Relationships are an essential part of our lives; they provide us with love, support, and companionship.

Our trained staff is available to guide you and your relationship back on the road to growth and healing, whether you are working on long-standing problems or more recent ones.

What Is Couples Therapy in NJ?
Couples therapy is a type of counseling for couples to work on their relationship. Facilitated by a trained therapist, couples counseling aims to identify issues and work together to foster communication and create meaningful solutions.
Sessions focus on teaching partners to understand the relationship, work through conflicts in a healthy way, and build deeper emotional connections. At Horizon Healing Centers, couples therapy in NJ is tailored to your relationship, whether you’re dating, married, or co-parenting.

Insurance Can Help Cover Up to 100%
We work with most major insurance plans, specifically PPO & POS insurance policies which will help cover up to 100% of the costs associated with treatment.
Couples therapy isn’t just for couples on the brink of separation or divorce. It is for anyone looking to strengthen their partnership, improve communication, or resolve conflicts.
Common participants include:
All relationships—regardless of their stage or challenges—can benefit from professional support to restore harmony and forge deeper bonds.
Every relationship faces challenges from time to time; the first step to overcoming them is acknowledging they exist. At Horizon Healing Centers, we can help couples in New Jersey explore a range of issues, including:
Relationships often falter because of poor communication. Therapy can help partners learn to listen and express themselves better, giving them the tools they need to feel understood and cared for in their relationship.
The emotional and practical work that goes into recovering from an affair can be a challenging process. Therapy is a place where couples can feel safe working through their emotions, rebuilding trust, and ultimately deciding on the direction of their relationship.
Repeated arguments or feelings of emotional disconnect can make partners feel alone in their relationship. Couples therapy helps people understand the root causes of their issues, move through them in a healthy way, and rebuild their intimacy.
Periods of significant change can cause tension between partners. For example, moving, financial stress, or family building can all lead to issues if not managed healthily. In therapy, couples can find the skills they need to overcome these transitions together.
Sometimes people in a relationship face co-occurring challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. These can significantly impact the relationship if not managed effectively. Couples counseling can help people address these issues together.
Horizon Healing Centers offers couples therapy in NJ based on research-backed techniques to address the various needs of partners in a relationship.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) enhances emotional connection and promotes secure attachment in a relationship. Couples engage in interventions that help them reshape negative interactions and build stronger emotional bonds.
The Gottman Method
A practical and structured approach to improving communication, resolving conflict, and cultivating deeper levels of love and respect in relationships. The Gottman Method, based on decades of research, fosters empathy and helps develop shared goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Couples
CBT for couples therapy identifies negative thought patterns and behaviors that may lead to misunderstandings. The goal is to build healthy communication, reduce blame, and practice positive reframing.
Trauma-Informed Care for Relationships
Trauma history in one or both partners can affect the relationship. Trauma-informed care creates safety, understanding, and healing by addressing these underlying factors.
Tailored to each unique relationship, these approaches enable Horizon Healing Centers to provide compassionate, effective couples therapy in NJ and support partners in building healthier, more connected relationships.
Every relationship is different, which is why NJ couples therapy services are available at different levels of care. Here is a summary of each option.
Outpatient Therapy
Outpatient couples counseling allows partners to attend therapy as their schedules allow. Weekly or biweekly sessions are set up to provide ongoing support and healing for a relationship. This level of care is a great choice when learning to work through conflict, and improving the relationship is a primary goal.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)
When an unhealthy or harmful relationship is on the verge of collapse, or there is a need for more in-depth work on underlying issues, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) may be the right choice. An IOP is more structured and offers more therapy hours than outpatient care.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)
Co-occurring mental health issues or when high intensity conflict is affecting your day-to-day life, a PHP can provide the necessary healing. With a PHP, you receive intensive support from a multidisciplinary care team and participate in daily therapy and recovery activities.
