What Happens in Couples Counseling
Couples therapy begins by understanding what brings you in and identifying shared goals. Sessions are structured to encourage open, respectful communication and develop new tools for navigating challenges. Your therapist acts as a neutral guide to help both partners feel heard and supported.
Talk 2 Room offer in-person sessions at 1200 W 35th Street, Chicago, IL, and secure virtual sessions for couples across Illinois.
A Personalized and Supportive Process
Our therapists bring compassion, structure, and practical tools to your relationship. We draw from methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, and relational frameworks that help rebuild trust and connection. Sessions are affirming, collaborative, and tailored to each couple’s dynamic.
