Two People, One Team Again
Couples arrive for many reasons: constant fighting, quiet distance, betrayal, mismatched needs around money, parenting, or intimacy — or a good relationship they want to make exceptional. Using emotionally focused therapy and the Gottman Method’s research-backed tools, we help you map your negative cycle, name the needs underneath it, and practice new conversations that actually land.
Your counselor never takes sides. Both partners are heard fully, both are challenged kindly, and every session ends with one concrete practice to try at home.

Couple Questions
Coming together is brave. Call (312) 555-0148 and we will help you take the first step.
Book a ConsultationDo we come together or separately?+
Mostly together — the relationship is the client. After the joint assessment, each partner has one individual meeting so the counselor understands both perspectives fully.
Can counseling help after an affair?+
Often, yes — affair recovery is a specialty here. It takes staged honesty, structured repair, and time, and we will be direct with you about prognosis from the start.
What if my partner won’t come?+
Come alone. Individual sessions focused on the relationship change dynamics more than most people expect — and partners frequently join once they see the shift.
Do you offer premarital counseling?+
Yes — a six-session package covering communication, finances, family, and intimacy, ending with a written strengths report you will keep for years.
