Couples Counseling
Couples Counseling
Relationships are hard.
Resolving conflict, communicating effectively, and sharing vulnerable thoughts and feelings is complicated. At Mindful Beginnings, we understand the struggles in relationships. Most couples come to therapy because they do care about each other, but have found themselves in a place where it is hard to communicate this care and resolve conflicts.
You may be stuck in old patterns in your relationship and don’t know how to get out of them. Couples often ask “When is it time to seek help?” You don’t have to wait until you are in crisis to ask for help.
At Mindful Beginnings, we have several therapists who offer a warm, collaborative, non-judgemental space to share your relationship struggles and provide support for you to move toward each other rather than away from each other.
People often worry that your couples therapy may pick sides. Your therapist is there to support the relationship and focus on your needs as a couple. Our couples therapists tailor their approach to meet you where you are. We have therapists trained in Gottman Method, Betrayal Trauma, and EMDR.
Couples May Come To Us For Support With:
Feeling disconnected or emotionally distant
Communication that frequently turns into conflict
Having the same arguments over and over
Difficulty feeling heard or understood
Infidelity or other breaches of trust
Betrayal and the process of rebuilding safety
Resentment or unresolved hurts
Changes in intimacy

Major life transitions
Wanting to strengthen an already healthy relationship
We help build healthy communication and explore your relationship at a deeper level to heal patterns and repair relationship wounds. We don’t believe in just working with the symptoms of your relationship. We want to work with what led to these symptoms.
We are here to meet you both where you are.
Couples counseling is an intentional time and space to focus on your relationship, and build emotional intimacy with your partner…with guidance from a trained professional.
Often Times We Think Couples Counseling Is The “Last Resort”- But Really Couples Counseling Is Proactive In Nature.
The couple’s counselor’s first priority is for both of you to feel emotional safety in working together.
Couples therapy provides a service that helps couples process and repair unresolved wounds, infidelity, conflict, breaches of trust, resentments, and/or miscommunications. You will also learn skills in communication and repair. Your couples therapist will help you and your partner interrupt unhelpful relational patterns, and rebuild your connection, closeness, trust, and responsiveness with one another.
