Couples & Relationships
Three options. One outcome: Trust Restored, Safety, and Connection.
Relationships hold both profound joy and deep pain. Through specialized couples therapy and intensives, partners learn to rebuild safety and reconnect with authenticity.The Couples Healing path helps partners rebuild safety, deepen connection, and restore emotional and spiritual closeness. Each experience blends attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and faith-based wisdom to guide couples from disconnection to renewal.
I work with couples at every stage —whether navigating communication challenges, betrayal, or emotional distance. Sessions provide a calm, structured space to slow down, understand your patterns, and learn to connect from a place of safety and grace. I help:
- Couples seeking to rebuild trust or repair emotional rupture
- Partners experiencing recurring conflict or communication breakdowns
- Those healing from betrayal or relational trauma
- Married or dating couples who want deeper emotional and spiritual connection
Choose the Format That Fits You
Every couple’s story is different. These formats offer distinct levels of support—whether you’re seeking consistent growth, intensive restoration, or focused guidance after a major rupture.
Couples Therapy (75–90 min)
Weekly or biweekly sessions help couples identify patterns, improve communication, and build emotional safety. Using attachment-based and faith-integrated approaches, partners learn to reconnect with empathy and authenticity.
Ideal for couples seeking consistent support and tools for lasting relational growth over a longer period of time.
Couples Intensives (1–5 days)
A Christ-centered, trauma-informed, and spiritually integrated experience for couples seeking deep repair, reconnection, and renewal. This private intensive blends neuroscience, EMDR Therapy, Brainspotting, attachment theory, and spiritual integration to help you move through rupture and into lasting restoration.

Consultative services at arKardia are distinct from psychotherapy and are not considered a clinical treatment relationship. This distinction is maintained in accordance with the NASW Code of Ethics to ensure professional clarity and integrity of care.

Investment: $995
If you are in an abusive relationship, arKardia Counseling & Consulting does not recommend joint sessions because they can do more harm than good. A victim of abuse is not responsible for the behavior of the abuser. If you are a victim of abuse, we can support you and guide you. You will not be judged or coerced to leave.
Please reach out to discuss which options may be the best fit for you.
