COUPLES
THERAPY IN Chicago
Improve communication & restore intimacy.
You love each other, but things are hard right now.
Do you ever feel like you and your partner are speaking two different languages—where every conversation turns into a misunderstanding, the tension lingers even in the silences, and the love that once felt effortless now feels like hard work?.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
Emotionally: Feeling unheard, lonely, or resentful, even when you’re sitting right next to “your person”.
Mentally: Overanalyzing every interaction, second-guessing your partner’s intentions, or feeling exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster.
Physically: Sleepless nights, stress creeping into your body, a lack of affection or intimacy.
Socially: Avoiding time with friends or family because it feels easier than pretending everything’s fine.
Future-oriented: Wondering if things will ever change or if they’re slowly drifting toward an inevitable breaking point.
how We can help
Couples therapy can help rebuild connection, trust, and understanding
Imagine waking up next to your partner feeling lighter, more secure, and truly understood. Instead of walking on eggshells, you both communicate openly—without fear of another argument spiraling out of control. The tension in your home softens, replaced by moments of laughter, warmth, and connection. You no longer feel like roommates or adversaries, but like partners again—on the same team, moving forward together.
At the core, your #1 desire is to feel deeply connected and secure in your relationship again—to know that your partner truly sees you, values you, and wants to work through challenges together. That’s exactly what therapy can help you achieve.
We take a compassionate yet direct approach—helping you and your partner uncover the real issues beneath the surface, not just the symptoms of disconnection. Using emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and practical communication techniques (the Gottman Method), we guide you toward deeper understanding and repair.
Sessions aren’t just about rehashing problems—they’re about learning new ways to navigate conflict, reconnect, and build the kind of relationship where you both feel safe, valued, and loved.

Common questions about couples therapy
-
While couples therapy works best when both partners are involved, you can still make meaningful progress on your own. Individual sessions can help you gain clarity, shift unhealthy dynamics, and introduce changes that may encourage your partner to engage in the process.
-
Not at all. Our approach focuses on breaking unhealthy cycles, improving communication, and strengthening your connection—not assigning blame. While we may explore past experiences, the goal is always to help you move forward in a way that feels healthy and productive.
-
Every couple is different, but many start noticing shifts in communication and connection within the first few sessions. The length of therapy depends on your specific challenges and goals, but our focus is on giving you practical tools and insights that create real change as soon as possible. The goal is always to get you to a point where you no longer need us.
