Why Do People Schedule Couples Counseling? 

Our knowledgeable therapists offer couples counseling for partners who are looking to build a healthy foundation for their relationship, restore a thriving partnership after betrayal or loss of closeness, or improve upon your relationship to keep it healthy and happy. In addition to these general ways we help couples, there are many specific reasons that partners choose to schedule counseling sessions, including:  

• Escalating conflicts. 

• Emotional distance and loneliness.
