Maybe your relationship has felt a bit like this lately…
… stuck in a pattern of big emotions and big arguments. If you’re honest, you’ve been losing control of your tone and volume sometimes.
… shrinking yourself to make room for your partner, trying harder and harder to blend in. All the while wondering, who have I become?
… working hard to meet your partner’s needs and desires but it just never seems to land. What happened to all that clear communication?
Maybe kids came along and changed everything.
Maybe you’ve grown apart.
Maybe one of you is on the verge of leaving.
Do you miss the days when it all seemed beautiful?
Couples Therapy
Relationships are hard work and it is okay to need a little help sometimes. Attending couples therapy can feel intimidating and vulnerable but we are here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re looking for premarital counseling or you’re 20 years into your relationship, couples therapy can be a great fit for you.
Couples therapy can help partners understand the patterns shaping their relationship, identify strengths, improve communication, deepen emotional connection, and work toward healthier, more effective ways of navigating challenges together. At Songbird Psychological Services, we take an approach to couples therapy that integrates the work and research of the Gottman Approach (Drs. Gottman), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Hope-Focused Approach (Drs. Everett and Ripley). We also offer Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO, IFS for couples).
What clients are a right fit?

are navigating a trauma history in one or both partners
are in a journey of repair due to substance use
