COUPLES THERAPY

Are you struggling in your relationship, or looking to strengthen it with support, insight, and connection?

Every relationship faces challenges. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, struggling with communication, or healing from a breach of trust, couples therapy provides a safe, structured space to understand your patterns, reconnect, and grow together. At PBA Psychology Group, our therapists offer warm, inclusive, scientifically-informed care tailored to the unique needs of each couple.

Our Approach to Couples Therapy

We use research-supported methods to help couples communicate more effectively, understand emotional needs, and build healthier connection patterns.

Psychodynamic Couples Therapy

Our clinicians frequently begin with a psychodynamic approach, which helps couples:

  • Understand underlying emotional and relational patterns

  • Explore how past experiences shape current dynamics

  • Identify unmet needs driving conflict or withdrawal

  • Develop deeper empathy and insight into each partner’s inner world

This approach creates the foundation for lasting change by revealing the emotional roots of relationship struggles

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Reduces negative interaction cycles

  • Supports deeper emotional understanding

  • Builds secure, lasting emotional bonds

Gottman-Informed Therapy

  • Strengthens friendship and positive connection

  • Teaches practical communication and conflict-repair tools

  • Helps reduce criticism, defensiveness, and withdrawal

Integrative & Cognitive-Behavioral Strategies

  • Clarify beliefs and emotional triggers

  • Build problem-solving and communication skills

  • Practice new, healthier interaction patterns

Sex Therapy–Informed Support

  • Navigate desire differences

  • Address intimacy blocks

  • Rebuild comfort, connection, and healthy sexuality

Therapy typically includes joint sessions, occasional individual meetings for clarity, and guided exercises to practice new skills between sessions.
