Couples counseling and marriage counseling in Atherton

Private, Discreet Support for High Net Worth Couples

Relationships are at the center of our lives — but even the strongest partnerships can face moments of strain. For couples balancing demanding careers, financial complexity, family responsibilities, and personal challenges, it’s not uncommon to feel disconnected or uncertain about the path forward.

Dr. Jené Verchick provides private couples counseling and marriage counseling in Atherton, with a specialization in working with high net worth couples who value discretion, professionalism, and results.

Why Couples Seek Therapy

Couples come to therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating periods of transition, while others feel stuck in patterns of conflict, miscommunication, or distance. Common challenges include:

Communication breakdowns and feeling unheard
Conflict around money, parenting, or extended family
Infidelity, betrayal, or a loss of trust
Intimacy and connection issues
Preparing for marriage or re-marriage (premarital counseling)
Life transitions such as retirement, relocation, or “empty nest” shifts

No matter the circumstances, therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore challenges, rebuild trust, and rediscover connection.

Dr. Jené Verchick’s Approach

"My husband runs a major company, but at home I felt like I was last on his priority list. I was tired of competing with his phone, his board meetings, and constant travel. Dr. Verchick gave us a space where I could finally be heard without it turning into another argument. For the first time in years, he really listened to me. Our marriage feels stronger and more equal now."

"Life in venture capital is fast, unpredictable, and all-consuming. I reached out to Dr. Verchick because I felt like my husband’s work had taken over our marriage. I didn’t want to be an afterthought anymore. Therapy gave us tools to communicate without blame, and it reminded my husband that our relationship deserves just as much attention as his portfolio. It has changed the way we connect."

"Being married to someone in private equity, I knew the hours would be long and the pressure intense. But what I didn’t expect was how isolated I would feel in my own marriage. I contacted Dr. Verchick when I was at my breaking point. She helped us cut through the constant tension and rebuild trust. I no longer feel invisible — I feel like a partner again."

"I’ve built a successful career of my own, but at home I felt like my accomplishments didn’t matter. I was exhausted from being treated like the supporting character in my own life. Dr. Verchick helped us confront that imbalance head-on. My husband finally saw how much it hurt to feel dismissed. Now we have a healthier dynamic, one where both of us are respected and valued."
