Relationship Therapy · Chicago
For the patterns you keep finding yourselves inside.
Relationship therapy can help you move beyond the same argument, the same silence, or the same uncertainty. At Ashé Counseling & Coaching, we support couples and individuals who want more honesty, steadiness, and connection in the relationships that matter most.
In-person relationship therapy in River North and Logan Square. Virtual sessions available across Illinois.
When connection feels harder
You can care deeply and still feel stuck.
Relationship distress does not always look dramatic. Sometimes it is the slow accumulation of misunderstood needs, defensive conversations, uneven emotional labor, old injuries, or a growing sense that you are living beside one another instead of with one another.
Relationship therapy in Chicago can support partners working through conflict, communication breakdowns, trust concerns, intimacy changes, major transitions, and questions about the future. It can also support individuals who want to understand their attachment style, strengthen boundaries, reduce relationship anxiety, or change repeated dating patterns.
Our therapists approach relationships with curiosity rather than blame. Together, we identify what keeps the pattern going, what each person is protecting, and what needs to become clearer for change to last.

Relationship therapy, explained clearly.
Helpful answers for people considering couples counseling or individual support for relationship concerns.
What is relationship therapy?
Relationship therapy helps individuals and partners understand recurring patterns, communicate more clearly, repair trust, navigate conflict, and build healthier ways of relating. Sessions may focus on a current partnership or on the relationship patterns one person carries across dating, family, and intimate relationships.
Do we have to be married to attend?
No. Relationship therapy can support dating partners, engaged couples, married couples, long-term partners, and people in many different relationship structures. Premarital counseling is also available for couples preparing for marriage or long-term commitment.
Can I come without my partner?
Yes. Individual relationship therapy can help you explore attachment, boundaries, communication, dating patterns, relationship anxiety, and decisions about a current relationship, even when your partner does not attend.
Can therapy help after infidelity or betrayal?
Therapy can provide structure for processing the impact of betrayal, clarifying questions and needs, rebuilding emotional safety, and deciding whether and how the relationship can move forward. Therapy cannot guarantee reconciliation, but it can support a more honest and intentional process.
What happens in the first session?
Your therapist will learn what brings you to therapy, how the current concern developed, what each person hopes will change, and what patterns tend to repeat. Together, you will begin identifying priorities and determining a useful direction for treatment.
Where do you offer relationship therapy in Chicago?
Ashé Counseling & Coaching offers in-person therapy in River North and Logan Square. Virtual relationship therapy is also available for clients located throughout Illinois, depending on clinician availability.
Do you accept insurance?
Ashé Counseling & Coaching is insurance friendly. Coverage for couples or relationship therapy can vary by plan, therapist, diagnosis, and service type, so benefits should be verified before beginning care.
