Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is a form of therapy focused on improving and maintaining the relationship’s well-being. Couples counseling at Behr Psychology helps couples resolve issues within an intimate relationship by improving communication, resolving conflicts, rebuilding trust, and enhancing intimacy between partners. Whether you’re married, engaged, or in a long-term partnership, our trained therapists will help you work through your issues and better understand how your experiences overlap, how they differ, how that affects your choices today, and how that impacts your relationship. 

At Behr Psychology, we offer marriage and premarital therapy and work with inter-racial, inter-ethnic, and inter-religious couples, couples with children, couples planning a family, couples splitting up, couples figuring out their goals, and couples wanting to improve their communication skills. Our psychologists are all culturally aware, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and accepting of all lifestyle choices.

You can expect relationship therapy sessions where both partners work with a therapist to explore and address relationship dynamics. You can expect to work with a highly trained therapist to set goals from therapy and address the issues that threaten or weaken your relationship in a safe and impartial environment. Therapy usually occurs weekly, and each session lasts about one hour.

Couples counseling can benefit any couple. Whether you want to improve mutual understanding, develop effective communication and conflict resolution skills, strengthen emotional connection, or rekindle intimacy, our qualified therapists can help.

Therapy for couples also provides a safe and unbiased setting to address financial disagreements and parenting style differences that create conflict without a relationship. Finally, couples therapy is a supportive place to recover from infidelity and rebuild trust.

We will help you to build healthy communication skills and avoid getting stuck in unhealthy and unhelpful cycles.
