Couples in Crisis

(682) 259-5563

From Conflict to Connection

When a relationship hits a breaking point, waiting days or weeks for help can make the pain feel unbearable. That’s why I offer Couples in Crisis sessions, immediate, therapeutic support for couples who are struggling to find their way out of a dark or overwhelming moment.

These sessions are available any hour of the day:

  • late nights

  • early mornings

  • weekends

  • after-hours

If you and your partner are in the middle of a conflict, feeling disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You can also use this service to schedule a full session with me, Marcia Deah, within a 24‑hour period. When the moment feels too heavy to carry, I’m here to help you steady the ground beneath you. You can reach me via phone call (682) 259-5563.

FYI: Depending on the day I am in session anywhere between 9:00am - 8:00pm or just dealing with life. Since this is a courtesy service, please note that I cannot guarantee that I will always be available but will get back to you at my earliest availability. If I do not answer, please feel free to leave a voicemail and/or text me with:

  • Your Name

  • A Good Call Back Number

  • A Brief Reason for your call or text

SAFETY FIRST: This service is not a substitute for emergency responders. If you or anyone else is in immediate danger, call 911. I do not enter or remain in environments where violence, threats, or unsafe behavior are present.

PAYMENT NOTICE: Crisis sessions require payment prior to the session. • In‑Person Crisis Session: $175 • Telehealth Crisis Session: $150 Payments must be sent via Zelle or Cash App before the session begins.

📝 BEFORE YOU REQUEST AN IN‑PERSON CRISIS SESSION

Please review the following guidelines to ensure this service is appropriate, safe, and aligned with your needs:

  • This is not emergency response. If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911 before requesting support.

  • The environment must be safe and non‑violent. I cannot enter or remain in a home or location where there is active aggression, threats, or physical harm.

  • We offer a neutral space to meet! I will meet you at a public location such as a park, my office (located in Hurst TX), a lake, etc. We will discuss a place that is comfortable for both you and me.

  • If the situation escalates before I arrive, call 911. Emergency responders must be contacted first if safety becomes a concern.

  • I will call 911 if the environment feels unsafe. If I arrive and observe violence, threats, or dangerous behavior, I will remove myself and contact law enforcement.

  • Violence or threats will end the session immediately. This includes physical aggression, intimidation, destruction of property, or threatening behavior toward your partner or toward me.

  • Both partners must agree to participate respectfully. Crisis support requires emotional safety, willingness, and basic cooperation.

  • Telehealth is available if in‑person is not safe. A secure telehealth session may be the safer option if the environment is escalated.

  • Sessions are 60–90 minutes. This allows time to de‑escalate, stabilize, and support both partners.

  • Payment is required before the session begins. • In‑Person Crisis Session: $175 • Telehealth Crisis Session: $150 Payments must be sent via Zelle or Cash App to confirm your appointment.

These guidelines protect you, your partner, and me — and ensure the session remains therapeutic, not dangerous.

Crisis Support Safety & Boundaries FAQ

  • No. I am not a replacement for police, emergency responders, or crisis intervention teams. If you believe anyone is in immediate danger — including yourself — you must call 911 right away.

  • Your safety and mine are the top priority. If I arrive and the situation appears dangerous, threatening, or unstable, I will contact 911 immediately. This includes any signs of violence, escalation, or risk of harm.

  • No. I will not enter or remain in any environment where violence is happening or likely to occur. If I observe violent behavior — physical, verbal, or threatening — I will remove myself from the situation and call 911.

  • I will not accept or engage with:

    • Physical violence

    • Threats or intimidation

    • Destruction of property

    • Aggressive behavior toward your partner or toward me

    • No weapons of any kind

    Any of these behaviors will result in the session ending immediately and law enforcement being contacted.

  • If the conflict becomes unsafe at any point, please call 911 first. You can still request crisis support afterward, but emergency responders must be contacted when safety is at risk.

  • Yes — as long as the environment is safe, I can help you stabilize the moment, communicate more clearly, and navigate the emotional intensity. But I cannot intervene in situations involving violence or threats of harm.

  • Crisis work requires clarity, stability, and protection for everyone involved. These boundaries ensure that:

    • You receive appropriate emergency support when needed

    • I can provide care without risking harm

    • The session remains therapeutic, not dangerous

    My goal is to support you — safely, ethically, and effectively.

  • Yes. For safety and clinical support, I may bring a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) with me to an in‑person crisis session when it is clinically appropriate. Crisis work can be unpredictable, and having an additional licensed or credentialed professional present helps maintain a safe environment, supports effective de‑escalation, and strengthens the therapeutic process.

    The QMHP is bound by the same confidentiality laws, ethical standards, and professionalism required in all clinical settings. Their role is strictly supportive and within their professional scope. This protocol is a standard safety measure designed to protect everyone involved and ensure the highest quality of care during crisis situations.

Availability Notice: Couples in Crisis sessions are offered as promptly as possible, including after‑hours, late nights, and early mornings. However, immediate availability cannot be guaranteed. This service is provided based on availability and is not a 24/7 emergency response line. If you or anyone else is in immediate danger, please call 911 before requesting support. Crisis sessions require payment prior to the appointment: $175 for in‑person and $150 for telehealth, payable via Zelle or Cash App.

  • Couples in Crisis is an immediate support option for partners who are experiencing a painful or overwhelming moment in their relationship. It provides real‑time guidance, stabilization, and therapeutic intervention when waiting for a traditional appointment isn’t possible.

  • This service is available any hour of the day, late nights, early mornings, weekends, and after-hours. Relationship crises don’t follow a schedule, and your support shouldn’t either.

  • A crisis can be anything that feels emotionally intense, destabilizing, or urgent, including:

    • A major argument that escalated quickly

    • Emotional shutdown or withdrawal

    • Discovery of infidelity or betrayal

    • Feeling unsafe in the relationship dynamic

    • A moment where communication has completely broken down

    • A situation where both partners feel stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless

    If it feels like “too much” to handle alone, this service is appropriate.

  • Not exactly. Couples in Crisis is designed for immediate intervention, grounding, and de-escalation. It helps you stabilize the moment so you can think clearly and move forward with intention. I do recommend that you and your partner(s) transition into ongoing couples counseling , but it is ultimately up to you.

  • Yes. Couples using this service can book a full session with me, Marcia Deah, within 24 hours for continued support, deeper exploration, and long-term healing. I recommend continued support after a crisis situation.

  • Crisis sessions typically last 60–90 minutes. This extended time frame allows enough space to de‑escalate the moment, stabilize emotions, and ensure both partners feel supported and grounded before the session ends. The goal is not to rush the process, but to create a safe, steady environment where clarity and calm can begin to return.

  • Absolutely. All sessions follow the same confidentiality standards as traditional therapy, with the same ethical and legal protections. A quick easy to fill out form will be sent for you and your partner to sign before we can proceed with services.

  • Ideally, yes … but if one partner is unavailable or unwilling in the moment, one partner can still receive support to help de-escalate the situation and prepare for next steps.

  • If you’re questioning it, that’s usually a sign that support is needed. This service is designed to meet you exactly where you are … whether the moment feels chaotic, confusing, or simply too heavy to navigate alone.
