Marriage Counseling

"Is your marriage feeling distant, tense, or stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break?"

relationships, couples counseling

Even strong relationships can reach points of disconnection. Life stress, miscommunication, unmet needs, or past hurt can quietly erode the trust and emotional closeness you once shared. You may be wondering: Can we find our way back to each other?

 

At MF Therapy, PLLC, I offer marriage counseling for couples who want to heal, reconnect, and grow together. This is a space to slow down, understand one another more deeply, and rebuild the emotional foundation of your relationship.

When Marriage Feels Hard

  • Frequent arguments or conflict that never gets resolved

  • Emotional distance or a loss of intimacy

  • Feelings of loneliness, even when you're together

  • Challenges with trust, resentment, or past betrayals

  • Differences in parenting, money, or values

  • Struggles with communication, avoidance, or shutdowns

  • A sense of "roommate syndrome" or growing apart

 

Whether you’re newly married, decades in, or somewhere in between, it’s okay to ask for help. You don’t need to figure it out alone.

What Is Marriage Counseling?

Marriage counseling is a collaborative process that helps couples understand their patterns, express emotions safely, and create a more secure, connected partnership. At MF Therapy, our work is:

  • Emotionally Focused – We focus on the emotional needs beneath the surface issues, helping each partner feel seen and responded to.

  • Attachment-Informed – We explore how past experiences and early bonds shape your current relationship dynamics.

  • Collaborative & Non-Blaming – This is not about assigning fault, it’s about creating mutual understanding and choice.

  • Trauma-Informed – We hold space for how past wounds, betrayal, or unresolved pain may impact trust and connection today.

 

Marriage counseling isn’t just about solving problems, it’s about deepening emotional safety, rebuilding trust, and learning how to turn toward each other again.

What We Can Work On Together

  • Improving communication and active listening

  • Understanding and shifting reactive patterns

  • Rebuilding trust after conflict, betrayal, or infidelity

  • Addressing emotional and physical intimacy

  • Navigating life transitions (new parents, empty nest, retirement)

  • Exploring unmet needs and attachment injuries

  • Restoring empathy, respect, and emotional connection

Who Might Benefit?

  • Couples struggling with ongoing conflict or communication breakdown

  • Partners feeling emotionally distant or disconnected

  • Marriages impacted by infidelity, trust issues, or resentment

  • Relationships strained by parenting, finances, or life transitions

  • Long-term partnerships looking to rekindle closeness and deepen connection

  • Neurodivergent or LGBTQ+ couples seeking affirming, inclusive care

  • You don’t have to wait until things fall apart. Support now can help prevent future heartache.

Common Questions

Q: How is marriage counseling different from individual therapy?
A: In marriage counseling, the relationship itself is the client. We focus on how both partners contribute to and experience the dynamic—and how to create shared change.

 

Q: Will you take sides?
A: No. My role is to create a balanced, non-blaming space where both partners feel heard and understood. We work collaboratively to support the relationship.

 

Q: What if one of us is hesitant about therapy?
A: That’s common. We can talk about any concerns in our initial consultation and explore whether therapy feels like the right step for both of you.
