Center For Couples Counseling

Center For Couples Counseling We are a team of highly trained therapists specializing in couples and individual therapy, infertili Therapy can help.

We all face challenges in life and get into situations where it feels as though there's no way out. You may be dealing with relationship distress, difficult transitions, grieving a loss, struggling with infertility, or transitioning into parenthood. Therapy is a place where you can talk openly, find support, and gain coping skills for dealing with life in a more effective way. Every small step you

take can make a big impact on your life. Making the decision to go to therapy is not an easy one. You may feel scared to talk to a stranger, or wonder how someone else can help you with your problems. Many people believe they will be labeled as "crazy." What's so crazy about wanting to feel better? I will work with you in a nonjudgmental and respectful way, broaden your ideas and perspectives, challenge your thinking and relationship patterns, and empower you to make lasting changes in your life. I will be there to keep you motivated and accountable. If you are contemplating therapy or working with me, please take a look at my website, erikalabuzanlopeztherapy.com. My website will provide you with more information about me, my therapeutic style and approach, as well as frequently asked questions and answers. I offer free 20 minute phone consultations as well. Please call me at (832) 827-3288 so that we can discuss more about your needs, goals, and what you are looking for in a therapist.

It makes sense to be fearful or wonder if doing an intensive will work. If you're at the point of considering engaging in a couples intensive, there are likely distressing patterns and moments occurring in your relationship and that means the stakes are high. You've got to figure this out, because neither of you can live this way anymore. But what if you invest the time, energy, and money into a couples intensive and nothing changes? That would suck! This week's blog addresses that fear head on, helps you define what it "working" means, and what needs to come together to optimize success.

When couples inquire about doing an intensive with me, an important question is about the cost of engaging in the service. Yes, you need to know what the investment is and what you're getting for that price, but I also want you think about what's the cost of not doing something big to change your relationship? This week's blog explores what you're getting out of a condensed experience for the price versus weekly therapy, AND the hidden cost of staying stuck in your marriage.

At times, weekly couples therapy sessions can start to feel exhausting. It takes time to get into the story, track the cycle, understand what's going on in each person's brain, learn the tools to interrupt the cycle, and practice doing things differently. There are situations in which spreading this process out over 6 months of weekly therapy isn't effective, and the slower pace can do damage if partners are not able to implement tools quickly enough to change the system. What if you could do 6 months of work in 2 days? And it was actually very effective? That's what a couples therapy intensive is for! Check out this week's blog to learn more about what it is and how it works.

How many times have you gotten in a fight and realized later that it was because of a giant miscommunication? That if one of you had shared slightly more information or used more words, the entire fight could've been avoided? This happens to every couple at some point, and for some couples it happens often. Therapist Jaimi believes in radical communication, especially when couples are exploring and experimenting with new tools to better their relationship. This week's blog explains what radical communication is, why it's so important, and how to implement new skills starting today. If you want to argue less, start saying more out loud!

Change rarely feels big or explosive, it often feels small. And what's notable is that small changes over time are more sustainable than drastic burn it all to the ground and start over types of changes. Don't get me wrong, sometimes drastic change is necessary, but you can gain significant momentum from making small consistent progress. Change feels fragile, and when relationship outcomes depend on it, pressure can build. We need to use strategies such as positive reinforcement to keep moving forward in building the relationship that we want. Check out this week's blog to learn more about why and how to gain momentum in your relationship goals. Please like and share to help more people gain access to our free relationship resources.

I can't tell you how much I LOVE a good toolkit! While a lot of work in couples therapy is conceptual and overarching, it's important to drill into specific actions to implement and practice so that we can change patterns that aren't working.

Valentine's Day may be over, but trust me, we're still hearing about it in sessions. It makes perfect sense, because for many couples showing love or celebrations of love often end up looking different than we expected. Sometimes it's because of the story we told ourselves about what the day means, sometimes it's that we haven't accepted a life transition that has changed the structure of the relationship, and sometimes it's because our partner totally flubbed up and it comes across like they don't care. Check out this week's blog to learn how to navigate relationship dynamics when Valentine's Day doesn't play out the way we thought it would.

Valentine's Day is quickly upon us, and while many people have the date circled on the calendar with dates and plans, there are also couples who don't find it all that important. I find that no matter how you choose to celebrate your love, it is important to be intentional in your expressions and acknowledgment of love. While a big heart filled celebration can be wonderful once a year, there's power in small actions everyday as well. Check out Anterris's out of the box take on couples who don't prioritize a one day holiday but choose to look it differently.

First up, we're diving into your relationship with yourself, because after all, it's the only relationship that will follow you everywhere.

You'll probably heard the mantra "Progress over perfection" and likely said it to yourself a time or two to get unstuck; as a recovering perfectionist I've been grateful to utilize it when necessary. But have you applied this idea to your relationship? At the start of the New Year, or when couples first come to therapy, it feels enticing or motivating to create big goals and change everything, which can be great but is often unsustainable. I'm all for radical change, but let's not overlook the power of small wins and making steady progress, because that creates lasting connection!

Many couples enter the new year hoping for fewer emotions and less conflict — but that’s not how connection grows. Real intimacy comes from making space for uncomfortable emotions, not pushing them away or trying to “stay positive” at all costs. When emotions like anger, sadness, or fear are treated as problems, couples often end up feeling misunderstood or disconnected. Our latest blog explores why there’s no such thing as negative emotions, only comfortable and uncomfortable ones. Learn how emotional permission can create safety, honesty, and deeper connection in your relationship. Please like and share to help our free relationship resources reach more people!
