Couples & Relationship Counseling.
For the same old fight, the quiet distance, or the big question — stay or go, how to trust again, how to feel close. A neutral room where both of you are heard.
What it is
Two people, one team again.
With Daniel Kim, LMFT and team, sessions slow your cycle down: what triggers it, what each of you feels underneath, and what to do instead. We use Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy tools — practical, research-backed, and jargon-free.
Premarital couples build a strong start; long-term couples repair trust after hurt; separated or discerning couples get clarity without pressure.
What’s included
- · 60–75 minute joint sessions, plus brief individual check-ins
- · Communication & repair toolkit for home
- · Trust-rebuilding plans after infidelity or hurt
- · Premarital assessment & shared-values work
Good fit if you…
- · Have the same fight on repeat
- · Feel more like roommates than partners
- · Want a stronger start before marriage
The process
From gridlock to closeness.
Step 1
Map the cycle
Name your pattern — pursue, withdraw, explode, shut down — without blame.
Step 2
Soften
Share the softer feelings underneath anger: fear, loneliness, longing.
Step 3
Repair
Apologies that land, amends that last, and rituals of reconnection.
Step 4
Protect
Weekly check-ins and conflict rules so old cycles stay retired.
What changes.
- · Fights get shorter and kinder
- · Needs get named before they boil over
- · Affection and teamwork return
- · Big decisions feel shared, not scary
Sessions $160 joint (75 min) · $120 individual · In person & online · LGBTQ+ affirming.
Start With a Free CallQuestions, answered.
Should we come together or separately?
Start together. Brief individual check-ins help us understand each perspective, then the real work happens side by side.
Can counseling help after infidelity?
Often, yes — when both partners want repair. We move slowly through honesty, accountability, and new agreements at a pace that protects everyone.
What if my partner won’t come?
Come alone. One person shifting the pattern often shifts the relationship — and we will coach you on inviting them later.
