Break the Same Cycles

Understand what’s underneath the patterns and create real change together.

Are you exhausted from trying and not seeing change?

You might benefit from couples counseling if you are:
 

  • Struggling to communicate without arguments or shutting down
     

  • Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected from each other
     

  • Repeating the same conflicts without resolution
     

  • Trying to rebuild trust after betrayal, secrecy, or hurt
     

  • Walking on eggshells or avoiding difficult conversations
     

  • Feeling more like roommates than partners
     

  • Wanting to feel close again but unsure how to get there
     

You do not need to be at a breaking point to come to therapy. Many couples begin counseling simply because something feels off in their relationship, and they want support finding their way back to each other.

Do you feel like something just feels off between you, even if you can’t fully explain it?

Tension / Walking on eggshells / Misunderstandings / Feeling on edge around each other

Emotional distance / Disconnection / Loneliness in the relationship / Going through the motions

Avoiding conversations / Repeating the same arguments / Shutting down / Becoming defensive

That discomfort is not a sign that your relationship is failing.  It often points to unmet needs, missed moments of connection, and unresolved hurt.

How Couples Counseling Works at Purpose Counseling

Couples counseling here is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It is about creating a steady, supportive space where your relationship can be understood, healed, and strengthened. Sessions are paced intentionally, guided by your needs and comfort level. 

Depending on your goals, couples counseling may include:
 

  • Understanding the patterns that trigger conflict or disconnection
     

  • Learning how to repair after arguments and rebuild trust
     

  • Strengthening emotional connection through bids for attention and responsiveness
     

  • Improving communication without defensiveness or criticism
     

  • Exploring underlying emotions that affect reactions and intimacy
     

  • Reconnecting around shared values, goals, and partnership
     

  • Using faith as a source of forgiveness, grace, and renewal (if desired)
     

  • You are always in control of the pace. Nothing is pushed before you are ready, and every step is focused on helping your relationship feel safer, closer, and more resilient.

This is a space to share honestly, heal old hurts, and strengthen your bond.

Why Work With Us

We believe marriage and long-term partnerships are worth fighting for. But we also know that healthy relationships require both people to feel safe, respected, and emotionally connected.

  • Evidence-based approaches that work: We use the Gottman Method and EFT, two of the most researched and effective models for relationship repair and growth.
     

  • Faith-based integration when desired: For couples who share Christian values, we offer space to bring God into the healing process.
     

  • A supportive, non-judgmental space: We meet you right where you are—whether you’re trying to heal after a betrayal, communicate better, or decide what’s next for your marriage.
     

Our goal is to help you not just avoid conflict, but build connection.
