.
