Couples therapy at Lotus Therapy is designed for partners who feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in painful patterns they don’t know how to break.

You might love each other and still feel like you can’t get it right.

That’s where we come in.

What We Help With:

  • Repeated arguments that go nowhere

  • Emotional distance or disconnection

  • Rebuilding after infidelity or betrayal

  • Communication breakdowns

  • Feeling unheard, unseen, or misunderstood

We don’t just teach communication tools, we help you understand the cycle you’re stuck in and how to move out of it together.

Our work is:

  • Structured, but not rigid

  • Deep, but paced safely

  • Focused on real, lasting change

1.5 hours is recommended for couples during the initial intake. During this time we will discuss goals and expectations. Based on your goals as a couple, we will begin collaborating and discussing what treatment will look like moving forward.

Please contact Crystin for scheduling a focused couples intensive or a private couples intensive (813)-421-3040.

Reach out with any questions!

Couples Therapy

Our Couples Therapy Process

We take a structured and intentional approach to couples therapy, designed to help us understand your relationship more fully before moving into deeper work together.

Step 1: Initial Couples Session

We begin with a 50-minute session together (additional time can be added) to understand what’s bringing you in, your current challenges, and what you’re hoping to create in your relationship.

This first session allows us to begin identifying patterns and setting a foundation for our work together.

Step 2: Relationship Assessment

Following your initial session, you’ll be invited to complete a comprehensive relationship assessment through the Gottman Assessment.

This research-based tool helps provide deeper insight into your relationship dynamics, strengths, and areas for growth.

Assessment Fee: $39 Total (one-time fee)

Step 3: Individual Sessions

After completing the assessment, we will meet individually with each partner for one session.

These sessions allow space to:

  • Explore personal history and relationship experiences

  • Understand individual perspectives more fully

  • Review and process your assessment results

These are an important part of the couples process and help guide our work moving forward.

Step 4: Ongoing Couples Sessions

From there, we return to working together as a couple.

In our sessions, we focus on:

  • Understanding and shifting relational patterns

  • Improving communication and emotional connection

  • Rebuilding trust and strengthening your relationship

  • Working toward your goals

The goal is not just to resolve surface-level issues, but to create meaningful and lasting change in how you experience one another.

A Thoughtful, Structured Approach

This process allows us to move beyond surface-level conversations and into a deeper understanding of your relationship so that the work we do together is focused, intentional, and effective.
