At Sol Counseling & Wellness Studio, we offer compassionate, research-based couples therapy in Solana Beach for couples looking to grow, repair, or reconnect. Whether you’re navigating conflict, trust issues, emotional disconnection, or simply want to strengthen your partnership, our licensed marriage and family therapists are here to help.
We specialize in marriage counseling, relationship therapy, and premarital counseling for couples across North County San Diego, including Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, and surrounding areas.
What Is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy is a collaborative process where you and your partner work with a trained therapist to explore communication patterns, resolve conflict, and build emotional intimacy. It’s not about assigning blame—it’s about understanding each other on a deeper level and learning to respond instead of react.
At Sol, we work with:
Married and long-term couples
Engaged or dating partners
LGBTQ+ couples
Co-parents and blended families
Couples in recovery or navigating life transitions
What to Expect from Couples Therapy Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes (longer formats available) and may include:
Exploring recurring arguments or stuck patterns
Learning healthy communication skills
Healing after betrayal or infidelity
Deepening emotional connection and physical intimacy
Understanding each partner’s needs and attachment styles
Rebuilding trust and safety
Your therapist may also meet with each of you individually as needed to support the process.
