West Houston Counseling center offers several options for couples seeking help in their relationships.  Services are available for couples from many different cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations to help them communicate more effectively and find joy in their relationship again or simply to stop problems before they start.  Some types of couples therapy include: 

• Couples Counseling / Marriage Counseling: Helping couples recovery from infidelity, improve communication, and restore connection.  Marriage counseling and couples counseling typically revolve around restoring long-term relationships and may require a long term commitment to repair wounds and restore the intimacy.  Many of our therapists have been trained in Gottman Marriage therapy.
• Relationship Counseling: Helping people improve communication, resolve anger, establish boundaries and understand distance in family, work and peer relationships.  Relationship counseling is not limited to marriage counseling or couples counseling.  Business partners, family members, and students often benefit from relationship counseling.
• Pre-marital Counseling: Helping couples to have a marriage just as beautiful as their wedding - understanding connection, intimacy, communication and partnership to build a marriage that lasts.
