Find Each Other Again: Marriage Counseling
1. What is Couples Therapy and How Can It Help Our Relationship?
Couples therapy is a form of counseling that helps partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild emotional connection. Whether you're struggling with trust, intimacy, or ongoing disagreements, a trained couples therapist can guide you in strengthening your relationship.
2. When Should We Consider Couples Counseling?
If you're feeling disconnected, having frequent arguments, or facing major life transitions like parenting, infidelity, or financial stress, couples therapy can help. You don’t have to wait until things are falling apart—early support can lead to lasting change.
3. What is EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and Why is It Effective?
EFT is a research-backed approach to couples therapy that focuses on building secure emotional bonds between partners. It helps couples recognize negative patterns, express deeper emotions, and create stronger, more responsive connections. Many couples report long-term improvement in trust and intimacy through EFT.
4. Can Couples Therapy Work If Only One Of Us Is Ready?
While couples therapy is most effective when both partners are willing to participate, even starting with one partner can bring valuable insights and change. A therapist can help explore dynamics and offer guidance that may encourage your partner to join in.
5. Can Couples Therapy Help If We’re Thinking About Divorce?
Yes, couples therapy can be extremely helpful if you're considering divorce or separation. Therapy provides a neutral space to explore your relationship, understand what led to the disconnect, and determine whether healing and reconnection are possible. Even if the decision is to part ways, therapy can help you do so with clarity and respect.
EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED COUPLES THERAPY
FINDING CONNECTION AND INTIMACY AGAIN
EFT helps couples by assisting them to be open, attuned, and responsive to each other allowing them to reestablish their emotional connection. An essential element in healthy marriages is emotional responsiveness: trust in your ability to have emotional communication during high stress.

Knowing that you can turn towards each other when it really matters. Having this is deeper than “I know they love me.” It is “I know in my bones they are there for me, they are my friend, they have my back, I know we are a team.” Couples Therapy helps couples learn how they are getting stuck (feeling alone or not important when you need your partner the most), assist to communicate the genuine need, and help the other partner hear it in a non-threatening way. Counselors at Johns Creek and Alpharetta Counseling are trained to provide EFT. We can help you overcome barriers to communication, connection, and intimacy. We can help it be simple again. That hole in your heart can feel full again.
Why Experience & Training Matters
Counselors graduate with the basic knowledge of counseling skills. To offer couples therapy, counselors attend additional trainings certfications in couples therapy. & most counselors... have not taken that step. At JCAC, our couple's counselors have training in EFT couples therapy and are taking steps to certification. We have seen countless couples find each other again and have the marriage they dream of. It is possible for you!

Pro Tips:
1) Ask your potential counselor how much training they have received in couples therapy, and how much of their caseload is couples. Min: EFT trainings, and 25-50% of their caseload.
2) If a counselor tells you what to do, find a new counselor. We do not decide what is best for you or your family. EFT is a truth exposing process that helps you express yourself and hear your partner allowing true healing to begin. It can also help you find the "Why" of your situation so you can make an educated decision.
