Couples Counseling in Denver, CO
new relationships + pre-marital therapy
We don’t often talk about therapy for relationships that are generally going really well. But I promise you that couples therapy can be so much more than a last resort. If we use couples therapy as a regular space to intentionally come together, find ways for deeper, more meaningful connection, and even repair the smaller hurts that might otherwise be brushed under the rug, therapy can actually be preventative.
By taking intentional steps to honor and strengthen what’s going well in your relationship right now, you’re simultaneously taking steps to prevent breakdowns in communication and connection in the future. This process looks different for every relationship; together, we will structure our work in couples counseling to meet the unique needs of your connection and desires for your relationship, both for the short-term and the long-term.
Each of our couples counselors at CZ Therapy Group specialize in helping new couples build a strong and intentional foundation for their relationship. Learn more about premarital counseling here.
relationship therapy for couples who’ve experienced trauma
As a group of trauma and relationship therapists, we’re passionate about working with partners whose individual trauma histories are impacting their ability to connect in their relationships. When we experience trauma, it’s not uncommon for our bodies to get stuck in protection mode. You might know that your partner is safe and loving and want so deeply to be able to connect with them. But, if those protective parts of you are still doing their job at the level needed to keep you safe during the past trauma, this can feel really messy and really hard.
The good news: Couples Therapy with a trauma-focused lens can help
More good news: you’re also probably pretty damn resilient if this represents a piece of your story. You’ve chosen to seek intimacy, vulnerability, and connection even when they don’t feel safe or comfortable right now. And there is so much hope that stems from that! Relationships that are safe and trusting provide an incredible opportunity for trauma healing. In couples counseling, you’ll have the opportunity to rewrite your narratives around relationships and intimacy, heal attachment wounds, and cultivate the connection you’ve always wanted.
