Couples Counseling

Building Stronger, Healthier Connections

Couples therapy isn’t about “taking sides”—it’s about creating a safe space for both partners to feel heard and understood.

Couples therapy at Allied Psychotherapy Group begins with relationship-building. Together, we’ll establish clear goals for your therapy and a collaborative path to meet those goals. Our therapists help couples gain clarity around their needs and challenges, while also highlighting areas for growth and change. The goal is to give you the tools to create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. We focus on understanding what works (or doesn’t work) in your relationship and helping you apply strategies to bridge gaps, build trust, and communicate better.

What Happens in a Session

Every couples therapy session begins with a check-in. Together, we’ll take the pulse of where you’re at as a couple and identify the most pressing topics to address. From there, we’ll dive into the work:

Listening to each partner’s perspective and validating their experiences.
Encouraging open, honest communication between partners.
Teaching tools and strategies for active listening, empathy, and effective conflict resolution.
Revisiting themes or changes from previous sessions to ensure progress is being made.
Exploring new ways to approach recurring challenges in your relationship.

Sessions conclude with a reflection period, where we check in with both partners to see how the session felt and, if appropriate, suggest homework or themes to reflect on before the next meeting.
