The most successful counseling outcomes begin with the confidence that your therapist can understand your obstacles and create a safe place for you to explore, gain understanding, and develop skills for coping and resilience.

Consultations can be done either In Person or Virutally!  Just find a time that’s convenient to you.

Have Questions About Couples Therapy?

Find quick answers about what to expect, how it works, and how to get started with the right couple therapist for you.

What is the purpose of couples therapy?

The purpose of couples counselling is to help partners understand one another more deeply, heal emotional injuries, and create healthier patterns. We support teamwork, repair, and long-term relationship satisfaction.

What type of therapy is best for couples?

Most couples benefit from research-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. Our couples therapy team uses these proven methods to help improve communication, rebuild trust, and restore connection.

Should each person in the couple see the same therapist?

In most cases, working with the same therapist supports fairness, shared understanding, and collaborative progress. Your therapist will guide both of you together as you learn new skills and rebuild connection.

What is a first couples session like?

Your therapist will get to know both of you, understand your concerns, and discuss what you hope to change. Many couples feel relief simply by having a safe space to talk openly with a couples therapist.

How do I know if couples therapy is working?

You may start noticing better communication, reduced tension, and a stronger sense of being heard and understood. Progress often shows up through small but meaningful improvements that build over time.
