Couples and Marriage Counseling
Strengthen your connection and navigate challenges together. At Cheri Locke Counseling and Consulting, I provide evidence-based support to improve communication, rebuild trust, and create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
deepen the bond between you and your partner and increase satisfaction
In the beginning everything seemed perfect. Now you feel emotionally and physically disconnected, lonely, and confused. The truth is you have managed to hide the heartbreak and despair that someone who is experiencing the unraveling of a relationship would understand. This is not what you envisioned and, honestly, you’re not sure if you can go on like this.
Many couples go through periods of hardship and confusion – after all, life is unpredictable. Of course, you never anticipate you’ll endure hardship that puts your relationship to the test. Unfortunately, sometimes this is unavoidable; drastic life changes may occur that can throw a wrench in your once happy relationship. Other times, life just happens and before you know it you are staring at the other person wondering where the passion went.
Do you want more harmony in your relationship, to feel better about yourself, and have more peace of mind? Do you sit across from your partner thinking
What happened to us?
Can we be happier?
Is there hope for my relationship?
Can we reconnect?
Imagine having a relationship that brings both you and your partner happiness and satisfaction. Imagine a marriage where you feel closer than you have before and gone are the days of loneliness and resentment. Your relationship can thrive! No matter how hopeless it seems, couples and marriage counseling can help you transform your relationship and increase emotional and physical intimacy.
