What is Couples Therapy?

Couples therapy isn't just for relationships in crisis; it's for any partnership looking to grow stronger together.

Whether you're facing communication breakdowns, recovering from betrayal, or simply feeling disconnected, couples therapy provides tools and insights to help you rediscover trust, respect, and emotional closeness.

We understand that love isn't always enough to overcome the challenges that relationships face. Sometimes you need a skilled guide to help you navigate difficult conversations, understand each other's perspectives, and build healthier patterns of connection.

We use evidence-based approaches tailored to meet your unique relationship goals.

COUPLES THERAPY WORKSHOP

In addition to individual couples therapy, we're excited to offer The Gottman Institute's Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Program, a structured workshop designed to strengthen relationships through proven tools and techniques.

Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Workshop

This workshop helps couples improve friendship, fondness, and admiration in their relationship while enhancing romance and intimacy.

You'll learn to manage conflict constructively, develop skills to address both perpetual and solvable problems, create shared meaning together, and build tools to maintain gains throughout your lifetime.

Please note that this workshop is not appropriate for couples experiencing severe relationship distress, emotional abuse, domestic violence, active addictions, or serious mental health concerns in either partner.

Workshop Format

The program consists of three sessions that combine expert guidance with private couple exercises. You won't share personal problems in front of others; this is about learning and practicing skills together. The workshop is led by Tonya Washington-Hendricks, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and certified Gottman Leader.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is perfect for pre-engaged and premarital couples, newlyweds to couples married for decades, those wanting to enhance an already good marriage, and partners needing better conflict management tools.

Session 1: $175 per couple
