Couples Therapy
When Communication Isn’t the Problem
Most couples don’t come to therapy because of one big event. They come because they’ve grown distant, frustrated, or stuck in the same painful cycle. Have you ever found yourself asking:
Why do we keep having the same argument over and over?
Why do I feel so alone in this relationship?
Is this really what love is supposed to feel like?
How did we get so far from where we started?
If these questions sound familiar, you’re not broken. You’re human! Relationships are complex because they activate our deepest fears and longings. Couples therapy can help you understand those dynamics and find your way back to connection.
Who Couples Therapy Helps
Couples therapy is for partners who want to communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and strengthen their emotional bond.
You may benefit if you and your partner are:
Feeling emotionally distant or “stuck in a loop”
Recovering from betrayal or rupture
Struggling to communicate without defensiveness
Managing life transitions like parenting or loss
Trying to reconnect after years of slow disconnection
Even when it feels like the same patterns keep repeating, there’s hope. The cycle is a signal that something deeper needs care and understanding.
Our Approach to Relationship Healing
At Eric Winton Counseling, we help couples uncover the emotional patterns beneath conflict using evidence-based approaches:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — to identify core needs and strengthen emotional safety
Attachment Theory — to understand the push-pull dynamics that create disconnection
Internal Family Systems (IFS) — to help each partner bring self-awareness into the relationship
Somatic & Mindfulness Practices — to stay regulated during difficult conversations
Our goal isn’t to assign blame; it’s to help you both feel safer, more understood, and emotionally connected.
