Couples & Relationship Therapy
You remember what connection used to feel like—and miss it.
You’re together, but it doesn’t feel the same.
Conversations turn into distance or misunderstanding. You keep trying to stay connected, to keep the peace, to “communicate better”, but it feels like you’re missing each other entirely.
You still care deeply, but something’s shifted. Maybe life’s stressors, betrayals, or old patterns have worn down the safety you once felt. You want to rebuild closeness, but you’re not sure where to start.
You’re not broken. You’re human, and these patterns are signals, not failures.
How Couples Therapy Can Help
At Rooted Therapy, we help couples move from reactive cycles into understanding, safety, and connection. Our work together goes beyond surface-level communication skills; it’s about learning what drives those patterns and creating new ways of reaching for each other.
Evidence-Based, Emotionally Grounded Approaches
-
The Gottman Method helps couples understand the patterns that lead to conflict and disconnection. It focuses on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and strengthening friendship and shared meaning within the relationship. Using Gottman’s practical tools, we’ll help you navigate conflict more effectively and reconnect with empathy and respect.
-
EFT helps couples uncover the deeper emotions and attachment needs that fuel conflict and distance. By identifying the vulnerable feelings underneath anger or withdrawal, you can begin to move toward each other with more compassion and security—rather than getting stuck in the same painful loops.
Inclusive & Affirming Relationship Therapy
We work with couples and relationship systems of all kinds: LGBTQIA+ partnerships, nonmonogamous or polyamorous relationships, and alternative relationship structures. What matters most is helping you understand the unique dynamics, attachment patterns, and needs that exist between you.
You don’t need to fit a traditional mold to deserve understanding and closeness.
