    Discover Harmony With Your Partner Through Our Couples Counseling in San Jose, CA

    Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill? Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop every night? Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting away? Do you desire more intimacy with your partner? 

    All things can be improved with a little support, and that’s where Therapy By Choice comes in. We offer specialized couples counseling to help residents of San Jose, California, navigate major life transitions and resolve relationship crises. Since our establishment in 2019, we have been committed to helping couples find harmony and strength in their relationships. Our team is especially passionate about supporting couples who face challenges such as emotional or physical affairs, starting a family, getting married, divorcing, parenting, personal addiction, and balancing work and home life. 

    What to Expect in Couples Counseling 

    Therapy is usually tailored to the individual, but some things remain standard. With couples therapy, you can expect to learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, better understand your partner, and in the end, get what you want out of your relationship. Some issues that may bring someone to a couples counselor are: 

    • Addiction/Partner Addiction Support 
    • Balance (Work/Life/Family) 
    • Blended Families 
    • Chronic Illness 
    • Divorce 
    • Extended Family 
    • Infidelity/Cheating 
    • Intimacy 
    • Mental Illness 
    • Pre-Marital/Readiness 
    • Pornography 
    • Sex 

    In couples therapy sessions at Therapy By Choice, we strive to help people develop the necessary skills to maintain sustaining love. Our approach is what the Gottman method calls marathon therapy, where it’s 6 hours per day for two days within two weeks (for example, we might meet for two Saturdays in a row for 6 hours per day). We offer a welcoming and comfortable office environment that our clients find refreshing, and we have ample availability to ensure that support can be made to fit your busy schedule.
