Strengthen Your Relationship with Expert Couples Therapists on Chicago’s North Side
Need a Couples Therapist to Help With Your Relationship?
Are you looking for couples counseling in Chicago because you’re concerned about your relationship? Worried that your marriage may not make it over the long term? Are you tired of the arguing, bickering, or worse—the silent treatment?
Perhaps you’re struggling in your marriage or long-term relationship. Maybe you’ve reached a place of being sick and tired of the same old arguments that repeat themselves over and over again. The anger, resentment, and dissatisfaction may have you thinking to yourself: “Is this really worth it?”
Try as you might, attempts to fix your relationship problems just don’t seem to be working. The criticism, blaming, and apathy have reached a point where both of you are completely over it. And while there still may be love between you, it just doesn’t seem like it will be enough to make positive change.
As Chicago couples counselors and marriage therapists serving Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Boystown, Uptown, and all of Chicago’s North Side, we’re committed to helping couples in conflict find productive ways to move past the hurts, heal the wounds, and strengthen important relational bonds.
If you’re experiencing communications problems, little or no real dialogue, feeling like roommates, or dealing with intimacy issues—it’s important to realize that change is possible.
Our Couples & Marriage Counseling Services
Specialized therapy for all types of relationships in Chicago

Marriage CounselingMarriage takes work, and sometimes you need professional support to get back on track. Our solution-focused marriage counseling helps you strengthen your bond, improve communication patterns, and rebuild trust after difficult times. We help married couples work through conflict constructively, rediscover joy in their relationship, and create lasting positive change. Whether you’re facing a major crisis or just feeling disconnected, we’re here to help you reconnect. |
Premarital CounselingStart your marriage on the strongest possible foundation. Our premarital counseling gives you essential tools for a successful marriage before you say “I do.” We help engaged couples learn conflict resolution skills, discuss important topics like finances and family planning, understand each other’s communication styles, and build a roadmap for navigating life’s challenges together. Investing in premarital counseling now prevents problems later. |
LGBTQ+ Couples TherapyOur affirming, specialized counseling honors and celebrates LGBTQ+ relationships. We understand the unique challenges facing gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer couples—from navigating societal pressures to managing family dynamics. Our therapists provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can be your authentic selves while working through relationship issues. We’re proud to offer culturally competent care that respects your identity and lived experience. |
Infidelity CounselingRecovering from an affair is one of the most painful experiences a couple can face. Our compassionate infidelity counseling helps couples process betrayal, rebuild trust, and determine whether reconciliation is possible. We guide both partners through the healing process with evidence-based techniques designed to address the trauma of infidelity. Many couples emerge stronger after working through this crisis—we’ll help you decide if that’s possible for your relationship. |
Intimacy & Sexual HealthPhysical and emotional intimacy are vital to relationship satisfaction. Our intimacy counseling addresses concerns like mismatched desires, physical connection challenges, emotional barriers to closeness, and communication around sexual needs. We provide a safe, professional setting where you can discuss sensitive topics openly. Whether you’re experiencing a temporary rough patch or long-term intimacy issues, we help restore closeness and passion in your relationship. |
Divorce Counseling (Discernment Counseling)Not sure if you should stay together or separate? Discernment counseling helps couples who are considering divorce gain clarity about their relationship’s future. This is not traditional couples therapy—instead, we help you explore whether your marriage can be saved, understand each partner’s perspective, and make a confident decision about your path forward. Whether you ultimately stay together or separate, you’ll move forward with clarity and peace of mind. |
Online Couples TherapyGet the same high-quality couples counseling from the comfort of your own home. Our secure online therapy platform makes it easy for busy Chicago couples to access professional help without commuting or scheduling conflicts. Virtual sessions are just as effective as in-person therapy and offer greater flexibility—perfect for couples with demanding schedules, childcare challenges, or those who simply prefer meeting from home. All you need is a private space and an internet connection. |
Couples Therapy for OneYour partner refuses therapy? You can still work on your relationship. Individual sessions focused on creating positive change in your marriage or partnership. Sometimes the best way to improve your relationship is to work on yourself first. Our individual relationship counseling helps you understand your patterns, heal from past wounds, develop healthier communication skills, and become a better partner. Many clients find this kind of therapy extremely helpful and a major form of self-care. |

Thank you Couples Counseling Chicago!” |
