Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

You've had the same argument four times this month and neither of you can remember how it started. That's usually the point someone finally searches for marriage counselling in Los Angeles. The practices on this page carry 426 reviews combined, with ratings bunched tightly between 4.6 and a perfect 5, so the real differences show up in approach and specialty, not the stars.

Short answer: Succeed with Love and its Beverly Hills practitioner rank first at a perfect 5.0 across 126 reviews, using an attachment-based coaching approach with recorded video lessons alongside live sessions. The Couples Therapy & Reunification Counseling in Montebello (5.0, 84 reviews) and Couples Therapy with Dr. Harel (5.0, 44 reviews) both also hold perfect scores, with fewer reviews behind them so far.

Succeed with Love - Loves Hidden Policy - Los Angeles

5.0126 Google reviews

Succeed with Love runs its Los Angeles practice out of Beverly Hills, part of a small multi-location group also operating in Florida, alongside virtual sessions. Its approach, led by practitioner Tony in the reviews here, draws on affective neuroscience and attachment theory, paired with recorded video lessons that couples work through between live sessions. It's built around loving-relationship coaching specifically, rather than broader mental health treatment.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe the video lessons as genuinely useful, not filler, reinforcing what's covered live
  • Couples say they learned to spot their own communication patterns rather than just being told what to fix
  • Sessions are described as practical, with tools reviewers say they still use daily
  • One couple says real change appeared from the very first session, not after months of work

Our take: It leads this list on a perfect 5.0 across the most reviews of the five, 126 so far. A solid default if a structured, video-supported program appeals more than open-ended talk therapy.

The Couples Therapy & Reunification Counseling – Montebello

5.084 Google reviews

The Couples Therapy & Reunification Counseling, based in Montebello with a second location in Newport Beach, covers couples and marriage counselling alongside reunification family therapy, including court-ordered cases. Therapist Jessica is named directly across most of the reviews here, and the practice also offers telehealth appointments.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe feeling comfortable discussing sensitive family situations from the first session
  • Jessica is repeatedly praised for guidance that goes beyond generic advice, specific to each family's situation
  • One reviewer credits the practice with helping reunite a parent-child relationship, not just a couple
  • Communicative and responsive between sessions, according to several reviews

Worth knowing

  • The practice doesn't list a phone number in its public listing, so reviewers describe reaching out through its website first

Self Help Los Angeles

4.6117 Google reviews

Self Help Los Angeles, in Downey, is built around the M.I.N.D. Method developed by Armando Perez, targeting the repeating conflict patterns that wear couples down over time. The practice runs individual and joint sessions, and also offers a crystal light bed as a separate relaxation add-on. Its site states the method has reached over 30,000 people and that 93% of clients notice a change after a single session, figures from the practice's own marketing rather than independently verified.

What people praise

  • Multiple reviewers credit specific therapists, Tamara and Jason among them, with real progress within a few sessions
  • One couple used the tools taught in-session to work through addiction alongside relationship strain
  • Reviewers describe feeling heard rather than judged, even when discussing difficult topics
  • The crystal light bed add-on is mentioned as a genuinely relaxing extra by more than one reviewer

Worth knowing

  • Its 4.6 average includes a small cluster of 1 and 2-star ratings, so it's worth reading a few of the lower reviews yourself before booking

Our take: Ranks third at 4.6 across 117 reviews, a strong volume for the price point, with the M.I.N.D. Method as its clearest point of difference from the talk-therapy practices around it.

Couples Learn

4.855 Google reviews

Couples Learn, on Beverly Boulevard, runs online and in-person couples and individual therapy, built around an app and client portal that reviewers mention repeatedly. Therapist Sarah Schewitz is named directly across nearly every review here, working with communication patterns and nervous-system regulation techniques.

What people praise

  • Sarah Schewitz is credited by name with helping couples build lasting communication skills, not just talk through one fight
  • The client portal and app are described as genuinely easy to use, not an afterthought
  • One couple, married for years, says the work still felt fresh and specific to them rather than generic
  • A colleague-reviewer, herself a therapist, vouches for the depth of Schewitz's training

Worth knowing

  • It's a smaller practice by review count, 55 so far, so there's less of a track record to judge than the names above it

Couples Therapy with Dr. Harel | Relationship & Marriage Counseling in Los Angeles County

5.044 Google reviews

Couples Therapy with Dr. Harel, based near Beverly Hills, is a solo practice run by Dr. Harel Papikian covering couples and marriage counselling alongside individual therapy, including work around major life transitions. Every review here names him directly, describing a grounded, unhurried style.

What people praise

  • Reviewers repeatedly describe him as patient and direct rather than vague or overly therapeutic in tone
  • One client credits the work with helping navigate a major life transition alongside a partner
  • A self-described analytical, therapy-skeptical reviewer says his style respected how they think rather than pushing emotional language on them
  • Every session is described as ending with something concrete to work on, not just a conversation

Worth knowing

  • As a solo practice, availability is more limited than the multi-therapist groups above it

How we scored these counsellors

Rating is each practice’s live Google average, and review volume tracks how many clients actually left one, benchmarked against every marriage and couples counsellor we could verify in Los Angeles. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a perfect score on well over a hundred reviews carries more weight than the same score on forty. Recency checks how current the reviews still are. None of this can be bought.

How much does marriage counselling cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Session pricing varies widely by therapist license, session length and whether insurance is accepted, and none of the practices here publish a fixed public rate. Expect to be quoted a per-session fee directly during a consultation call, and ask upfront whether your insurance is in-network or reimbursable out-of-network.

Serving Los Angeles and beyond

These five practices sit across Beverly Hills, Montebello, Downey and West Hollywood, and most also run telehealth sessions, so a marriage counsellor near me search doesn’t have to mean an in-person commute if a virtual fit works better for your schedule.

What to ask before your first session

  • What’s your training and approach, and have you worked with couples in a situation like ours before?
  • What does a session cost, and do you accept insurance or offer a sliding scale?
  • How often do you recommend meeting, and for roughly how long?
  • Do you offer both in-person and virtual sessions, and does that change availability?
  • What happens if only one of us wants to keep going?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five marriage counsellors in Los Angeles?

We compared real Google ratings, review volume and recency across every couples and marriage counselling practice we could verify in Los Angeles, then weighted for confidence, since a strong rating on well over a hundred reviews carries more weight than the same score on a handful.

How often is this page updated?

We refreshed the ratings and reviews behind this list in July 2026 and recheck them periodically as new reviews come in.

Is online marriage counselling as effective as in-person?

Several practices on this list, including Succeed with Love and Couples Learn, run regular Zoom sessions alongside in-person ones, and their reviews describe good outcomes either way. It often comes down to what fits your schedule.

What if my partner doesn’t want to go to therapy?

A few practices here, including Couples Therapy with Dr. Harel, also offer individual sessions, so starting alone is an option worth asking about directly.

The bottom line

Succeed with Love is the safest default here, with the strongest combination of a perfect rating and real review volume. If your situation involves a wider family or a reunification, look at The Couples Therapy & Reunification Counseling first. Either way, ask about cost and insurance before your first session, not after.
