Couples Therapy
Couples Therapy in Columbus, GA
Every couple hits rough patches. But when the same arguments keep cycling, when connection has faded, or when trust has been broken — that’s when it helps to have a skilled, neutral guide in the room.
At Adapt Counseling, our couples therapist Erin Harkey, LMSW uses the Gottman Method — one of the most extensively researched approaches to relationship therapy available — to help couples understand what’s actually happening between them, and build something better.
What Is the Gottman Method?
Developed over 40 years of research with thousands of couples, the Gottman Method helps partners identify destructive patterns (criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling) and replace them with practical skills for communication, connection, and conflict resolution. It’s structured, evidence-based, and designed to produce real, lasting change — not just better conversations in the therapy room.
Who Is Couples Therapy For?
- Couples feeling more like roommates than partners
- Partners stuck in the same arguments with no resolution
- Couples rebuilding trust after betrayal or a major life change
- Newlyweds or engaged couples wanting tools before problems arise
- Military couples navigating deployment, reintegration, or relocation stress
What to Expect
Erin begins with a thorough assessment to understand each partner’s experience, strengths, and goals. From there, sessions are practical and skills-focused — you’ll leave each one with something concrete to work with.
For couples with demanding schedules or those in crisis, weekend and extended sessions are available. Please call or email for availability and pricing.
