Reconnect. Heal. Grow Together.
You’re both busy, stressed, or feeling disconnected — but you can rediscover a stronger connection and healthier communication through couples therapy.
THE PROBLEM WE ALL FACE
External: You’re dealing with unhelpful patterns — frequent fights, emotional distance, trauma, anxiety, or silences that feel like walls.
Internal: You’re thinking, “I can’t keep living like this. Something has to change.”
Philosophical: At your core, you believe: You deserve to be fully known, cared for, and deeply connected.
At Known Counseling, our licensed couples-therapists create an empathetic, non-judgmental space where you both feel heard, respected, and guided toward transformation. We understand the demands of Colorado life (commute, family, career) and tailor therapy to fit your schedule and goals.
Here’s our simple 3-step plan:
Book a Session – Choose a time that works for both of you (including online/telehealth).
Meet Your Counselor – We’ll assess where the relationship is, clarify issues & strengths, and begin to build new patterns.
Experience Healing & Change – Develop tools for communication, resolve conflict, rebuild connection, and move toward a fulfilling relationship.
If you delay: resentment grows, fights become more entrenched, emotional distance widens, and you risk losing the relationship you value—or staying in one that drains you. Without help, healthy patterns seldom just emerge on their own.
Imagine: feeling heard instead of ignored; calm instead of tense; understood instead of isolated. Picture stronger trust, better communication, renewed closeness—and the confidence that you can face whatever life throws at you — together.
FAQ
What usually happens in couples therapy?
In a typical session, you’ll both meet together (or some hybrid of joint + individual sessions). The therapist will:
Explore relationship history, current stressors, and each partner’s experience.
Identify patterns of interaction (like criticism, withdrawal, avoidance) that keep you stuck.
Teach tools for healthier communication (listening, speaking your truth, managing emotion).
Work toward new behaviors and rituals that strengthen your connection.
Therapy is active, collaborative, and tailored to your unique relationship.
Can I book same-day or online couples therapy appointments?
Yes — many online platforms and virtual therapists offer flexible scheduling. For example:
Talkspace offers online couples therapy sessions via video or messaging. (Talkspace)
ReGain (specializing in relationships) is noted among top online couples-therapy services. (Verywell Mind)
And teletherapy in general can be just as effective as in-person for couples. (The Family Institute at Northwestern)
If you’re located in Thornton, Westminster, Broomfield, Brighton, Northglenn, or Boulder — or anywhere in Colorado — online therapy gives you added flexibility around work-life demands.
What’s the success rate of couples therapy?
Research shows that modern couples therapy can help 70-80% of individuals fare better than if they’d not engaged therapy. (PMC)
Some reviews say the success rate for marriage counseling is around 70%, and up to 90% of couples report benefit. (Well Marriage Center)
Quick summary: Strong chances of positive change — especially if you both commit, start earlier rather than later, and choose an experienced couples therapist.
What is the “5-5-5 rule” in couples therapy?
The 5-5-5 rule is a useful communication tool you can use between sessions:
Each partner takes 5 minutes to speak, uninterrupted, about what they are feeling. (Brian Stalcup)
Then the other partner listens for 5 minutes, without interrupting or defending.
Then for 5 minutes you both discuss possible solutions, responses, or next steps together.
Another variation: ask “Will this matter in 5 minutes? 5 days? 5 years?” to shift perspective and reduce escalation. (Treacy Eller, MFT)
Using it helps diffuse reactivity, promote listening, and keep distance between argument and solution.
