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.

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!

Have you been expecting your partner to just know that you appreciate what they do or are changing to help you? Have you been wondering if you're doing enough? Jaimi's invitation for radical communication takes the guess work out of relational feedback and encourages positive growth.

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. This week's blog explores the importance of positive reinforcement, how to use it practically, and why it's essential to fortify progress in behavioral changes.

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.

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!

Love and connection are more than emotional concepts, they're scientifically based as well. Hormones occur and impact behaviors, thoughts, and emotions over the course of relationships, and it's truly fascinating to understand how these hormones interact in our own bodies and brains, and their influence on how we conduct ourselves in our relationships.

We know the holidays can be fun filled, full of laughter and joy, and a favorite time of the year AND it can be anxiety provoking, prescriptive, and overwhelming.

Check out this week's blog for some practical tips for communicating about this stress and coming up with a plan with your partner to make things go smoothly and merrily!

People often review their goals and evaluate progress around this time of the year, but when's the last time you reviewed your relationship? Dr. John Delony recommends doing a relationship retreat to review the previous year and plan for the year coming up-all specifically in regards to creating the marriage/relationship that you really want. I've personally done this with my husband and found it immensely helpful. Check out this week's blog to help you get started by asking 10 reflective questions and gaining some insight on what's working and not working in your marriage, which will guide your relationship goals for next year.
