You\u2019ve been trying for a long time to change things. You\u2019ve probably talked to friends and doctors, listened to podcasts, read books, and more. Maybe things change temporarily, but they keep reverting back to the way they were. The truth is you need professional help, someone who knows what it takes to help you create the relationships and life you\u2019re wanting. But, how do you find an expert couples counselor who you can genuinely connect with?<\/p>\n

At True Connection Counseling in Idaho Falls, all of our therapists specialize in couples counseling. Finding the right therapist can be difficult and many couples we meet have tried multiple other therapists before finally coming to us. We hear time and time again how seeing someone who specializes in couples counseling is what they needed all along. Our approach focuses on helping you identify the roots underlying your issues and teaching you how to experience deep connection in your relationships. Our clinicians offer expertise in couples counseling by receiving training in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (the gold-standard model for couples counseling), advanced trainings in couple counseling, and focused experience in working with couples.<\/p>\n

When looking for a couples counseling you want an approach that is not only compassionate but also is proven to be effective. Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy has become the gold-standard for couples counseling and the most updated research shows that 90% of couples significantly improve and 70% resolve their issues completely<\/strong> (Spengler et al., 2024). These improvements have also been shown to last over time.<\/p>\n

As couples counselors we are highly trained in the Emotion-Focused Therapy model. EFT is built on the science of adult attachment, which recognizes that humans are innately wired to seek secure connection with their partners. When that connection is threatened, it can trigger cycles of conflict, distance, and distress. Our role is to help you identify the underlying reasons why your relationship is struggling, and to not only help you repair your attachment bond, but also deepen it. Couples counseling with us is more than just communication skills, it\u2019s about transforming your level of intimacy.<\/p>\n

Client outcomes vary greatly between therapists and most therapists peak only 2 years after graduate school, meaning their client\u2019s outcomes do not improve as they gain more experience (Germer et al., 2022). However, at True Connection Counseling we strive for excellence by implementing the following practices shown to separate the most effective therapists from the average.<\/p>\n
