Care for partners
Couples Therapy in Northeastern Pennsylvania
Rebuild trust, deepen connection, and learn to navigate conflict together — in person in Dunmore or by video across Pennsylvania.
Is this for you?
People come to us for couples therapy for many reasons. A few of the most common:
- Conflict feels stuck on the same loop and you're not sure how to break it.
- Trust has been hurt — by betrayal, distance, or the slow erosion of small disconnects.
- One or both of you is carrying trauma that is showing up in the relationship.
- You're a strong couple wanting tune-ups and language to stay close as life shifts.
- You're considering a major change together — moving, parenting, marriage, or separation — and want support thinking it through.
How we work
Our approach to couples therapy
Couples work at SteadyRise is non-blaming and structured. We treat the relationship itself as the client, while honoring each of you as individuals. Our therapists are trained in approaches that take attachment and nervous-system patterns seriously — not just communication scripts.
We help you slow down the moments that usually go sideways, hear what's underneath each other's reactions, and build new patterns you can actually use at home.
Modalities
Approaches we draw from
Gottman Method
Research-based interventions for managing conflict, deepening friendship, and building shared meaning.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attachment-based work that helps partners express vulnerable needs and respond to each other with care.
Trauma-Attuned Couples Work
Integrating each partner's history so trauma reactions don't get mistaken for character flaws.
Attachment Repair
Targeted work to mend ruptures and rebuild the secure base partners need to thrive.
What sessions look like
Format & cadence
Couples sessions are typically 60–90 minutes. We usually meet weekly or biweekly to begin, with both partners present. In-person and virtual options are both available, and many couples mix the two depending on schedules.
Insurance & payment
Insurance acceptance varies by clinician — when you reach out, we'll match you with someone who accepts your plan or talk through other options together.
