Couples Therapy - Counseling Services in Austin, Texas

Couples Counseling

Help for couples navigating recurring conflicts, communication challenges, infidelity, separation and more. Our therapists use approaches like Relational Life Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Family Therapy

Our counselors support families facing common challenges such as separation or divorce, changing roles with age, disconnection, boundary issues, and more. 

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a gentle, evidence-based trauma therapy that helps the brain process and resolve distressing memories, emotions, and experiences. Using guided eye movements and imagery, ART can reduce the emotional intensity of past events and support faster relief from trauma, anxiety, and other distressing symptoms—often in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy.
