Couples Therapy & Relationship Work
Deepening Connection, Strengthening Communication, and Healing Relational Patterns
Change Starts Here.
Relationships are at the heart of our well-being, yet they can also be one of the greatest sources of stress, conflict, and emotional pain. Whether you’re struggling with communication breakdowns, trust issues, recurring arguments, or feelings of disconnection, couples therapy at Michigan Wellbeing provides a space for healing, understanding, and lasting change.
We work with couples at all stages—whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or navigating a separation—to help you strengthen your bond, improve communication, and create a relationship built on trust, intimacy, and emotional security.
If you’re feeling stuck in unhealthy dynamics, longing for deeper connection, or simply want to strengthen your relationship, couples therapy can help.
Every relationship is unique, which is why we tailor our approach to your specific needs and challenges. We integrate attachment-based, emotionally focused, and research-backed approaches to help you break unhelpful patterns, deepen connection, and create a more fulfilling partnership.

Practical Tools for Everyday Life – Therapy is not just about insight—it’s about gaining the tools and strategies to navigate emotions, relationships, and daily life with confidence.
Deep, Root-Cause Healing – Instead of just managing symptoms, we work to understand and shift underlying patterns so that real, lasting change can happen.
A Flexible, Evolving Process – As you grow, your therapy evolves with you. We adjust the approach based on what’s working, ensuring that each session remains impactful and aligned with your needs.
