Couples therapy provides a supportive environment where you and your partner can address challenges, improve communication, and strengthen your connection. Whether you're experiencing specific conflicts, feeling disconnected, or simply want to enhance an already strong relationship, our approach is tailored to meet your unique needs.

At Heal Your Roots Wellness, we believe that relationship difficulties often stem from patterns that have developed over time. Our therapists work with you to identify these patterns, understand their origins, and develop healthier ways of relating to each other.

Our Couples Therapy Process

1. Initial Joint Session: We begin with both partners sharing their perspectives on the relationship, current concerns, and goals for therapy.
2. Individual Sessions: Each partner meets with the therapist individually to explore personal history, family dynamics, and individual perspectives.
3. Ongoing Couples Sessions: Together, we work on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns, improving communication, and building a stronger connection.
4. Skill Building: We teach practical tools for effective communication, conflict resolution, emotional regulation, and intimacy enhancement.
5. Progress Assessment: We regularly review progress toward your goals and adjust our approach as needed.

Our Approach

Our therapists draw from several evidence-based approaches to couples therapy, including:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps couples identify and transform negative interaction patterns into moments of connection and security.
• The Gottman Method: Based on decades of research on what makes relationships succeed or fail, focusing on building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning.
• Narrative Therapy: Examines how the stories we tell about our relationships impact our experiences and helps couples create new, more positive narratives.
• Solution-Focused Therapy: Concentrates on solutions rather than problems, utilizing the strengths and resources already present in your relationship.
