Our Services
Marriage & Couples Counseling
Every relationship goes through seasons of difficulty. Miscommunication, unresolved conflict, shifting priorities, or a significant breach of trust can create distance between partners that feels impossible to bridge on your own. Marriage and couples counseling provides a safe, guided space for both partners to be heard, understood, and supported as you work toward a relationship that is stronger, more connected, and more intentional.
At Reformation Counseling Center, we work with couples at every stage — whether you’re preparing for marriage, working through a rough patch, recovering from betrayal, or seeking to deepen the connection you already have. Our counselors provide a neutral, non-judgmental environment where both partners can express themselves openly and develop the tools for a more fulfilling partnership.
Couples counseling is not only for relationships in trouble. Many couples seek counseling proactively to improve communication and deepen their connection.

Who Couples Counseling Is For
How we can help
Our Approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Couples
Identifies and addresses the thought patterns and assumptions each partner brings to the relationship that may be fueling conflict or disconnection.
Narrative Therapy
Helps couples examine the stories they’ve constructed about each other and the relationship, opening space for new, more constructive narratives that honor both partners.
Existential Therapy
Explores deeper questions around the meaning of the relationship, shared purpose, and individual identity within the partnership.
Motivational Interviewing
Supports partners in clarifying what they genuinely want from the relationship and finding the motivation to take steps toward change.
The Process
What to Expect
Initial Session
The first session is an opportunity for both partners to share their perspective on the relationship. Your counselor will listen without taking sides, identify key areas of concern, and begin to understand the patterns that may be contributing to the challenges you’re facing.
Working Together
Sessions are typically 50 to 60 minutes and are held weekly or biweekly. The counselor serves as a guide and facilitator, helping you practice new communication skills, work through specific conflicts, and develop a shared understanding of each other’s needs.
Pre-Marital Counseling
For couples preparing for marriage, pre-marital counseling provides a structured opportunity to discuss expectations, values, communication styles, conflict resolution, finances, and other areas that are important to a healthy marriage.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my partner is resistant to couples counseling?
It’s common for one partner to be more willing than the other. Sometimes scheduling the initial consultation call together can help ease concerns. If your partner isn’t ready, individual counseling can also help you develop communication tools and gain clarity about the relationship.
Does couples counseling mean our relationship is failing?
Not at all. Seeking counseling is a sign of commitment to the relationship. Many couples come to counseling to strengthen an already good partnership, not just to fix problems.
Can you help us decide whether to stay together or separate?
Our role is not to make that decision for you, but to help both partners gain the clarity they need to make a thoughtful, informed choice. Whether you decide to rebuild the relationship or part ways, we can support you through the process.
How long does couples counseling typically last?
This varies depending on the complexity of the issues. Some couples make significant progress in 8 to 12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work. Your counselor will regularly reassess your progress and goals.
Do you work with unmarried couples or same-sex couples?
Yes. Our counseling services are available to all couples, regardless of marital status or the nature of the relationship.
