Couples Therapy at Avaiya Integrative Clinic

​

Relationships can be deeply meaningful — and at times, deeply challenging. Couples therapy offers a structured, supportive space to explore patterns, improve communication, and reconnect with one another in ways that feel safe and constructive.

At Avaiya Integrative Clinic, couples therapy is grounded in relational psychology, trauma-informed care, and collaborative dialogue. Our goal is not to assign blame, but to help both partners feel seen, understood, and supported as you work toward healthier patterns together.

 

​

Why People Seek Individual Therapy

​

Couples reach out for many different reasons, including:

• Communication breakdown or recurring conflict

• Emotional disconnection or feeling “stuck” in patterns

• Trust challenges or repair after difficult experiences

• Navigating life transitions or external stressors

• Differing needs, expectations, or attachment styles

• Longstanding relationship tension

• Desire to strengthen intimacy, understanding, or teamwork

​

Therapy can be helpful whether you are in crisis or simply wanting to grow your relationship with intention.

 

​

Our Approach

​

Couples therapy focuses on understanding the relational system rather than viewing one partner as the problem.

​

We draw from:

• Gottman-informed approaches

• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) principles

• Attachment-informed and trauma-aware frameworks

• Nervous system and co-regulation awareness

​

Together, we explore how patterns develop, how each partner’s experiences influence the relationship, and how new ways of relating can emerge.

​

The aim is to help you:

• Communicate with greater clarity and emotional safety

• Understand underlying needs and emotional responses

• Repair ruptures and rebuild trust

• Develop skills for navigating conflict constructively

• Strengthen connection and mutual understanding

 

​

​

​

Is Couples Therapy Only for Relationships in Crisis?

​

Not at all. Many couples seek therapy proactively — to deepen connection, improve communication, or navigate transitions with greater awareness.
