Reconnect and Strengthen Your Relationship with Couples Therapy

Relationships are a journey, and sometimes the road gets rocky. If you're feeling disconnected from your partner, struggling to communicate, or facing constant conflict, couples therapy can help. At Upstate Counseling, we provide a safe, supportive space for couples to work through challenges, improve communication, and rebuild a stronger connection.

Common Issues We Address:

  • Communication breakdowns

  • Frequent arguments and unresolved conflicts

  • Feeling disconnected or misunderstood

  • Differences in goals, values, or parenting styles

  • Financial stress and its impact on your relationship

  • Uncertainty about the future

Our Approach to Couples Counseling

All of our couples therapists have completed Level 1 training in the Gottman Method, a proven, research-based approach to improving relationships. This method helps couples develop skills to manage conflict, build trust, and create a deeper emotional connection. In addition to Gottman tools, our therapists bring their own unique styles and approaches, drawing from their graduate school training and prior experience to provide personalized support for each couple.

We understand that every relationship is different, which is why we tailor our approach to your specific needs. Whether you’re newly facing difficulties or have been struggling for a while, we’re here to help you navigate this challenging time.

  • We recommend having a different therapist for your individual therapy and couples counseling for a variety of reasons. Your partner coming in to occasional appointments with your individual therapist can be discussed, but for dedicated couples counseling you should have a separate, dedicated couples therapist.
