Chicago Couples Counseling

get your relationship on track

You can love each other, and struggle to get along.

Relationships are hard. They can be complicated as people try and figure out  intimacy, sex, and conflict. Growing up in different homes, with different families, and different rules can lead to unspoken assumptions that sabotage happiness. Luckily, there are very effective ways to help couples reconnect and find their way to a better future.

Relationship counseling is a collaborative process, where we use a combination of testing, skills training, and talk therapy to help you learn more about your partner, how to fight fair, and how to increase intimacy. The skills we teach are pragmatic and research based, and will help.
