Center For Couples Counseling

Center For Couples Counseling We are a team of highly trained therapists specializing in couples and individual therapy, infertili Therapy can help.

We all face challenges in life and get into situations where it feels as though there's no way out. You may be dealing with relationship distress, difficult transitions, grieving a loss, struggling with infertility, or transitioning into parenthood. Therapy is a place where you can talk openly, find support, and gain coping skills for dealing with life in a more effective way. Every small step you take can make a big impact on your life. Making the decision to go to therapy is not an easy one. You may feel scared to talk to a stranger, or wonder how someone else can help you with your problems. Many people believe they will be labeled as "crazy." What's so crazy about wanting to feel better? I will work with you in a nonjudgmental and respectful way, broaden your ideas and perspectives, challenge your thinking and relationship patterns, and empower you to make lasting changes in your life. I will be there to keep you motivated and accountable. If you are contemplating therapy or working with me, please take a look at my website, erikalabuzanlopeztherapy.com. My website will provide you with more information about me, my therapeutic style and approach, as well as frequently asked questions and answers. I offer free 20 minute phone consultations as well. Please call me at (832) 827-3288 so that we can discuss more about your needs, goals, and what you are looking for in a therapist.

Valentine's Day is quickly upon us, and while many people have the date circled on the calendar with dates and plans, there are also couples who don't find it all that important. I find that no matter how you choose to celebrate your love, it is important to be intentional in your expressions and acknowledgment of love. While a big heart filled celebration can be wonderful once a year, there's power in small actions everyday as well. Check out Anterris's out of the box take on couples who don't prioritize a one day holiday but choose to look it differently.

Are you or your partner putting pressure on Valentine's Day? Are you attached to the specific date? Do you and your partner prefer to celebrate differently from each other or not at all?

You'll probably heard the mantra "Progress over perfection" and likely said it to yourself a time or two to get unstuck; as a recovering perfectionist I've been grateful to utilize it when necessary. But have you applied this idea to your relationship? At the start of the New Year, or when couples first come to therapy, it feels enticing or motivating to create big goals and change everything, which can be great but is often unsustainable. I'm all for radical change, but let's not overlook the power of small wins and making steady progress, because that creates lasting connection!

Many couples enter the new year hoping for fewer emotions and less conflict — but that’s not how connection grows. Real intimacy comes from making space for uncomfortable emotions, not pushing them away or trying to “stay positive” at all costs. When emotions like anger, sadness, or fear are treated as problems, couples often end up feeling misunderstood or disconnected. Our latest blog explores why there’s no such thing as negative emotions, only comfortable and uncomfortable ones. Learn how emotional permission can create safety, honesty, and deeper connection in your relationship. Please like and share to help our free relationship resources reach more people!

Love and connection are more than emotional concepts, they're scientifically based as well. Hormones occur and impact behaviors, thoughts, and emotions over the course of relationships, and it's truly fascinating to understand how these hormones interact in our own bodies and brains, and their influence on how we conduct ourselves in our relationships. Therapist Sky provides information and helpful tips on how to manage your interpretations and relationship behaviors given you've got a new set of love drugs in your system.

We know the holidays can be fun filled, full of laughter and joy, and a favorite time of the year AND it can be anxiety provoking, prescriptive, and overwhelming. All of those things can exist at the same time, and almost every client over the decade plus I've been doing this work has come in with some kind of stress related to the holidays, expectations, scheduling, and family/relationship issues this time of the year. Check out this week's blog for some practical tips for communicating about this stress and coming up with a plan with your partner to make things go smoothly and merrily!

People often review their goals and evaluate progress around this time of the year, but when's the last time you reviewed your relationship? Dr. John Delony recommends doing a relationship retreat to review the previous year and plan for the year coming up-all specifically in regards to creating the marriage/relationship that you really want. I've personally done this with my husband and found it immensely helpful. Check out this week's blog to help you get started by asking 10 reflective questions and gaining some insight on what's working and not working in your marriage, which will guide your relationship goals for next year.

Hosting any event can be stressful, but especially when you or someone you love is neurodiverse and has needs that are different than the rest of your guests.

We hear A LOT about family holiday events in our office as we move through November and December. The holidays not only bring up things for individuals, but relational injuries from years ago often resurface as people remember their pie being rejected or the passive aggressive comments flying around about their parenting. While many people have figured out how to navigate family events or created their own new way to operate during the holidays, couples still tend to struggle with how they will tackle this time of the year as a team. Check out this week's blog for practical strategies on how to work together to survive (or maybe thrive) the upcoming holiday!

It's officially the season of gratitude! AND, sometimes it's hard to feel grateful. It can be performative, inauthentic, or feel dismissive, especially when there's serious stuff happening that feels heavy and that you're not at all grateful for. I'm challenging you this week to not "just be grateful" at the cost of ignoring your real feelings, but instead making space to notice what's good while still naming what's hard.

While sometimes cutting someone off or ending a relationship is the best decision, people often move to cut off so quickly that they haven't created space for their own healing in the process. Harm occurs when cut off is chosen too hastily. In most circumstances, it's worth making adjustments and believing change is possible not only to see if operating relationally works but to see if you can heal by not staying in an all-or-nothing, fight-or-flight state at all times.
