Couples Therapy
Every couple has recurring arguments. The question is never whether conflict exists — it's whether there's a way through it that doesn't leave damage behind. Couples therapy gives you the tools, the map, and a skilled witness who can help you see your patterns clearly enough to actually change them.
Who Comes to Couples Therapy?
You don't need to be in crisis to come to couples therapy. We work with couples at all stages — those in real difficulty, those navigating a specific challenge, and those who are doing okay and want to go deeper.
Communication breakdownThe same argument, over and over, with different topics but the same pattern underneath — and nobody wins
Trust repairRebuilding after infidelity, a significant breach, or years of small disconnections that have accumulated
Life transitionsHaving a baby, navigating major career changes, moving — the stress that reveals cracks that were already there
Growing apartFeeling more like roommates than partners, and wanting to find your way back to each other
The Gottman Method
Our couples therapists are trained in the Gottman Method — one of the most rigorously researched approaches to couples work available. Rather than teaching scripts, it helps you understand the patterns underneath your conflict and build something more durable.
We begin with three assessment sessions — one joint session and one individual session with each partner — before beginning the work together. This gives us a real picture of what's happening rather than just the presenting problem.
Most couples wait six years after problems start before seeking help. The ones who come early have the most room to work with.

Common Questions
The Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy developed over 40 years of research. It provides a framework for understanding relationship dynamics, identifying destructive patterns, and building healthier ways of connecting.
Yes, for couples therapy both partners attend together. In some cases we may also schedule individual sessions as part of the assessment process. If only one partner is willing to come, we can still offer individual therapy to support that person's growth.
Couples therapy often takes longer than individual therapy because relational patterns are deeply entrenched. Most couples see meaningful progress within 20–30 sessions. Some finish sooner; others choose to continue longer.
It depends on many factors, including the severity of the issues, whether both partners are genuinely willing to do the work, and whether there are safety concerns. We'll give you an honest assessment after the initial sessions.
