Strengthen Your Relationship with Couples Counseling
with King Family Therapy
Are you stuck in a pattern of challenging communication?
Feeling distant from your partner?
Planning a future together and needing direction or support?
Or dealing with infidelity and wondering if your relationship can last?​
Conflict is normal in every relationship, so don't be discouraged if you need support. In therapy, we can help you improve communication, resolve conflicts, and nurture the love in your relationship.
Our Approach to Couples Counseling
Our approach combines elements from multiple methods to fit your unique needs, goals, and relationship stage. Among our preferred methodologies is the Gottman Method, a well-researched framework that helps couples understand what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and how to make real, lasting changes. We focus on everyday issues like communication, conflict, trust, and emotional connection and break them down in a clear, practical way. Sessions are a team effort so both of you get equal time and attention. You’ll learn practical tools you can actually use at home, not just ideas to think about later. The goal is a relationship that feels steadier, more supportive, and easier to be in day to day.
Improve Your Relationship & Rediscover Your Love​​
Seeking help through couples counseling is a courageous and proactive step toward revitalizing your connection. Whether you're facing communication issues, navigating complex conflicts, or simply looking to improve your connection, we are here to help you and your partner get through tough times and rekindle the love, trust, and intimacy that may have faded over time.​​
​​Change is Possible​​
Even if you've found yourself repeating unhealthy patterns, having the same fight over and over again, or feeling frustrated that you just can't communicate, this doesn't have to last forever. Therapy can give you a place to reconnect with each other, work towards better understanding, and find solutions in order to enjoy a happier, healthier relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Gottman Method?
Based on decades of research, the Gottman Method is an approach developed by Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Gottman. It focuses on strengthening friendship, improving communication, managing conflict, and building trust. It’s very practical and skills-based, with tools couples can use right away.​​
Do we have to be married to attend couples therapy?
No. Couples therapy is for any two people in a committed relationship, including dating, engaged, married, living together, or long-term partners.
Is couples therapy only for relationships in crisis?
Not at all. Many couples come to therapy to strengthen their connection, improve communication, or prevent small issues from becoming bigger problems.
Will we be seen together or separately?
Most sessions are held together, but your therapist may occasionally meet individually with each partner if clinically appropriate. Often times, this means meeting together as a couple, then having one individual session with each partner before continuing to meet as a couple.
Will my therapist take sides?
No. Your therapist will work to remain neutral and support the relationship as a whole, while ensuring both of you feel heard and respected.
How long does couples therapy usually last?
The length varies depending on your goals and situation. Some couples attend for a few months, while others choose longer-term support.
