Relationship Counseling for Connection, Communication & Growth

Relationships take work—and sometimes that work requires support. At Mind Body Co-op, we offer couples therapy in Chicago to help partners reconnect, communicate more clearly, and resolve conflict with compassion. Whether you’re navigating a crisis or seeking to grow stronger together, our licensed couples therapists are here to guide you toward healing and deeper understanding.

We offer in-person sessions in Lakeview and the Loop, as well as virtual therapy for couples across Illinois.


Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

  • “We keep having the same fight over and over again.”

  • “We feel more like roommates than romantic partners.”

  • “We’ve been hurt by infidelity or broken trust.”

  • “We love each other, but we’re drifting apart.”

  • “We want to feel closer but don’t know how.”

If these challenges resonate with you, you’re not alone. At Mind Body Co-op, couples therapy provides a safe and neutral space to explore what’s not working—and what’s possible.


What We Help With

Couples come to therapy for many reasons, including:

  • Communication breakdowns

  • Emotional disconnection

  • Infidelity or betrayal

  • Intimacy and sexual concerns

  • Premarital preparation

  • Life transitions (career changes, parenting, retirement)

  • Support for blended families and parenting differences

  • Cultural, religious, or extended family conflicts

  • Addiction and recovery support

  • Chronic illness or mental health challenges

Our therapists tailor sessions to meet your unique needs and relationship dynamics, including LGBTQIA+ affirming and poly-inclusive care.


What You’ll Learn in Couples Therapy

  • Tools to de-escalate conflict and communicate with empathy

  • Skills for building emotional safety and deep listening

  • Techniques to rebuild trust and intimacy

  • Strategies for managing differences with respect and care

We draw from evidence-based models such as Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Relational Life Therapy (RLT) to support lasting change—not just surface-level solutions.
