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 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. Nicole Locorriere, LMFT, holds Gottman Level 1 and 2 certificates.
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 planned final session.
That's okay, because you can still come on your own and talk about the relationship.
Couples therapy assumes both partners are motivated to stay, and that staying together is safe. If you're not sure you want to stay together, 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 doesn't stop at the two of you and runs through kids, in-laws, and the whole household.
You'll find Prologue Therapy & Relationship Counseling at 4 Main Street, Flemington, NJ 08822, with parking in the rear. 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. It gives the problems that are already there a place to come up.
We don't participate with insurance panels, so there's no direct billing to your plan. We work as an out-of-network provider: depending on your plan, out-of-network benefits may reimburse part of the cost after your deductible. Our biller, April, can check your benefits before treatment begins and file claims for you.
You say what you're looking for and ask whatever questions you have.
