Services for Couples

A happy couple is outdoors, sharing a laugh, with the man kissing the woman's forehead. They are dressed casually, and the background is a natural landscape with soft sunlight.

Couples therapy is typically provided by a licensed mental health professional and is designed to help partners navigate emotional issues, past trauma, communication breakdowns, or mental health challenges affecting the relationship. It often involves exploring deeper patterns and healing relational wounds.

Couple’s Therapy

A couple on a romantic outdoor date, sitting on the ground surrounded by dry plants, leaning in close and holding hands, with a blurred background of an open field.

Relationship coaching, on the other hand, is more future-focused and goal-oriented. Coaches help couples build skills, set relationship goals, and enhance connection, without necessarily addressing clinical issues or emotional trauma. Coaching is typically more structured and action-based.
