Find Your Therapist Match

You're here because you want something better.

We keep having the same fight

It starts small, escalates fast, and nothing gets resolved. You're both exhausted by the cycle but don't know how to stop it. That's exactly what our couples therapy is designed to change.

We feel distant and disconnected

You're living under the same roof but feel miles apart. The closeness you once had has faded, and you're not sure how to get it back. We help couples rebuild that emotional and physical connection.

Trust has been broken

An affair, a betrayal, a secret that changed everything. You're wondering if healing is even possible. Our therapists specialize in helping couples process the pain and find a path forward.

Still on the fence? A free 30-minute consultation is a no-pressure way to ask questions and see if we're a good fit, with no commitment to continue.

Happy couple connected - Love Seat Counseling

We help you move from miscommunication to understanding, from disconnection to deeper intimacy.

Three ways to take the first step.

However you prefer to start, we make the process simple. Choose the path that feels right for you.

Why our approach helps couples feel safer and less stuck.

Most couples come to us feeling trapped in the same painful patterns. Our therapists use an approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) that gets to the root of what's really happening between you, not just the surface-level arguments.

EFT is the most researched couples therapy approach in the world. It works by helping you and your partner understand the deeper emotions driving your disconnect, so you can respond to each other differently. 90% of couples who go through EFT see real improvement, and most of our clients notice meaningful shifts within 8 to 20 sessions.

You don't need to understand the science behind it. You just need to know: it helps couples feel heard, feel safe, and feel closer.

Couple reconnecting in nature
1

See the pattern, not just the fight

We help you recognize the cycle you keep falling into and understand what's really driving it underneath.

2

Feel safe enough to be honest

We create space where both partners can say what they actually feel without it turning into another argument.

3

Learn to reach for each other differently

Instead of shutting down or blowing up, you learn new ways to ask for what you need and respond to your partner.

4

Walk away with tools that stick

What you build in sessions carries into your daily life. The changes are not just temporary - they last.

5

Break the communication loop for good

EFT directly targets the communication cycles that keep couples stuck, replacing them with patterns that actually work.

Everything your relationship might need.

We offer a full range of couples therapy, individual therapy, and relationship services from two DFW-area offices and via telehealth across Texas.

Therapy that reflects who you are.

At The Love Seat Counseling & Life Coaching, we believe providing multicultural counseling is essential in therapy. We know that individuals all view the world from unique perspectives, but we also recognize that being able to find a therapist who shares some of your cultural experiences and views can mean the difference between feeling better and continuing to struggle.

Our therapists represent a diverse range of perspectives and world experiences, and they have all received training in multicultural therapy approaches to ensure we can provide the best possible care for anyone we work with.

Answers before your first session.

How do I know which therapist is right for me?
You can take our free Therapist Matching Quiz, or call us and our intake coordinator will help match you based on your needs, preferences, and goals. We want you to feel confident before your first session.
Do you accept insurance?
Couples therapy is generally not covered by insurance. We do accept HSA/FSA cards, offer competitive rates, and can provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Visit our Rates page for current pricing and payment options.
How much do sessions cost?
Initial intake sessions (60 minutes) range from $175 to $240 depending on your therapist's licensure level. Ongoing sessions (50 minutes) range from $155 to $220. Weekend sessions with associate therapists are $175-$185. We accept credit/debit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and cash. Visit our Rates & Insurance page for full details.
Should I book a first session or a free consultation?
If you already know you want to start therapy, go ahead and book your intake session - that's your first full session (60 minutes) where we dive into your story, your goals, and start building a plan together. If you're still exploring whether therapy is right for you or want help choosing a therapist, our free 30-minute consultation is a no-pressure conversation to ask questions and see if we're a good fit. Either way, you're taking a great first step.
What's the difference between regular therapy and an intensive?
Couples intensives are extended sessions - typically a full day or weekend - that allow for deeper, more concentrated work. They're ideal for couples who want accelerated progress or are navigating a crisis.
How long does couples therapy typically take?
Most couples see meaningful progress within 8 to 20 sessions. After your first few sessions your therapist will give you an honest assessment of what to expect. We are not interested in keeping you in therapy longer than you need.
Do you offer virtual / telehealth sessions?
Yes. All of our therapists offer secure telehealth sessions for individuals and couples anywhere in Texas, in addition to in-person sessions at our Fort Worth and North Richland Hills locations.
What if my partner is reluctant about couples therapy?
Very common. Our free consultation is a low-pressure way for both partners to understand what sessions actually look like. Most hesitant partners leave that call feeling genuinely open to giving it a try.
Do you offer weekend appointments?
Yes. We offer Saturday and Sunday sessions at both our Fort Worth Alliance and North Richland Hills offices to accommodate busy schedules. Weekend availability varies by therapist, so we recommend booking early or asking during your free consultation.
Can we do couples therapy if only one partner is ready?
Absolutely. It's common for one partner to be more ready than the other. Individual therapy can be a great starting point, and many clients find that once they begin their own work, their partner becomes more open to joining. We can also help you navigate how to bring up the conversation.

Two offices. One mission.

In-person and telehealth video counseling sessions available. We serve couples and individuals across the entire state of Texas.
