Couples Counseling

​

Navigating a relationship can be challenging, even with deep love for your partner. Conflicts are a natural part of any relationship as you and your partner bring different needs, values, habits, and desires. Whether you're experiencing frequent arguments, escalating anger, unresolved issues, drifting apart, infidelity, major life changes (such as moving, starting a new job, becoming parents, or transitioning to an empty nest), or pre-marital concerns, we are here for you.

​

Repetitive arguments or disagreements can lead to power struggles, which can create anger and resentment. Over time, isolation and emptiness can creep in and negative emotions begin to override positive sentiments and emotions in the relationship. Many couples delay seeking help until their relationship is in crisis. To avoid this, we encourage you to reach out for support as soon as you notice concerns about your relationship satisfaction. If you’ve found us, it’s likely your relationship is a priority. We offer a free Negative Sentiment Override Quiz, based on the Gottman Method for couples therapy, to help assess your relationship concerns and needs. Taking this quiz is a proactive step toward addressing relationship triggers and finding a path to repair and recovery.

Pre-marital Counseling

  

Starting a new level of commitment can bring excitement but also stress and anxiety into your relationship. Our pre-marital counseling services help couples address potential issues before they arise, ensuring a strong foundation for your future together. Our experienced therapists in both Nebraska and Kansas are skilled at guiding couples through effective communication and identifying potential challenges, setting a positive precedent for your relationship.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
