Couples Therapy in Denver
and Teletherapy Throughout Colorado
Has Something Shifted Between You And Your Partner?
Do you find yourselves drifting apart—even if nothing obvious has gone wrong?
Are conversations starting to feel tense, surface-level, or non-existent?
Do the same arguments keep popping up, leaving you both frustrated and unheard?
Perhaps it's hard to talk openly about your needs because every discussion seems to end in conflict. Or maybe, between work, parenting, financial stress, and the constant buzz of everyday life, it seems like you never have the time to simply be a couple.
You might love each other deeply, but feel like something is missing—connection, intimacy, aligned values, or just a sense that you have each other's back.
Even Without Major Conflict, Relationships Can Still Feel Lonely
Living in the Mile High City brings unique joys and challenges to relationships. Across the Denver metro area, between demanding careers and the constant pull of city life, many couples find themselves drifting apart despite loving each other deeply.
Although you may not be fighting all the time, perhaps an emotional distance has taken root, leaving you feeling more like roommates than partners. One of you may still be hurting from a breach of trust or struggling with past trauma that's affecting your relationship now.
Differences in parenting styles, personal interests, or expectations for intimacy might be pulling you each in different directions. Or maybe you're navigating a big transition—like blending families, changing careers, or deciding whether to grow your family—and it's starting to create strain.
With all of the stress, distractions, and conflict, you may worry that you're headed toward a breakup—but what if you're actually on the verge of a breakthrough? With the support of a compassionate, impartial couples therapist, it is possible to move through these challenges and rebuild something stronger together.
At Elevation Behavioral Therapy, we offer a safe, supportive space where couples can strengthen communication, restore connection, and get back to what brought them together in the first place. Our South Cherry Street location is conveniently accessible from Cherry Creek, Capitol Hill, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Real Relationships Don't Always Look Like A Fairytale
Even the strongest couples can slip into patterns of disconnection from time to time. We all come into relationships carrying unique histories—different communication styles, emotional wounds, and ideas of what love should look like. It's no wonder that misunderstandings happen. Disagreements, emotional distance, and unmet needs are a part of being human, not signs of failure—but modern culture doesn't do us any favors there.
Social media is packed with curated snapshots of joy: romantic getaways, grand gestures, perfectly filtered smiles. This illusion creates a dangerous comparison trap. When your relationship doesn't measure up to these polished images, it can feel like you're the only couple struggling. In truth, countless partners feel disconnected behind closed doors, even if they never show it. You're far from alone—with nearly 70,000 divorced residents and over 237,000 married couples in Denver, relationship challenges affect more people than you might realize.
Life Moves Fast—And Intimacy Often Takes a Backseat
Between demanding careers, endless to-do lists, and financial pressures, couples are often spread too thin to nurture their relationship. Add kids into the mix, and it becomes even harder to carve out time for connection, affection, or intimacy. The problem isn't always big arguments—it's that you're simply too exhausted to be fully present with each other.
That's where couples therapy comes in. Think of it as relationship maintenance—a dedicated space to reflect, reconnect, and strengthen your bond. What's more, research shows that couples therapy is remarkably effective. What's more, couples therapy really works—research shows that 70% of couples see real improvement in their relationships. Whether you're seeking a reset or simply a tune-up, counseling can help you return to each other with clarity, compassion, and renewed intention.
How Couples Therapy Creates A Safe, Supportive Space For Growth
When couples come to us, they've often already tried to fix things on their own—but find themselves circling the same unresolved issues. It's not because they aren't trying; it's because they're stuck in patterns that are hard to break without a new perspective. That's where couples therapy can make a real difference.
Rather than repeating the same conflict cycles, therapy invites both partners to step back and see things more clearly. It's a place where you can be vulnerable without judgment, express feelings that might otherwise go unsaid, and start building something new together. Whether you're navigating crisis or simply want to keep your connection strong, couples therapy offers the guidance and space to do so with intention.
At Elevation Behavioral Therapy, we welcome married and unmarried couples from throughout Colorado, including those in the LGBTQ+ community. You don't have to be at a breaking point to benefit from therapy. In fact, many couples come to us for a proactive check-in, a tune-up to strengthen their foundation before major problems arise.

What To Expect When Working With Our Denver Couples Therapists
We'll begin with a joint session to explore your collective perspective on things and identify your goals as a couple. We'll follow that up by meeting individually with each partner, allowing us to better understand your experiences and concerns from your personal point of view. Then, we'll reunite you with your partner so you can continue working together as a team.
From there, sessions typically last 60 to 75 minutes, with flexible scheduling options to meet your needs.
In sessions, we can explore communication styles, emotional safety, conflict dynamics, and intimacy. Together with your therapist, you'll set meaningful short and long-term goals that support mutual growth, trust, and deeper understanding.
As part of the process, we'll also look at your attachment styles and love languages—tools that help both partners recognize how they give and receive love differently. Through these insights, therapy helps you reconnect with each other in a more meaningful and compassionate way.

Our Couples Counseling Approach Is Tailored To Your Relationship
No two relationships are the same—so our approach isn't either. Think of therapy as a flexible toolkit designed to support your relationship, not change who you are.
At Elevation Behavioral Therapy, we customize our work to fit your unique dynamic, drawing from several evidence-based methods that support connection, repair, and emotional resilience:
The Gottman Method
This approach helps you assess strengths and challenges in your relationship, strengthen emotional intimacy, and improve communication. It fosters mutual appreciation and deeper understanding of each partner's inner world.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
The goal of IFS is to help uncover the "parts" of you that may influence how you function—such as fear, mistrust, or old emotional wounds—so you can move forward without being controlled by the past.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
This approach equips you with practical tools for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and improving relationship interactions. It's especially helpful for reducing reactivity and creating calm in the face of conflict.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The goal of CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns that may be impacting your relationship. Together, we work to shift these patterns and replace negative thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with healthier, more constructive perspectives.
With Support, Healing And Connection Are Within Reach
Whether you're navigating the unique stressors of city life or simply seeking to strengthen your bond, couples therapy in Denver with Elevation Behavioral Therapy is designed to meet you where you are.
Whether you're trying to rebuild after a crisis or simply want to feel close again, couples therapy offers a safe, empowering space to do the work together. With the right support, many couples find not only resolution, but renewal.
