The story of how we got started
Welcome to Couples Therapy Inc. – I’m Dr. Kathy McMahon, the president, founder, and a clinical psychologist.
My own relationship challenges and experience with ineffective couples therapy were painful. Like many of you, I received inadequate couples therapy and quit, believing it was my relationship that failed, not the therapy.
I then divorced.
Years later, when I learned about science-based couples therapy, I was upset that no one (other than those same institutes) was talking about how damaging poor couples therapy is.
What passes for therapy with couples continues to this day to be insurance-driven and too often utterly ineffective. More than a decade ago, I decided to do something about it.
I began networking with skilled couples therapists and asked them if they’d be willing to devote part of their practice to doing marriage retreats and online couples therapy with me. I was surprised by the warm reception!
It turns out that they yearned to be part of a true couples therapy group. Most told me it was lonely to be the sole couples therapist among a sea of individual therapists.
Couples Therapy Inc. was born.
We’ve been practicing online internationally, as well as conducting in-person intensive couples therapy retreats, for the entire decade we’ve been a clinical practice.
If you’re unsure about whether couples therapy is right for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for a free phone consultation. Let us help you and your partner reignite your relationship!
Sincerely, Dr. K
Kathy McMahon, Psy.D. Psychologist, Sex Therapist and President and Founder of Couples Therapy Inc.

What is important
Our core beliefs & values
We have always been international by intention. We value a broad tapestry of ages, ethnicities, languages, and knowledge, but we all share a passion for working with couples.
Our Team of Experts
You’ll find only highly qualified therapists here
Half of our group have doctoral degrees; one-third have the coveted title “Certified Gottman Therapist” (less than 500 worldwide claim that title). Advanced training in multiple models and a decade or more of experience working with couples make our group uniquely suited to help. Discernment Counseling, Imago, and Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy are just some of the additional training they possess.
