Most couples who call Prologue have been arguing about the same things for years, or have mostly stopped talking.

2026Prologue is a systemic practice, grounded in marriage and family therapy. The work looks at what happens between the two of you and what each of you brings to it.
Couples sessions draw on the evidence-based Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and CBT, with concrete ways to improve communication, ease resentment, and rekindle friendship and romance.
The Gottman Relationship Checkup is an optional add-on: more than 300 questions, HIPAA-compliant, $39 per couple. Any of our three Gottman-trained clinicians can run it for you.
We adapted the Gottman Method's four phases: Assessment, Treatment, Phasing Out, and Termination. Assessment is where we get to know the two of you. Treatment is the working middle. Phasing Out means sessions space out as things hold steadier. Termination is the final 1-2 sessions to look back on your progress and make a plan to uphold it independently.
That's okay! Our approach to individual counseling is still systemic. Our therapists maintain awareness of how you are impacted by your relationships, and how your decisions and behaviors affect those around you.
Couples therapy assumes both partners are motivated to stay together, and that staying together is safe. If you're not sure that's what you want, we recommend discernment counseling, which is specifically designed for couples on the edge of ending things.
Premarital counseling is built for couples who are already committed, engaged, or heading toward marriage, and who want to prepare for the life ahead. It's for couples who aren't in crisis.
Family therapy is for when the conflict ripples out to the kids, in-laws, or anyone else.
You'll find Prologue Therapy & Relationship Counseling at 4 Main Street, Flemington, NJ 08822, with parking behind the building. We see couples there in person and by video anywhere in New Jersey. We serve Flemington, Clinton, Lambertville, and the surrounding Hunterdon County communities.
Hours are by appointment only, Monday–Thursday 10am–7pm, Friday 10am–5pm, weekends upon request.
Therapy will not create problems. Sometimes it does shine a light on problems that have been lurking under the surface.
We are self-pay, so there's no direct billing to your insurance plan. We work as an out-of-network provider: depending on your plan, out-of-network benefits may reimburse part of the cost after you meet your deductible. Our biller, April, can check your benefits before treatment begins and file claims for you.
You tell us what you're looking for from therapy, and ask whatever questions you have about us and how we do our work. We answer them, share information about the practice logistics, as well as our specialties, price points, and availability.
