Couples Therapy

for Parents
or Family Planning

  • “Things haven’t been the same between us since the baby. I feel like we’ve lost sight of who we are since having kids.”

  • “We fight—about who does what and how things should be and sometimes it feels like the same fight and we don’t get anywhere.”

  • “Sex is not what it used to be, and I don’t know how to begin to change that.”

  • “We’re thinking about having a baby but we want to make sure our relationship is solid before we do.”

If this sounds familiar to you, you may have felt the impact of family planning and/or parenting on your relationship. These are big life changes that have lasting impact.

Based in Austin, TX, our couples therapy at Belonging Counseling focuses on working with parents to create a nonjudgemental, supportive space where partners can work through challenges together.

With the help of a relationship expert, you can improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen your bond. We specialize working with folks who are planning for kids or already parents.
