Communication breakdown
Talking past each other, shutting down, or turning small disagreements into bigger conflicts.
COUPLES THERAPY in West Los Angeles
Find your way back to each other.
Couples therapy for adults, in-person in West LA and online across California.
We help couples reconnect, communicate, and rebuild trust, using research-backed approaches.
You might be...
- Having the same arguments on repeat, with no resolution
- Feeling more like roommates than partners
- Struggling to rebuild trust after a breach or betrayal
- Walking on eggshells to avoid the next blowup
- Drifting apart emotionally or physically
- Wondering if you can find your way back to each other
Most couples don't need to start over. They need a way back to the version of them that worked.
Forms of couples therapy we help with.
Trust and infidelity
Rebuilding trust and working through the impact of betrayal, whether recent or in the past.
Conflict and arguing
Breaking cycles of recurring arguments and learning to fight in ways that bring you closer, not further apart.
Emotional disconnection
Feeling distant, like roommates, or unsure how to find your way back to each other.
Life transitions
Navigating major changes together, like a new baby, a move, a career shift, or blending families.
Premarital and commitment readiness
Building a strong foundation before marriage or a major commitment, and making sure you're aligned on what matters most.
How we help
Get out of the loop.
Less about who's right, more about why you keep landing here, and what changes it.
01
Understand the pattern
We help you see the cycle you're stuck in, the same argument, the same shutdown, and what's underneath it.
02
Rebuild communication
Using the Gottman Method, we build real listening skills, slow conflict down, and help you hear each other again.
03
Repair after conflict
Learn to repair after an argument so you reconnect quickly instead of staying distant for days.
04
Reconnect as partners
Rebuild the friendship, trust, and closeness that brought you together in the first place.

Questions about couples therapy.
What happens in couples therapy?
In couples therapy, we look at your communication patterns, recurring conflicts, and relationship history. Sessions focus on helping both partners feel heard and understood, while building tools to navigate conflict and rebuild connection.
Do you use the Gottman Method?
Yes. The Gottman Method is central to our approach to couples therapy. It's a research-backed framework for strengthening friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning in a relationship.
Do we need to be married to start couples therapy?
No. We work with couples at every stage, including dating, engaged, premarital, married, and long-term partners navigating challenges together.
What if only one of us wants to come to therapy?
It's common for one partner to feel more hesitant at first. We're happy to start with an individual consultation to talk through concerns before beginning couples sessions together.
How long does couples therapy take?
It depends on what you're working through. Some couples notice shifts within a few months of consistent sessions, while deeper trust repair or long-standing patterns may take longer.
Do you offer in-person and online couples therapy?
Yes. We offer in-person couples sessions in West LA and virtual therapy for couples throughout California.
