Couples Therapy | Premarital Counseling | Christian Couples Counseling | Therapy for Domestic Violence
You are not broken or getting it wrong if therapy feels like the next needed line of support for your relationship. Seeking therapy isn’t an act of desperation, or a last attempt to save something. Therapy is a supportive measure that can fit any relationship, any time
Whether you are still working through the boundaries and communication styles we learn in the early stages of relationships, or you are trying to focus on mediating differences for a peaceful resolution, you belong here
Therapy is not for the broken, it’s for the determined, and we are determined to help you in finding your most fulfilling space in your relationship
Choosing the right therapist for yourself and your spouse may feel impossible when you’re not sure where to begin
Our admissions coordinator can help you get connected to the right therapist for you!

For Couples Preparing For Marriage
Planning feels a lot like walking a tightrope between dreaming and terror. Marriage is the ultimate task in planning a forever with another person, and even with all the love in the world filling your hearts, that can feel daunting
We want to support you in asking the questions you need answers to about the shape of the future you hope to create together. In premarital counseling, we can help support you in a variety of steps to prepare your relationship for marriage, and your marriage for success:
Discussing decisions for the future like children, career, education, finances and expectations around the home
Developing a communication style that will carry you through harmony and disagreement
Hearing one another even when it’s difficult
Asking questions that feel scary or confusing
Support For Any Stage Of A Relationship
Therapy can be the right next step for any relationship, any time
For new starts
Early on in a relationship is the perfect time to reach for the support of a qualified therapist. Ensuring compatibility begins with working through boundaries, communication styles and developing trust in spaces so each partner feels safe and heard
Giving your relationship a solid foundation from early on is a power move, not a failing. Set yourself up for clarity and you will reach more smoothly for success. These early relationships can benefit from intercepting potential incompatibilities and working together with a qualified therapist to overcome them or identify the spaces that can’t be bridged
When you’ve experienced loss
Life after loss is painful. Love after loss can be even more so. How do you move through the future when your grief tethers you to the past? What if your heartache overwhelms your partner?
The paralyzing weight of grief alongside the fear of more loss can make a dangerous combination for couples who are navigating it. Whether one or both of you is managing grief, life will never look the same again. The landscape of life changes after loss, and you don’t have to know how to navigate this new space no one wants to exist in
You do not have to know how you’re going to do this. You only have to know you want to navigate it together, and we can help
When you feel far apart
The ebb and flow of relationships is natural. We flow together, carried along by our love and connection. We are tethered to one another in our intimacy and through time. That same passing of time can pull us away, stretching that connection taut in different directions. It’s all a part of life but the key is knowing when the tension is too high so that instead of pulling until you snap, you can find slack in the line and support one another back to safety
You already have your tether, so let us help you find the slack. Couples counseling isn’t a lifeline, your relationship doesn’t need one. We can merely help you find the spaces where the tension feels less so you can flow together once more
For starting again
Just because it’s not your first start doesn’t mean your relationship can’t have a fresh start. Couples therapy can help you both to navigate the difficulties of past hurt, new circumstances or big life changes
If you’ve moved through crisis and now you’re left asking, “What happens now?”, we can help
Much like early relationship counseling, we can navigate the fears, thoughts and hopes for the future after a big relationship change. Through positive psychology and behavior modification we can make your next start the best yet
For Those Who Have Experienced Domestic Violence
Once violence becomes a part of a relationship, it changes the landscape forever.
In some situations, the relationship must continue in some form. Children between partners who have a history of abuse can complicate the ways in which you navigate the healing that comes after. We are here to help support you, heal you and give you the tools you need to create a secure future for yourself and your loved ones
If you have been hurt by your spouse
Establishing trust and healing moving forward may feel paralyzing. Being violated in your intimate relationships shakes the very foundation of how you love and connect, but you are not at fault
Let’s work together to heal your past for a brighter future
If you have hurt your spouse
You may feel at a loss for what happened or how to move forward from here. Understanding the consequences of what’s happened is the first step toward making a change moving forward
We can work together on the second: understanding your behavior and how to change it in the future
Whether you’re navigating questions and loss or new boundaries to ensure safety, you do not have to do it alone. We are uniquely certified experts in domestic violence recovery and believe that working with both sides leads to a less violent society
If you are in danger, don’t wait for a response, please seek emergency support immediately.
For Those Looking for Faith-based Relationship Support
If you are seeking a counseling relationship that is as rooted in faith as your marriage is, Christian marriage therapy is the place for you. We offer skilled Christian therapists to help you navigate complex topics at the intersection of life and spirituality with a compassionate tone rooted in God and the faith you can always fall back on
Christian therapy puts a strong emphasis on using scripture and religion to actively contribute to the tools we can create together to keep your roots in love and faith feeling strong. By removing blame and instead focusing on behavior modification and communication, we will lean on God to fortify your love
