A stronger relationship starts here.

Most couples reach a point where things feel harder than they used to. Maybe you keep having the same argument that never gets resolved. Maybe the connection between you feels distant. Or maybe you're navigating something big—like infidelity, a loss of trust, parenting struggles, or questions about staying together.

Whatever has brought you here, know this: your relationship is not beyond repair.

At Integrative Couples Therapy, we help couples slow down, tune in, and work through what’s getting in the way of closeness. We create a supportive, respectful space where you and your partner can learn to communicate in new ways, heal past hurts, and rebuild a secure and lasting bond.

Our Approach

We are a team of couples specialists with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Some of our therapists have training in Relational Life Therapy, Prepare/Enrich and Discernment Counseling. These approaches allow us to address both the emotional and practical dimensions of your relationship. We support couples in exploring their attachment needs, improving how they relate to each other during moments of conflict, and strengthening the foundation of their partnership.

We work with couples across a wide range of concerns—including emotional connection, sexual intimacy, parenting and family dynamics, communication challenges, the impact of mental health or trauma, and healing from infidelity or betrayal. Whether you are hoping to reconnect, repair, or reimagine your relationship, we tailor the process to fit your goals.

What to Expect from Couples Therapy

We believe that therapy works best when it feels safe, focused, and collaborative. Our therapists are not here to judge. We are here to guide you both through meaningful conversations that get to the heart of what’s going on.

You’ll have space to:

• Understand the patterns that keep you stuck

• Express your needs and emotions in a way your partner can hear

• Break cycles of conflict, withdrawal, or shutdown

• Repair trust and rebuild emotional and physical connection

• Learn how to show up for each other with more empathy, clarity, and care

We tailor the therapy process to meet your relationship’s unique needs. Whether you are dating, married, in a long-term partnership, or navigating something more complex like blending families or recovering from betrayal—we will meet you where you are.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes and available both in person at our Encinitas office or virtually throughout California. Some couples come weekly, others choose longer sessions or intensives. We will work together to find a rhythm that supports your goals.

Who We Work With

Couples therapy might be a good fit if:

• You’re struggling to communicate or resolve conflicts

• One or both of you feels alone, misunderstood, or overwhelmed

• Trust has been broken and you want to repair it

• You’re navigating a life change—like parenthood, moving, illness, or loss

• Intimacy or connection has faded and you want to reconnect

• You are deciding whether to stay together or separate

• You simply want to grow closer and strengthen your foundation

We welcome all types of couples and partnerships. Our therapists are LGBTQ+ affirming and experienced in working with clients from a wide range of cultural, relational, and family backgrounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my partner is hesitant to come?
It’s common for one partner to feel unsure about therapy. We understand this and will meet you both with care. Often, once the first session happens and your partner sees that this is not about blame—but about building something better—things begin to shift. Or, we encourage you to attend individual therapy.

How long will we need therapy?
Some couples come for a few months to work through a specific issue. Others stay longer to address deeper patterns or rebuild trust after a rupture. We’ll check in regularly to make sure you’re getting what you need and moving toward your goals.

Will you tell us who’s right or wrong?
Our role is to support the relationship. We help you each explore your experience, take ownership where needed, and build new ways of relating that feel better for both of you.
