Couples Therapy

What Is Couples Therapy?

Couples Therapy is when we work with relationships, not just a person or a trauma. Relationships are a crucial part of our lives, yet they can be very challenging at times. So naturally, sometimes we need guidance on how to communicate better. At Lighthouse Trauma Therapy, we provide practical support for a variety of relationships—whether you’re a premarital couple, friends, family members, or simply looking to strengthen your connection.

Even when you are ready to start couples therapy, having a therapist to look into your relationship can be intimidating, or uncomfortable. Is the therapist going to understand me? Am I going to be told I’m the problem? Let me tell you what we do in the therapy room.

Our counseling approach is straightforward and effective. Rather than merely addressing behaviors, we focus on reshaping the core dynamics and patterns of your relationship. Our therapists are specifically trained to identify these patterns and create an open, genuine space that encourages vulnerability. We help you identify patterns that no longer serve your relationship and replace them with dynamics that can strengthen it.

In our therapy sessions, you’ll find that your therapist’s role is to empower the relationship, not to act as a “judge.” Our goal is to support you in fortifying your relationship, ensuring it remains a source of lasting fulfillment and happiness. We provide an environment and insights that enhance your connection and deepen your mutual understanding. As trauma specialists, we are uniquely equipped to guide you through the process of healing trauma as a couple. We are dedicated to helping you rewrite your relationship’s narrative and reignite the bond that brought you together in the first place.
