EFT & GOTTMAN METHOD
If any of this sounds familiar?
You keep having the same fight different topic, same ending.
One of you pursues; the other shuts down or pulls away.
You feel lonely in your marriage, even when you're in the same room.
Small things turn into big fights, fast.
Trust has been broken — an affair, pornography, secrecy — and you don't know if it can come back.
The sex has faded, and talking about it feels impossible.
You're asking the hardest question: Is this marriage worth saving?
These patterns are predictable and changeable. The fight isn't really about the dishes, the phone, or the in-laws. It's about a cycle underneath, and once you can see the cycle, everything starts to shift.
At Known Counseling, we use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most researched and effective approaches to couples counseling.
Studies on EFT have found that:
About 7 out of 10 couples who complete EFT move from distressed to no longer distressed.
Around 9 out of 10 couples show meaningful improvement in their relationship satisfaction.
Most couples keep those gains one to two years later when they continue to practice what they learned.
Research on couples therapy in general also shows that partners who attend structured counseling improve much more than couples who wait and hope things change on their own.
Your marriage is not an experiment. We use methods that have been tested.
The 4 Week Start
Give your relationship four focused weeks.
Over the next month, we will help you:
Map the negative cycle that keeps pulling you apart
Slow down the conflict and help you actually hear each other
Begin repairing hurt and rebuilding emotional safety
Learn new ways to reach for each other when you feel alone, angry, or afraid
Four weeks will not “fix everything,” but it will give you real, evidence based change you can feel, and a clear sense of what is possible if you keep going.

What we help couples work through
✓ Communication & Conflict Same fight on repeat. Escalation. Shutting down. Defensiveness. We teach you how to fight for the relationship instead of against each other.
✓ Emotional Disconnection Feeling like roommates. Loneliness inside the marriage. Drifting apart over years. We help you rebuild the emotional intimacy that brought you together.
✓ Trust & Betrayal Affairs — emotional and physical. Pornography. Secrecy and broken promises. Trust can be rebuilt, but not by pretending. We guide the honest version of that work.
✓ Attachment & Old Wounds Anxious and avoidant patterns. Childhood trauma showing up in marriage. The chase-withdraw dance. This is where our practice goes deeper than most.
✓ Sex & Intimacy Mismatched desire. The intimacy that stopped after kids. Shame that makes it hard to even talk about. Emotional safety comes first — we start there.
✓ Marriage on the Brink One foot out the door. "My spouse wants a divorce." Discernment counseling for couples deciding whether to stay. Even if only one of you is sure — start here.
Next Step
Schedule a no pressure, 15 minute phone consult.
We will listen, answer your questions and help you decide whether this is the right step for your relationship.
You have already been trying to fix this on your own. You do not have to keep doing it that way.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before Counseling
-
We do not bill insurance directly. We accept HSA and FSA cards. We can give you a receipt (called a superbill) to send to your insurance. They may pay you back part of the cost
-
This happens a lot. Many couples start with one partner curious and one unsure. We are happy to talk about what a first visit looks like, no pressure.
-
Yes, if you want it to be. Faith can be part of your sessions if it matters to you. We don't require it, and we won't leave it out if it's a big part of your relationship.
-
It depends on which counselors have open times that week. Most couples get an appointment fairly fast, especially if you're willing to see any of our counselors instead of waiting for one person.
