Everyone faces relationship challenges, often for understandable reasons. Many of us have suddenly been launched into daily schedules that feel completely unfamiliar. You might now be working from home unexpectedly, bringing its own daily challenges. Perhaps you or your partner (or both) are currently not working at all, causing financial strain. When you live together, spending all your waking hours with your partner and/or children can prove more challenging than expected.

Understanding Relationship Challenges
Are you feeling concerned about your relationship? Take a moment to think about the problems you and your partner are facing.
Have arguing and conflict become a constant part of life? Are you facing intimacy problems such as struggling to connect with one another emotionally? Maybe you each envision a different future, and you aren’t sure what that means for your relationship. Because of this, you’re questioning your partner’s commitment to the relationship, and even your own commitment.
Unique Challenges for Unmarried Couples in Arizona
Unmarried couples (whether or not they’re cohabiting) sometimes face significant instability. Often, this occurs because relationships of this kind are easier to end than marriage, at least from a legal standpoint. When things go wrong, both partners can begin to question their commitment to one another and whether saving the relationship is worth the struggle.
Common Issues We Address in Couples Counseling
Unmarried couples face many of the same problems as married couples. Both relationships encounter intimacy issues and conflict. Unmarried couples still face affairs and personal crises that impact the relationship as a whole. However, unmarried couples face some problems that occur more frequently in their situation:
- Navigating level of commitment to the relationship and whether it should continue
- Conflict over how to integrate finances, schedules, and social lives
- Varying expectations over how much to invest in the relationship and planning for the future together
- Decisions about whether to get married, whether to live together or apart, and whether to have children while unmarried
How Marriage and Family Therapists Help Couples
Many couples find it difficult to work through their problems alone. If you and your partner find yourselves facing relationship problems such as these, you could greatly benefit from seeing a marriage and family therapist who provides professional couples counseling.
A therapist can help you work through your questions, doubts, and struggles so you can regain a satisfying relationship. Your relationship problems don’t have to be huge or at crisis level for a marriage and family therapist to be helpful. Couples counseling is appropriate for any couple who desires to strengthen their relationship.

A Marriage and Family Therapist Can Help
Evidence-Based Couples Counseling Practices
Our approach to couples therapy is grounded in evidence-based counseling practices. All of the couples therapy exercises we use to guide you through treatment have been supported by decades of research studies to improve relationships of distressed couples.
Emotionally Focused Therapy for Arizona Couples
The particular form of treatment we use in our counseling practice is called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Emotionally Focused Therapy tends to yield fast results. Couples who are focused and motivated often experience significant improvements in their relationship after 8-10 sessions.
One of EFT’s goals is helping couples emotionally bond with one another. We focus on helping you figure out what this looks like in your relationship. We help you and your partner identify patterns of conflict and ways in which you tend to emotionally respond during stress. As therapy progresses, we help you find new ways to accept each other and meet one another’s needs.
Research-Proven Results
Emotionally Focused Therapy used in relationship counseling is highly effective. Research shows that 90% of couples who receive EFT show significant improvements. Emotionally Focused Therapy leads to increased intimacy and higher levels of satisfaction within the overall relationship. We know that EFT works, and we believe it can help your relationship.
Taking the First Step
We are dedicated to helping couples transform and strengthen their relationships. We are happy to answer any questions you might have about our approach to relationship counseling and how we might help you and your spouse.
Depending on your situation, we also offer EFT for unmarried couples, couples facing infidelity and divorce, and couples in need of premarital counseling.
