FAQs

We've tried couple's counseling in the past and nothing seemed to help, how is Marriage Connection different?

We understand how discouraging it can feel when previous therapy didn’t bring the change you were hoping for. What makes us different is our personalized, relational approach. We focus not just on addressing surface-level issues but on helping you and your partner explore the deeper patterns that drive your interactions.

Our work is rooted in evidence-based methods tailored to your unique relationship, ensuring you feel seen and supported as individuals and as a couple. We also create a safe, non-judgmental space where both partners can reconnect emotionally and work towards lasting change. This is a collaborative process, and we’ll walk with you every step of the way, helping you rebuild trust, communication, and intimacy in a way that feels authentic and sustainable for both of you.

Does the therapist take sides?

We understand that every individual brings a unique perspective to their relationship, and we approach each couple with empathy, respect, and without judgment. Our role is not to take sides but to help both partners feel heard and understood. We work to uncover the patterns and dynamics between you, shining a light on both perspectives so you can gain deeper insight into each other’s experiences. Our goal is to foster mutual understanding and create a safe space where both of you can work together toward meaningful growth and connection. 

What if I want to go to couple's counseling but my partner does not?

It can be hard when you want to work on your relationship, but your partner isn’t ready to join you. The good news is that meaningful change often begins within. When you focus on your own growth, it naturally creates shifts in the relationship. Through individual work, you can gain clarity, develop healthier patterns, and respond differently to challenges, which often encourages positive changes in your partner as well.

Even if you start the process alone, your efforts can foster deeper connection and open the door for future growth together. We’re here to support you every step of the way, helping you make meaningful changes that nurture both your well-being and the potential for your relationship to thrive.

How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?

Because each person has different issues and goals for counseling, it will be different depending on the individual. I tailor my therapeutic approach to your specific needs.

How long will it take?

Unfortunately, this is not possible to say in a general FAQs page. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time counseling can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek counseling in the first place.
