Understanding Couples Therapy

Couples therapy focuses on improving communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening intimacy between partners. It’s not about assigning blame — it’s about helping both people feel heard, respected, and valued.

Our therapists guide couples through honest, structured conversations that uncover the deeper emotions and needs behind recurring conflicts. Together, partners learn how to listen with empathy, express themselves clearly, and rebuild trust and connection.

Our Approach to Couples Therapy

Our approach is collaborative and supportive, helping couples work together instead of against each other. We use evidence-based methods that focus on empathy, understanding, and change:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps couples identify emotional needs and rebuild attachment.
• Gottman Method Therapy: Focuses on communication skills and conflict resolution.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Addresses unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that impact relationships.
• Relational Therapy: Encourages openness and deeper understanding between partners.
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Helps couples manage stress and stay present during difficult conversations.

Each session provides tools to help you understand patterns, manage emotions, and restore connection with compassion.
