Couples Therapy in Wylie, TX

Support for Dating, Engaged, and Married Couples

Relationships aren’t always easy — and that’s okay. Couples therapy is a proactive, effective way to create meaningful change and reconnect with your partner. At Mud Hook Mental Health, we help couples across Wylie and the Northeast Dallas area identify unhelpful patterns and build stronger, more supportive partnerships.

Whether you’re facing ongoing conflict or simply want to strengthen your bond, it’s never too early (or too late) to invest in your relationship. In fact, research shows couples often wait an average of six years in distress before seeking therapy. Let’s change that.

Do You Need Couples Therapy?

You and your partner might benefit from couples counseling if:

You argue frequently over parenting, money, sex, chores, or social media
You keep having the same fights without resolution
Trust has been broken or feels fragile
A major life event (marriage, having a baby, career shift, loss, or illness) changed your connection
The relationship feels filled with criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, or resentment
You feel stuck — like nothing you try is making things better
You’re doing “okay,” but you want a relationship check-up to prevent future issues

Commonly Asked Questions About Couples Therapy

The most effective types of therapy for couples are typically Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and working with a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). These approaches are especially helpful for concerns like improving communication, rebuilding trust, and healing after infidelity.
That said, the best fit ultimately depends on your specific needs. In some cases, a therapist with a different specialty may be a better match — and we’re here to help guide you to the right provider for your relationship.
In many cases, couples or marriage counseling isn’t covered by standard health insurance plans. However, some Employer Assistance Programs (EAPs) do offer short-term coverage for couples therapy.
The best way to find out is to check with your insurance provider or HR/benefits manager. They can tell you what’s included in your plan and if couples therapy is eligible for reimbursement.

Our Approach to Couples Counseling

We use research-backed methods, including:

The Gottman Method
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
