Couples Therapy San Diego

At Encomium our mission is to excavate undiscovered resources, strengths, and reservoirs of resilience inherent in the very nature of being human.

When to Go to Couples Therapy

Couples seek out therapy at different times. What is clear is that the intimacy and trust that may have been there before have fallen apart. Couples therapy can help you identify why you’re not connecting anymore.


This breakdown can happen for many reasons:


  • Personality differences. 
  • Cultural differences.
  • Past traumas from previous relationships.
  • One of you wants more connection while the other pulls away during stressful times.

How Does Couples Counseling Work?

Couples therapy can happen in many ways. 


Sometimes, it is a mild tuneup to increase relationship skills, fulfillment, freedom, and connection. 


Other times, it’s a longer process that helps you and your partner understand each other better. This can involve:


  • Finding blind spots about how you relate to people. 
  • Learning to communicate better. 
  • Understand and respect each other’s needs and boundaries. 
  • Improving intimacy.
  • Rebuilding trust. 
  • Creating a strong connection, friendship, and partnership. 
  • No longer feeling alone and betrayed. 


Together, we can help you learn to be more open with each other and feel safe expressing yourself. As a result, you’ll respect yourselves and each other more.  Your relationship will inspire and support you. That’s what it takes to have a successful relationship.
