Couples & Relationship Counseling

At Abundance Counseling Services, supporting relationships is a core specialty. Our work with couples and individuals focuses on strengthening connection, deepening understanding, and fostering growth even in moments of conflict or disconnection. We recognize that relationships are complex systems where attachment, communication, and personal histories intersect — and our approach integrates evidence-based interventions tailored to each couple’s unique needs.

​

Forms of Intervention:

Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Grounded in over 40 years of research, the Gottman Method helps couples identify destructive patterns, increase positive interactions, and build lasting trust and intimacy. Through structured assessments and skill-building exercises, couples learn to manage conflict constructively, enhance emotional connection, and nurture shared meaning.

​

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT focuses on the emotional bonds between partners. Using an attachment-based framework, we help couples identify and shift negative cycles, express core needs safely, and create a secure emotional connection. This model fosters deep emotional engagement, helping partners move from disconnection to responsiveness and trust.

​

Discernment Counseling
For couples uncertain about staying together, Discernment Counseling offers a short-term, structured process to gain clarity and confidence about the future of the relationship. It is not marriage therapy, but a decision-making model designed to help both partners understand their individual contributions to the relationship’s challenges and determine whether to pursue reconciliation or separation with compassion and respect.

​

Together, these models allow us to meet couples at any stage — from rebuilding after betrayal to rediscovering closeness or deciding next steps — always with care, neutrality, and respect for both individuals.
