Couples Therapy

Couples therapy differs from individual therapy in that the focus is on the communication, patterns, and relationship dynamics between partners. Our couples counseling in Austin provides a structured, supportive space to strengthen your connection and work through challenges together.

This is a one-on-two approach. Standard sessions are 50 minutes, with the first two possibly extending to 75 minutes for assessment and goal setting. The aim of Austin couples therapy is to improve communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional and physical intimacy, and help partners feel more connected.

Whether your relationship needs repair or you simply want to enhance a strong foundation, couples therapy can rebuild, restore, and enrich your marriage or partnership.

Common Reasons:

• Negative or Lack of Communication

• Conflict with Extended Family

• Lack of Attraction

• Incompatible Parenting Philosophies

• You know nothing of what your partner thinks or feels all day

Family Therapy

Family therapy is a one-on-three (or more) approach designed to help families improve communication, strengthen cohesion, and shift unhealthy interaction patterns. Our family therapy in Austin provides a structured 90-minute session format to support meaningful change for the entire family system.

Every family is a unique social unit with its own structure and communication style. When the family functions well, stress decreases for each member and overall mental health improves. Austin family counseling can help your household resolve conflicts, build healthier dynamics, and create a more supportive environment for everyone.

Common Reasons:

• Parental Conflict

• Parental Mental Health Challenges

• Enmeshment

• Child Behavioral Problems

• Sibling Conflict

• Substance Abuse

• Major Life Event/Change

• Loss of a Family Member of Pet

• Sexual Orientation Concerns

• Past Child Abuse
