Couples Therapy

Relationships can be a powerful source of connection, growth, and support—but even strong partnerships can struggle with communication, disconnection, or repeated conflict. Couples therapy offers a structured, collaborative space to better understand one another, repair ruptures, and build a more secure emotional bond.

At Rise Psychology, couples therapy is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), and the Gottman Method.

These models help partners:

• Interrupt reactive conflict cycles (like blame–withdraw or pursue–distance)

• Express underlying emotions in a safe and supported way

• Strengthen emotional responsiveness, trust, and connection

• Work through relationship ruptures, attachment wounds, and unmet needs

• Clarify shared values and build a vision for the relationship’s future

Therapy can be helpful at any stage of a relationship—whether you're navigating a specific challenge, rebuilding trust, or simply wanting to feel more connected. All sessions are offered online to adults across Washington and Oregon, making it easier to show up consistently, even with busy schedules or life transitions.

Couples therapy at Rise Psychology is designed to help you move from reactivity to reconnection—supporting deeper understanding, emotional safety, and lasting change.
