Love is often one of the most meaningful, life-changing experiences we ever have. Yet the same relationship that once felt like home can start to feel confusing, distant, or even painful.
If you’re here searching for couples therapy near me, you’re probably longing to feel close again—but you may not know how to get there.
Unclear communication, unspoken resentment, repeated arguments, and old wounds can slowly chip away at even the strongest bond. Over time, simple misunderstandings can become ongoing battles, and the person who once felt like your safest place can start to feel like an opponent.
When day-to-day interactions begin to feel like a warzone, the trust and emotional safety that held you together can weaken. The connection that once defined your relationship may feel like it’s disappearing.
When you reach this point, it’s a powerful and loving choice to reach out for couples counseling—to work with a trained couples therapist who can guide you both back to clarity, respect, and intimacy.
During couples therapy, you will learn how both you and your partner play a role in the problems within your relationship.
With the guidance of our therapists, you will learn to communicate openly in a safe environment and begin to uncover the root of the problems you’re experiencing.
We will help you identify the pain points of your relationship and teach how to change the dynamics.
We’ll also explore how past experiences contribute to differing expectations about behavior, communication, and conflict resolution.
As you become more aware of the assumptions you carry into the relationship, you can begin to create a new set of expectations that both of you understand and support.
Our goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling empowered and able to freely express your love again — and to regain a deeper, more satisfying relationship.
Once each of you takes responsibility for your own behaviors, you will begin to heal the trust within your relationship and restore a deep sense of intimacy and love.
We’re so confident in our extraordinary therapists that we guarantee you’ll love your match – or your money back.
At My LA Therapy, our highly-vetted Anxiety experts are selected not only for their clinical acumen but for who they are.
Our therapists draw from several evidence-based approaches to couples therapy and relationship counseling, including the Gottman Method, Imago Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT).
Each relationship is different, so we personalize these methods based on your personalities, history, and goals.
The Gottman Method, developed by Dr. John and Dr. Julie Gottman, is a research-backed approach that focuses on nine core pillars of a healthy relationship. In our Gottman-informed couples counseling, we’ll work with you on the following:
These include the following:
Imago Relationship Therapy helps you understand how your childhood experiences and early attachment patterns influence the way you show up in your adult relationships.
In Imago-informed couples counseling, we will:
By recognizing these patterns, you can respond to each other with more compassion instead of reflexive blame. This awareness allows you to heal old emotional injuries while also creating new, healthier ways of relating in the present.
Imago Therapy is especially helpful for couples who feel stuck in the same arguments, who feel misunderstood, or who want to deepen emotional intimacy, not just stop fighting.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional bonds that hold relationships together. Instead of just addressing surface-level conflict, EFT helps you understand and transform the emotional patterns underneath.
In emotionally focused couples therapy, we will:
EFT aims to create a secure emotional bond between you and your partner, where both of you feel safe, valued, and emotionally reachable. As these patterns shift, interactions naturally become more supportive and less reactive.
Research has consistently shown EFT to be highly effective for many types of couples across cultures, backgrounds, and locations. It has also been found effective for couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and chronic illness.

I am blown away! I don’t write testimonials, unless I have been extremely moved by something. I was blessed to work with Brooke on a single session, and before this I was in therapy on and off with multiple therapists for the last 20 years of my life. Brooke was able to do more in one session than many years of work with my previous therapist. She has the true gift of great insight and compassion while also getting straight to the heart of your blind spots and unconscious issues in a way that has truly changed my life.

There are people who are good at their work there are people like Brooke: who are born to do it. I cannot recommend Brooke more highly. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had started working with her years ago. From the beginning of our session, she knew exactly what tools and questions that would work for my particular psychology and my personal experience. No other therapist has been able to do that or anything close.
What I also really appreciate from our session is Brooke's ability to go directly to the source of the issue while also keeping a very gentle and kind energy with me. I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Everything and more that I could have ever asked for from a therapist. I have a severe trauma history and complex issues she was able to immediately identify and help. If she could help me, I know she can help you too.

You did more in 45 minutes than my last therapist did in a year.

With your help, I've finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I've avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.

I am extremely fortunate to work with Sydney, who is helping me create real internal change. The talent to listen well is Hall of Fame stuff, and she has that. She then follows with questions, strategies that are organic to the moment. I have come to believe that deep, radical, if occasionally deeply painful change ... and, then, healing can happen. I'm just at the lip of that last part - but would not have gotten there, AT ALL, without Sydney

The best therapist ever! Life-changing 🙂
