Couples Therapy
Support for couples navigating relational challenges — healing, communication, connection, and growth together.
Relationships are complex, and when trust, communication, intimacy or conflict take a toll, it can feel overwhelming to navigate alone. Couples therapy at Francis Psychotherapy provides a dedicated, neutral space for partners to explore difficulties together, unpack emotional wounds, and build healthier ways of relating. With a relational, trauma-informed, and culturally aware approach, therapists guide you through improved empathy, honest communication, conflict resolution, rebuilding intimacy, and navigating transitions — whether parenting, separation, grief, adoption, fertility, or life-stage changes. By working collaboratively, couples can rediscover mutual respect, deepen connection, and build a foundation for long-term relationship health.
What to Expect.
Therapy focused on relationship issues: communication breakdowns, intimacy struggles, conflict resolution, separation or divorce, parenting challenges, attachment or bonding issues. The practice lists “Couples’ Issues,” “Separation & Divorce,” “Parenting,” and relational trauma among their offerings.
Therapeutic modalities that support relational healing: therapists on staff have expertise in relational therapy, e.g. one describes using approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) among other relational modalities.
Safe, neutral, third-party space to unpack emotional issues, manage conflict, heal past hurts, improve communication, and work toward mutual growth — with professionalism and empathy.
Sessions offered for couples (and also families, where relevant), with flexibility depending on needs and therapist specialization.
Option to include issues like pre/post-pregnancy stress, fertility / adoption, grief, chronic illness, caregiving stress, all of which relational therapy staff are equipped to handle (per therapist bios).
