Couples Counseling in Billerica & Lexington, MA

Helping couples reconnect, repair, and grow together.

Every relationship has ups and downs. You may love your partner deeply and still struggle with communication, feel disconnected, or find yourselves repeating the same arguments. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or simply want to strengthen your relationship, couples counseling can provide a supportive space to work through it—together.

At Blue Square Counseling, we offer compassionate, collaborative couples therapy to help you improve communication, rebuild trust, and feel more connected to one another. Whether you're in crisis or just want to grow closer, you're not alone—and change is possible.

Is Couples Counseling Right for Us?

You don't need to be on the verge of breaking up to seek couples therapy. In fact, many couples benefit from counseling even when things seem mostly "fine." Therapy provides the opportunity to slow down and talk about the things that often go unsaid.

You might consider couples counseling if:

  • Communication often leads to arguments or misunderstandings

  • One or both of you feels emotionally distant or disconnected

  • You’re dealing with the aftermath of a betrayal or breach of trust

  • Physical or emotional intimacy has declined

  • You’re struggling to navigate parenting or blended family dynamics

  • One partner is facing a mental health challenge that impacts the relationship

  • You feel stuck in unhelpful patterns and want to make a change

  • You want to strengthen your relationship proactively

No matter where you're starting from, couples therapy can help you understand each other more deeply and find new ways to connect.

What to Expect in Couples Therapy

Couples counseling isn’t about assigning blame or declaring one person “right” and the other “wrong.” Instead, we help both partners:

  • Feel heard, seen, and respected in the therapy space

  • Identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck

  • Improve communication and listening skills

  • Learn to express needs and emotions more effectively

  • Rebuild trust and connection

  • Navigate disagreements with more compassion and less reactivity

We take a strengths-based, nonjudgmental approach. Even if you’re in a difficult place right now, we’ll help you hold onto the possibility of growth.

Common Challenges We Help Couples Address

Every couple is unique, but many of the issues we help with are surprisingly common. These include:

  • Communication breakdowns

  • Conflict resolution struggles

  • Loss of intimacy (physical or emotional)

  • Infidelity or broken trust

  • Parenting disagreements

  • Financial stress or differing values

  • Life transitions (relocation, illness, job changes, retirement)

  • Interfaith or intercultural dynamics

  • Relationship ambivalence ("Should we stay together?")

Whether you've been together for a year or several decades, therapy can support you in rediscovering what brought you together and building something even stronger.

Our Approach to Couples Counseling

At Blue Square Counseling, we understand that being in a relationship can be both rewarding and incredibly challenging. Our therapists draw from evidence-based approaches such as:

  • The Gottman Method

  • Imago Relationship Therapy

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Internal Family Systems-informed couples work

We tailor our approach to the needs, values, and personalities of each couple. Our goal is to help you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and supported enough to try something new.

In some cases, couples counseling may include individual sessions to help each partner better understand their own patterns and triggers. We’ll always discuss this with you ahead of time if it feels clinically appropriate.

Couples Counseling for All Types of Relationships

We are LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome couples of all identities, ages, and backgrounds. Whether you're dating, engaged, married, polyamorous, or somewhere in between, you deserve respectful, inclusive support.

Our therapists work with:

  • Heterosexual couples

  • LGBTQIA+ couples

  • Interracial or intercultural partnerships

  • Young couples just starting out

  • Long-term partners navigating new challenges

No matter your story, your relationship matters—and we’re here to help it thrive.

You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

It’s easy to fall into patterns where both partners feel like they’re trying, but nothing’s improving. Therapy gives you a different way forward. We’re not here to take sides—we’re here to help you both get what you need from your relationship.

Couples therapy is a chance to pause, reflect, and rebuild—whether you're repairing hurt, reigniting connection, or preparing for a future together.
