At The Couples Therapy and Reunification Counseling, we know what it’s like when relationships feel stuck.
You’re tired of having the same arguments with no resolution.
You long to feel safe opening up, but every conversation leaves you more exhausted and distant.
Maybe you've tried therapy before—but it felt like the therapist took sides, or you spent the whole time venting without finding real solutions.

Through couples therapy in Montebello, CA, we help partners across Los Angeles and Orange County break painful cycles, rebuild trust, and create a stronger, more connected future together.

Here’s what we most often help couples work through:

Communication Breakdowns

  • You want to feel heard—but the same fights keep looping without understanding. We teach practical tools to help you express your needs, listen with openness, and finally get unstuck.

Trust Issues and Infidelity

  • Maybe you're struggling to rebuild trust after betrayal. Maybe doubt has crept in quietly over time. In therapy, we create a neutral space to heal wounds, rebuild safety, and move toward trust you can rely on.

Emotional and Physical Disconnection

  • Intimacy feels distant. Conversations stay surface-level. The spark that once connected you feels faded.
    We help couples reconnect emotionally and physically—so you don’t have to settle for a relationship that feels lonely.

  • Parenting and Co-Parenting Conflict
    Disagreements about parenting—or tension in co-parenting after separation—can easily fracture connection. Through therapy, we help align your approaches, reduce power struggles, and create a healthier family dynamic.

Premarital Counseling for Deeper Foundations

  • Before you say "I do," premarital counseling in Montebello and Orange County helps you talk through expectations, communication styles, conflict patterns, and shared dreams—so you start marriage stronger.

Reunification Therapy for Healing Estrangement

  • If your family has been fractured by divorce, conflict, or alienation, reunification therapy provides a supportive path to rebuild relationships with compassion, patience, and guidance.

Navigating Major Life Changes Together

  • Life transitions—career shifts, moving, new parenthood, loss—can shake even stable relationships. We help couples in Montebello and the Los Angeles area weather these changes side-by-side, building resilience and deeper trust.

You don’t have to keep repeating the same painful patterns.
You deserve a relationship where you feel seen, safe, and connected.

Let’s start building it together.

“Maria has guided my fiancé and I through premarital counseling. Her empathetic approach and cultural awareness have supported us through exploring different familial dynamics and better equip us with tools to help us through our marriage.”

“We were at a breaking point—barely speaking, constantly arguing, and feeling more like roommates than partners. Therapy helped us truly hear each other for the first time in years. It gave us the tools to communicate, understand our triggers, and rebuild the love we thought was lost. Now, our marriage is stronger than ever, and we’re actually excited about our future together."

Our Approach to Couples Therapy in Montebello, Los Angeles, and Orange County

At The Couples Therapy and Reunification Counseling, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every relationship is unique—so the path to healing should be too.
We draw from evidence-based techniques to create a therapy experience tailored to you and your partner’s needs, history, and goals.

Here’s a look at some of the approaches we use in couples therapy and marriage counseling in Montebello, CA:

Gottman Method for Couples

Grounded in decades of research, the Gottman Method focuses on strengthening friendship, improving communication, and building lasting intimacy. Using the Sound Relationship House Theory, we help couples improve verbal communication, increase emotional closeness, resolve conflict, and create shared meaning in their relationship.

Attachment-Based Couples Therapy

Many of the struggles couples face today are rooted in early attachment experiences.
Through attachment-focused therapy, we explore how past wounds impact current relationship patterns—and help you build emotional security, healthier boundaries, and deeper trust with each other.

Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT helps couples move beyond surface-level arguments and address the deeper emotional needs underneath. By identifying stuck patterns, expressing core emotions safely, and strengthening emotional bonds, EFT guides couples toward healing attachment injuries and rebuilding stronger, more connected partnerships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) For Couples

In couples therapy across Montebello and Los Angeles, we use CBT techniques to improve emotional regulation, problem-solving skills, and more productive communication between partners.

No matter which techniques we draw from, our goal remains the same:
To help you and your partner feel safer, closer, and stronger together.

Frequently Asked Questions About Couples Therapy

  • It’s common for one partner to feel more hesitant about therapy than the other.


    We get it—opening up about your relationship can feel vulnerable.
    At The Couples Therapy and Reunification Counseling, we meet both partners where they are.
    If only one of you is ready to start, that's okay—you can still begin the process.


    Often, once one person starts making small shifts, it creates enough movement for the other partner to feel more open to joining later.

  • No. Our role isn’t to judge or decide who’s "right" or "wrong."


    We are here to hold a neutral, supportive space where both partners feel heard, respected, and safe.


    Our therapists focus on helping you both understand the patterns that are keeping you stuck—and work together to break those patterns so you can rebuild connection, not resentment.

  • Yes—and that's exactly what we specialize in.


    Those repetitive arguments aren't about "the fight"—they're usually about deeper emotional needs not being met.


    Through couples therapy in Montebello and Los Angeles, we help you get underneath the surface of the conflict, understand what’s really happening emotionally, and give you tools to reconnect, not just rehash old wounds.

  • Every relationship is different, and healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey.

    Some couples see major shifts in just a few months; others choose to continue therapy longer to deepen their connection even further.
    During your first few sessions, we’ll collaborate on clear goals together—so you always know what we’re working toward and how we’re measuring progress.


    Our goal is not to keep you in therapy forever—our goal is to help you build the tools, trust, and resilience you need for lasting change.
