Nakia Roberson

Hey! I’m Nakia, and I’m here to help you build intimacy, deepen your connection, and turn up the volume on your relationship’s love and appreciation.

 

In just 90, days we will explore how you can connect with your partner and stop feeling like roommates. My husband and I have been together for over 30 years.

 

I know firsthand how difficult it can be when you and your partner are not on the same page. Hell! Not even the same book!

 

I remember early in my relationship wondering if I made a mistake by marrying so young. There were so many things I wanted to do, but I felt we were not a united front.

 

One day after self reflection and watching friends and family members’ relationships fall apart I knew I needed to do something different. I knew I loved my husband, I just didn’t know how to show it.

 

I needed to study him and ask questions to gain clarity (instead of assuming). I learned to be intimate with him in more ways than just the bedroom.

 

The concepts that I teach my clients are the same concepts I used (and I still use) to make home fun in my own relationship of over three decades.

 

These concepts worked so well for hundreds of clients that I have put them together in a single 90-day program called the “Intimacy and Passion Game Plan.” 

 

Let me tell you what I was thinking...

You’re not alone if you’re struggling to keep the spark alive in your relationship. Some experts say that nearly 50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce. If you feel your relationship is in a rut, it’s time to take action.

 

After surveying my clients, the most common issues were…

  • feeling like they’re living like roommates…

  • the connection of friendship and intimacy (including emotional, sexual, and physical) had been replaced with the busyness of being parents…

  • and demands of careers and life’s everyday struggles dragging down their marriage.

​

If you can relate, you have come to the right place.

Here's why...

This “Intimacy and Passion Game Plan” will improve your communication, commitment, and connection to amplify passion and intimacy in just 90 days.

Updated Verticle GP

Here is what we will cover...

Phase 1: Stop Your Relationship from flatlining


We will gain an understanding of your relationship history, including the ways you both came to this point in time. We will look at areas of strength, as well as areas of growth and establish a plan so you can both get on the same page.

Phase 2: Deepen Friendship & Appreciation

 

Phase two is all about deepening the friendship and appreciation between you and your partner. We will focus on bringing back the appreciation, gratitude, and kindness you once had. With these tools, you will be able to create a deeper level of understanding and connection with your partner to create an atmosphere of understanding, trust, and love for each other.

Phase 3: Amplify Passion & Intimacy

​

Phase three is all about igniting the flame of passion and intimacy between partners. You will start working together to make home a fun place to be, and focus on strengthening the team spirit between the two of you. This will help you remember the purpose of your relationship and unlock a deeper level of passion and desire.

Because I'm so passionate about healthy relationships, I want to offer this program to you NOW rather than LATER...

FAQ

Where is your office located?

Therapy takes place virtually, so you can meet your counselor from the comfort of your home.

​

Do I need special equipment?

You just need a device with a camera and microphone, and a private, quiet space.

​

Which counselor will I see?

After your initial consultation with Nakia Roberson, she’ll help you decide which counselor is the best fit for you. That may be based on what you’re wanting to work on or your schedule availability.

​

What are your hours?

Hours vary by therapist, as each clinician sets their own schedule. We offer flexible appointment times, including some evening and weekend availability. Please check your therapist’s calendar or contact us to find a time that works best for you.

​

Do you take insurance?

Some of our counselors accept insurance, while others are private pay. Private pay services are considered out-of-network, and we do not bill insurance directly. We can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. We recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card to ask about your out-of-network benefits. 

​

Why would I not want to use my insurance benefits?

Using insurance for mental health care has some considerations:

  • Diagnosis Required: Insurance often requires a mental health diagnosis for coverage. While our counselors are trained to provide diagnoses, we prefer to focus on growth and support without labeling whenever possible.

  • Limited Coverage: Insurance may limit the number of sessions or the techniques we can use, which can restrict the full range of therapy tools available to you.

  • Privacy Concerns: Using insurance means your treatment becomes part of your insurance history and could be considered a pre-existing condition, potentially affecting future insurance coverage.

​

Couples Counseling and Insurance:
We do not accept insurance for couples counseling. Many insurance plans do not cover couples therapy, and filing a claim would require providing details about both partners, which raises privacy concerns. Couples sessions are best handled privately so we can provide the most effective and confidential care.

​

How long is a session?

Most sessions last 45–60 minutes, depending on the service, unless otherwise noted. If a longer session is needed, we’ll discuss it with you when scheduling.

​

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies for each person, depending on your individual needs, goals and challenges. Scheduling and attending sessions regularly and completing any homework or exercises your counselor assigns can help you make progress.

​

How much do you charge?

Fees vary based on the counselor’s experience and credentials, ranging from $100 to $215 per hour. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards. Payments are processed through HIPAA-compliant platforms like IVYPay, SimplePractice, or Headway, which protect your information and only store the last 4 digits of your card. Payment in full is expected at the time of your session.
