Reviewed by Debra Feinberg LCSW at Maplewood Counseling
Are You and Your Partner Feeling Stuck?
Do you and your partner find yourselves repeating the same arguments or feeling a sense of distance that wasn’t there before? You’re not alone—these struggles are difficult, but they don’t have to define your relationship’s future. At Maplewood Counseling, we understand what it feels like to want change, yet feel unsure where to begin. That’s why we’re here, ready to walk alongside you as you rediscover connection and hope.
What Makes Maplewood Counseling Different?
Every couple carries a unique story, and we honor yours with empathy and respect. Our therapists use research-backed, effective methods—like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and other attachment-based, relational approaches—to help you and your partner rebuild trust, restore communication, and nurture resilience in your relationship. No matter your background or the challenges you face, you’ll find safe, supportive care designed for real change.
Our Approach: Evidence-Based, Compassionate Care
Healing Through Connection
We believe strong relationships are rooted in meaningful connection, and our approach places that bond at the heart of every session. Through proven counseling frameworks, we provide a space where both partners can feel safe to express themselves, address old wounds, and learn new ways to listen and respond with empathy.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): EFT gently uncovers the emotions and needs beneath conflict. Instead of getting caught in endless cycles, you’ll learn to communicate needs for closeness and safety, deepening your bond and building new patterns of trust.
- Attachment & Relational Methods: By exploring how your histories influence your interactions today, we help you reframe patterns, practice compassionate response, and foster a sense of security for both partners.
The Maplewood Counseling Difference: Measurable Progress, Real Hope
Not Just Promises—See the Change for Yourselves
While many clinics offer couples counseling, you deserve care that’s both compassionate and informed by real results. At Maplewood Counseling, couples who engage in 6 to 12 sessions frequently share remarkable changes, which include:
- Renewed Relationship Satisfaction: Partners speak of moving from frustration and disconnect to experiencing new hope, warmth, and emotional closeness.
- Healthier Communication: Clients routinely notice fewer misunderstandings and a greater ability to talk through difficult topics together—with less conflict and more support.
- Strengthened Emotional Bonds: As you progress, it’s common to feel more secure, valued, and connected, even during the toughest moments.
Our therapy doesn’t just address the surface-level issues—it aims to heal core patterns, helping both of you build new habits that last well beyond your time in the therapy room.
If the idea of starting this process brings up concern or uncertainty, you’re not alone in that feeling. Many couples are unsure before they take the first step, and we honor that courage. Our therapists are committed to offering a non-judgmental, confidential space where both partners’ feelings and experiences are respected.
