A Fresh Take on Couples Therapy in Houston Texas

Couples-therapy-houston-tx

Raise your hand if when you see an old couple holding hands and looking SO in love you get the immediate reaction of I want to have that! Doesn’t it sound amazing to feel all the safety, connection, and love that a strong relationship can offer? We believe in those outcomes for any couple we work with, and also get that taking the step into asking for relationship help can be well... tricky. Sometimes one partner wants it and the other is hesitating because things feel a bit complicated. Sometimes it's hard to find a couples therapist that really gets you. And sometimes, we wait until things are "bad enough" to seek support.

Welcome to a judgment-free space with down-to-earth couples therapists who get it, and are ready to meet you exactly where you are. Communication, resolving conflicts, breaking cycles of arguing, and repairing trust are foundations that we can work through together, at the pace and comfort level you're ready for.

The perfect relationship doesn't exist (sorry to burst the bubble), but there's always space to build skills and address underlying blockers to feeling more emotionally connected and fulfilled in your relationship, so let’s do it.

We’re Another Shoulder to Lean On

Even with a normal(ish) upbringing, we can pretty much expect to stumble our way through the many complexities of intimacy. There are SO MANY relational habits we’ve grown into and a lifetime of relational histories that have influenced how we connect, seek closeness, and protect ourselves when we feel hurt.

Couples therapy can support you through a variety of experiences from building healthy habits to support a loving relationship to finding a hand to hold during a painful healing process or affair recovery.

You're here because you're getting curious, and that's all it takes. This is your space to explore all of it with couples counseling. We know your time is precious, and that's why we love matching your pace to make sure you feel good bringing it all to the table and getting the most from the time you carve out for one another.

Healing Relationship Therapy That Actually Works for You

At MT, we LOVE working with relationships whether that's through relationship therapy or exploring your side of the equation through mental health support in individual therapy services. It might very well be our favorite thing actually. The way we show up in our relationships (who we're attracted to, how we relate, how we get our needs met, how we don't, how we bottle things up, how we push people away) has everything to do with our story. 

Your therapist shows up in a very unique way to help you gain insight into your relational style and deepen the way you connect. As social animals that require connection and rely on working within systems, it's to our greatest advantage that we understand how we relate to ourselves and others as we move through healthy ways to approach work, friendships, family, and romantic love. In addition to psychological insight rooted in the latest couple's research, we use the therapeutic relationship to help our clients better understand how they navigate vulnerability and their feelings in session as they use their relationship with their therapist as a wealth of information and exploration.

Step Into a Comfortable Space to Go Deep Without the Judgement and Find:

  • Numerous mega-passionate couples therapists that genuinely care to be in your corner

  • Sessions to get ahead of things and maintain your foundational work

  • Work grounded in attachment theory, interpersonal therapy, family systems approaches, Emotion Focused Therapy (PACT) and Gottman Therapy

A Safe Space to Explore Physical Intimacy

When it comes to intimacy, we completely understand that letting a stranger in can sound intimidating and strange. We’re here to offer sex therapy that builds the safety you need to feel heard and understood as you create a sex life that feels fulfilling to your unique partnership.

You’re ALWAYS encouraged to talk through sex discrepancies, changes in function, routine sex, sex after infidelity, and changes that come with life transitions. We'll balance education to help you feel empowered and curiosity that keeps our work fun (as it should be!). To make sure your bases are always covered, we’re also ready to connect you to trusted and reputable specialists like pelvic floor therapists, physicians, and other trusted referrals in the community.

Couples Counseling Houston: Frequently Asked Questions

  • We’ve seen such a demand for couples support as more partners value the foundations of communication, conflict management, creating shared meaning, and knowing one another on every level as part of a healthy relationship. Some couples may feel like therapy is a better outlet for deeper repair, trust issues, and challenges that extend beyond these foundations. Others may want to focus on these foundational areas, and can work with a relationship coach to get a head start on therapy work or focus more on the future than the past.

    Relationship coaching is only available online, offering you more virtual flexibility.

    In partnership with our couples therapy team, we created a coaching program that focuses on those key areas of a strong and loving relationship that can benefit anyone who is:


    • Awaiting couples therapy and wanting to get a head start to work through some initial stressors

    • Looking for an alternative to couples therapy

    • Wanting to get even more value from couples therapy with confidence in the basics of connection, goal-setting, and support

    You can get in touch with the team or fill out a contact form to get time with our admin team, who can guide you to the best free consultation based on your goals as a couple.

  • Our relationship therapists focus on couples counseling work grounded in attachment theory, Imago relationship therapy, interpersonal therapy, family systems approaches, Emotion Focused Therapy, PACT, and Gottman Method Therapy to foster healthier relationships.

  • We sure do! Our couples therapists infuse Gottman trainings and concepts throughout  couples therapy sessions alongside other important conversations that align to your goals as a couple and skills that can strengthen your bond to operate like a true team.

  • The personal and often intimate emotional experience of infidelity is one that our couples therapists are here to hold space for. This is a neutral and safe place to come and speak openly about any anger, betrayal, guilt, or confusion that's lingering as your body and mind copes with a new reality. Together, we can work to rebuild trust, strengthen connection, and heal areas that feel raw. You can rest assured that your story is held with all the love, and none of the judgment as you step closer to repair.

  • Our therapy services for couples are available to anyone located in Texas. Our offices are located in Houston, Texas for in-person sessions and we can accommodate virtual sessions for those who are not local. Our admin team is ready to pair you with the best approach based on what you're looking for and preferences for both partners.

  • Whether you know what type of relationship support you'd like or have absolutely no idea, we've got you! Our lovely admin assistants, Anne and Alyssa are ready to support you to explore which services, therapists, or coaches would be the best fit for your person. All you have to do is choose how you’d like to get in touch as the first step, and we’ll take it from there.
