Couples Counseling
Even strong relationships can slide into a pattern that repeats the same fight. When conversations escalate or shut down, everything else stalls. Couples counseling at Crossroads slows the cycle, helps each partner feel heard, and teaches repair so communication shifts from gridlock to collaboration. Sessions are available in person at our Lexington office, convenient to Columbia, West Columbia, Cayce and Irmo, and by secure telehealth anywhere in South Carolina when privacy and focus work well at home.
Take the first steps back to each other.

How We Treat Couples
We draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy to strengthen attachment and from Gottman-informed skills for de-escalation, repair and conflict-safe communication. After a breach, we stabilize first with safety, boundaries and transparency, then work toward accountability and rebuilding trust. We teach brief at-home practices—such as time-outs, repair attempts and rituals of connection—so progress shows up between sessions. If faith is central for you, we can integrate it by request in a respectful, client-led way.
Couples Sessions At Crossroads
We begin with a joint intake to map the pattern and set clear goals. Brief individual check-ins may occur when helpful, but the primary work returns to the bond. Most couples start with weekly sessions to build momentum, then taper as repair skills become routine. Expect fewer blowups, quicker recovery, clearer teamwork and renewed closeness.
