Couples Therapy in California
Trauma-informed couples therapy for communication, conflict, and relationship healing.
What Is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy provides a supportive space for partners to explore relationship challenges, strengthen communication, and deepen emotional connection.
Many couples seek therapy during periods of transition — such as pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, or major life changes — while others come in when they feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to move forward together.
At Rooted in Harmony Counseling, couples therapy is not about assigning blame or deciding who is “right.” It’s about understanding patterns, creating emotional safety, and building new ways of relating that feel more connected and sustainable.
Common Reasons Couples Seek Therapy
Ongoing conflict or frequent arguments
Communication breakdowns or feeling misunderstood
Emotional or physical disconnection
Trust concerns or past relational injuries
Parenting stress or differences in values
Life transitions impacting the relationship
Difficulty repairing after conflict
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from couples therapy.
Our Trauma-Informed Approach
Our couples therapists use trauma-informed, attachment-based approaches that consider how past experiences, nervous system responses, and attachment needs shape relationships.
We integrate evidence-based modalities such as:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Gottman-informed couples therapy
Somatic and nervous system regulation practices
Attachment-based and relational therapy
This approach helps partners move out of reactive cycles and into greater understanding, empathy, and connection.
