Couples Counseling
Couples Counseling in Dallas
For two people who keep having the same conversation and getting nowhere.
Who This Is For
Some of what we hear
- You love each other and you are still stuck in the same argument.
- One of you has stopped bringing things up because it never goes well.
- Work, children and logistics have taken up all the room.
- You are not talking about divorce. You simply know it could be better.
The Work
How this goes
We name the pattern
Most couples are not fighting about the dishes. In the first sessions we find the loop the two of you fall into and describe it plainly, so it stops feeling like a character flaw and starts looking like something you can change.
We build practical skills
Gottman informed and cognitive behavioral tools that work in a real kitchen on a real Tuesday: how to raise a hard subject, how to hear it without going on defense, how to repair quickly after things go sideways.
We keep a direction
Every few sessions we step back and check what has changed and what still needs work. You should always be able to say what you are working on and why.
Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly to start, in our Cole Avenue office or online anywhere in Texas.
