Couples Therapy in houston 


book a discovery call

The feeling that no matter how hard you try, your partner just doesn’t hear you. 

The same argument, on repeat. Conversations that go nowhere. 

Misunderstandings turn into resentment, and before long, even the good moments feel fragile. The connection that once felt effortless now feels like work. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

There used to be so much love between you, but these days you’re stuck in patterns that leave you feeling miles apart 

Relationships are complex, and without the right support, it’s easy to get stuck in unhealthy patterns.

At Houston Healing Collective, we offer two powerful paths for couples seeking to heal and reconnect:

Traditional Couples Therapy: Through an attachment-informed, emotionally attuned lens, we help couples improve communication, navigate conflict more effectively, rebuild trust, and foster a deeper, more resilient bond.

When you’re navigating conflict, recovering from betrayal, or simply seeking to deepen intimacy, we provide expert support tailored to your relationship’s needs.

Couples Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP):
An option that combines ketamine’s therapeutic effects with guided couples work for deeper emotional access, faster breakthroughs, and transformational healing.

Other Details about Couples Therapy


What issues can couples therapy address?

Couples therapy can benefit partners at any stage of their relationship, whether they are dating, engaged, married, or considering separation. It is helpful for couples experiencing communication problems, frequent conflicts, emotional disconnection, infidelity, or major life transition.

Couples therapy can address a wide range of issues, including but not limited to:
  • Communication barriers
  • Trust issues
  • Disagreements about parenting or finances
  • Sexual dissatisfaction
  • Differences in values or long-term goals
  • Coping with external pressures like job stress or extended family

How long does couples therapy typically last?

The duration of couples therapy varies depending on the couple's specific issues and goals. While it’s uncommon for meaningful progress to happen in just a few sessions, some couples may notice changes within a couple of months, whereas others may benefit from ongoing therapy over a longer period.

Typically, sessions are about 50–60 minutes and held weekly.

What happens in a typical therapy session?

In a typical session, the therapist will encourage both partners to discuss their thoughts and emotions related to their relationship issues. The therapist acts as a mediator, helping to clarify misunderstandings, reveal underlying feelings, and identify destructive patterns. The goal is to promote understanding, improve communication, and facilitate healthy ways of interacting.


Is everything we say in couples therapy confidential?

Yes, with few exceptions (such as threats of harm), everything discussed in therapy is confidential. Therapists are bound by ethical guidelines to keep the information shared in sessions private unless consent is given to share specific details.

What if my partner doesn't want to participate?

It can be challenging when one partner is reluctant or unwilling to participate in therapy. In such cases, individual therapy might be an option to explore personal issues related to the relationship. Sometimes, seeing one partner engage in therapy can motivate the other to join.

How can we get the most out of couples therapy?

To maximize the benefits of couples therapy, be open and honest in your communications, both with your partner and the therapist. Commit to the process and be willing to explore the changes suggested by your therapist. Practice the techniques learned in therapy outside of sessions to see improvements in your relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you work with your clients? 

Our work is designed to help individuals with a history of trauma, disordered eating and body image issues, perfectionism, and treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. We offer EMDR, parts work, DBT, eating disorder treatment, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups. All of our therapists work from an anti-diet, Health at Every Size (R) approach

back to questions

Who do you work with?

Our services for teens (12+) and adults include individual therapy, family and couples therapy, group therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, EMDR, and specialized intensives & ketamine retreats. Our comprehensive approach ensures that you receive the best possible care tailored to your unique journey.

back to questions

Is it possible for me to fully recover from my eating disorder or heal my complex trauma? I feel like the work never ends. 

Yes! It’s possible to lead a more free and fulfilling life that honors your past and creates space for a brighter future. If your healing journey has ever felt disorganized or like it’s one step forward and two steps back, our innovative and specialized treatment options could likely be beneficial for you. Oftentimes therapy only scratches the surface, offering skills to help you survive, not thrive. We're committed to diving deep to help you heal your pain at the source. That's where true healing happens.

back to questions

I’m not sure about ketamine or psychedelics in general. Can I still work with you? 

Absolutely! While Houston Healing Collective offers ketamine-assisted therapy, we recognize that it's not for everyone! We are trained to treat eating disorders, trauma and anxiety, and family conflict through diverse therapy modalities, including EMDR & DBT, allowing us to find a treatment plan that works for you and your family. 

back to questions

Can you guarantee that I’ll see results? I feel like I’ve tried everything already.

We understand your frustration with your journey so far and are here to honor your experience. That said, there isn’t a guarantee of what will or won't work for you. Our biggest intention with building your care plan is to make sure you have flexibility and fluidity as we determine which method(s) are the most aligned for you or your loved one.

back to questions

I’ve never been part of a community or group while receiving care before. What can I expect? 

While it might seem counterintuitive to involve strangers in your healing journey—especially if you’ve worked one-on-one with care providers in the past—our clients often see faster, more effective results when incorporating our groups and retreats. This is because much of the depression, anxiety, and shame you’ve experienced in the past has taken place in solitude. But at Houston Healing Collective, we believe that true healing happens in relationships and in community. 

back to questions

Do you take insurance?

Houston Healing Collective is not in-network with any insurance panels. However, we will be able to provide you with an itemized receipt (called a superbill) that you can submit to insurance for potential reimbursement. Through our resources and partnerships with various organizations, we are able to offer financial aid, payment plans, and reduced rate services. 

back to questions

What's your cancellation policy?

We have a 24 hour cancellation policy for individual, family, & couples therapy and a 48 hour cancellation policy for groups & ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Any sessions cancelled within 24 and 48 hours, respectively, will be charged a full session rate.
