Couples Therapy
Are You Feeling Disconnected or Struggling in Your Relationship?
Relationships can be both beautiful and challenging. If you're navigating issues like infidelity, communication breakdowns, or attachment struggles, you’re not alone. Many couples face these hurdles, and seeking help is a courageous step toward healing and growth. At Authentic Connections Counseling & Wellness, we understand that every relationship has its ups and downs, and we're here to support you through the complexities of love and partnership.
Have you been feeling distant from your partner lately?
Is communication between you and your partner filled with misunderstandings?
Do you wonder if trust can be rebuilt after a betrayal?
With the help of couples counseling, you can learn how to reconnect as a couple and feel close again.
Most Couples Face Bumps in the Road
It’s entirely normal for couples to experience conflicts or feel disconnected at times. Life’s stresses, evolving priorities, and personal challenges can create distance and strain your bond. Whether it’s lingering resentment from past arguments, misunderstandings stemming from miscommunication, or the impact of past traumas, these issues can become significant barriers to intimacy and connection.
Many couples struggle with trust, especially after experiencing infidelity. It can leave one or both partners wondering if the relationship can recover and whether it’s possible to rebuild that trust. Additionally, communication breakdowns may lead you to feel unheard, misunderstood, or frustrated, which only compounds feelings of isolation and disconnection. Complicating these dynamics are attachment styles, which influence how we relate to one another. Understanding these patterns is essential, as they can create cycles that feel difficult to break.
The good news is that you are not alone in facing these challenges. Many couples experience similar issues, and studies show that relationship conflicts are a common part of long-term partnerships. Research indicates that with the right support and guidance, it is entirely possible to address these challenges and emerge stronger (1).
With the help of compassionate and experienced couples therapy, you can get back to feeling fulfilled and satisfied in your relationship.
Reconnect and Heal Through Couples Counseling
At Authentic Connections Counseling & Wellness, we believe in the transformative power of couples therapy. Marilee Sonnen, our experienced couples therapist and Kasandra Wilson, offer a safe and supportive space for both partners to express their feelings, work through conflicts, and develop healthier communication patterns. Marilee & Kasandra specialize in helping couples work through a variety of issues, including:
Infidelity: Rebuilding trust and healing after a betrayal
Communication challenges: Learning to listen and speak in ways that foster understanding
Attachment issues: Understanding and managing how attachment styles impact your relationship
We employ evidence-based techniques such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method to help you and your partner identify the root causes of your challenges and learn effective strategies to address them. Therapy with Marilee and Kasandra are a collaborative process, allowing both partners the opportunity to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a non-judgmental environment.
In addition to traditional talk therapy, we incorporate holistic practices that enhance your healing journey. Techniques such as mindfulness, somatic therapy, and guided communication exercises allow you to reconnect on a deeper level. By addressing both emotional and physical aspects of your relationship, we help you build a stronger, more resilient partnership.
Common Concerns About Couples Therapy
"Is it too late for therapy to help us?"
It’s never too late to work on your relationship. Many couples come to therapy feeling disconnected or uncertain, but through compassionate guidance, they often find new ways to reconnect and rebuild trust. Therapy can help you rediscover what brought you together in the first place, even if it feels distant right now.
"What if talking about our problems makes things worse?"
We understand that discussing sensitive issues can feel overwhelming. Marilee creates a safe, non-judgmental environment where both partners can express themselves openly, helping you feel supported as you navigate difficult conversations. Therapy is designed to foster understanding and empathy, not increase conflict. Learning to communicate openly can pave the way for deeper intimacy and connection.
"Does therapy only work for couples in crisis?"
Couples therapy isn’t just for those in crisis. It’s a valuable tool for any couple looking to strengthen their bond, deepen their connection, and grow together. By engaging in therapy, you’re making a commitment to each other and to the long-term health of your partnership. Whether you are facing significant challenges or simply seeking to enhance your relationship, therapy can provide tools for growth and enrichment.
