Couples Counseling
Parenthood Can Change Everything About Your Relationship
Pregnancy, postpartum, and the journey to grow a family can put more strain on a relationship than many couples expect. Sleepless nights, shifting roles, fertility challenges, grief, or the stress of parenting can make it harder to communicate, connect, or feel close.
Whether you’re feeling like roommates, stuck in the same arguments, or unsure how to reconnect, couples counseling can help you find your way back to each other. You may find yourselves:
Arguing more often—or about the same things over and over
Feeling disconnected or more like “roommates” than partners
Struggling to balance responsibilities, intimacy, and emotional needs
Carrying unspoken resentment, sadness, or grief
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a breaking point during these seasons, but with the right support, your relationship can become stronger—not just survive.

Couples Counseling FAQs
Will couples therapy just make us argue more?
No. A trained therapist helps you communicate safely and productively, so conversations don’t spiral.
Do we both have to come to every session?
Ideally, yes, but sometimes one partner starts individually to build insight before joint sessions.
Can couples therapy help if we’re considering separation?
Yes. Therapy can help you make decisions with clarity—whether that means repairing, rebuilding, or parting peacefully.
Is couples therapy only for married couples?
Not at all. We support couples at all stages—dating, engaged, newly married, or parenting together.
