Couples Counseling
Finding Your Way Back to Each Other With Couples Counseling
Facing challenges in your relationship can feel overwhelming and heartbreaking. Maybe you’ve noticed more distance between you and your partner—more arguments, less connection, or a growing sense that something just feels “off.” You might find yourselves stuck in the same patterns, struggling to communicate, or feeling unsure about how to bridge the gap that’s formed between you.
Sometimes, it’s not just the big fights—it’s the quiet disconnection, the unresolved hurt, or the stress of life that starts to pile up and pull you apart. You might be carrying the weight of your relationship struggles on top of everything else life demands, unsure of how to move forward or how to bring back the closeness you once shared.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

FAQs about In Person Couples Therapy
What kind of therapist is best for couples?
When it comes to couples counseling, the best therapist is someone who not only has specialized training in working with couples, but who also makes both partners feel heard, understood, and supported. Look for a therapist who has experience with relationship dynamics and communication issues—often someone with a background in marriage and family therapy (LMFT), or someone trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or the Gottman Method. But beyond credentials, the connection you feel with your therapist matters just as much. You want someone who creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where both of you can open up, feel respected, and begin to do the work together.
What is the most effective form of couples therapy?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer, but two approaches are especially well-known for their effectiveness:
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples understand and shift emotional patterns that may be keeping them stuck. It focuses on rebuilding emotional bonds and creating a stronger, more secure connection.
-
The Gottman Method is rooted in decades of research and gives couples practical tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and build deeper intimacy and respect.
At Annapolis Counseling Center, our couples therapists draw from these evidence-based approaches and tailor their support to your unique relationship. Because healing isn’t just about techniques—it’s about connection, care, and feeling like someone truly understands what you’re going through.
