“We were leery of couples therapy because we were unsure if it really would work. After reading your post offering pointers on what to expect in couples therapy, we decided to make an appointment. Our couples therapist made us feel at ease right away. In just a few short sessions, we were able to work through a lot of the baggage that was blocking our ability to communicate. Thank you Couples Counseling Chicago!”

“After years of the same arguments, we didn’t think anything could change. Our therapist helped us see patterns we’d been stuck in and gave us real tools to communicate differently. Three months later, we’re closer than we’ve been in years. The investment in couples therapy saved our marriage.”

“As a same-sex couple, finding an affirming therapist was so important to us. From day one, we felt completely accepted and understood. Our counselor helped us navigate family issues and communication problems with insight and compassion. We can’t recommend Couples Counseling Chicago highly enough.”
