Couples Counseling & Marriage Therapy in Arvada
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Distance Alone
At 70 West Counseling, we know that emotional drift can happen slowly until you suddenly feel miles apart from the person you love. However, you don’t have to navigate this distance alone. We provide specialized couples counseling in Arvada designed to bridge that gap and restore your connection. Whether you are stuck in a cycle of silence or recovering from a betrayal, our evidence-based approach helps you rebuild trust, improve communication, and find your way back to being partners, not just roommates.
Relationship Struggles: From ‘Soulmates’ to ‘Roommates’
Relationships go through seasons, but sometimes a cold season lasts too long. You might love your partner, but you don’t like the way you interact right now.
Do any of these sound familiar?
- The Silent Treatment: Days go by with only logistical talk (“Did you feed the dog?”) and zero emotional connection.
- The Same Old Fight: You argue about the dishes, but it’s really about feeling unappreciated or unheard—and it never gets resolved.
- Walking on Eggshells: You avoid bringing up certain topics because you are afraid it will trigger a blowout.
- Drifting Apart: You feel lonely even when you are sitting right next to each other.
You aren’t “bad” partners. You are likely just stuck in a negative cycle of communication. We help you break that cycle.
Our Neutral Approach to Couples Therapy
The Relationship is the Client.
One of the biggest fears people have about couples therapy is, “The therapist is going to team up with my partner and blame me.”
That is not how we work. We view your relationship as the client. Our job is not to decide who is “right” or “wrong.” Our job is to identify the patterns causing the disconnect and give you the tools to change them. We create a neutral, safe environment where both partners feel heard, validated, and respected.
Treating Infidelity, Communication Issues & Trust
Communication & Conflict
Stop keeping score. We teach you how to fight fair, listen without defensiveness, and express needs in a way your partner can actually hear.
Trust & Infidelity Recovery
When trust is broken (whether through an affair or hidden secrets), the road back is steep—but not impossible. We guide you through the fragile process of repair, accountability, and forgiveness.
Military & First Responder Couples
Deployment, reintegration, and high-stress shifts create unique pressures on a marriage. We help you navigate the “revolving door” of service life, managing the anxiety of separation and the adjustment of coming home.
Parenthood & Transitions
From the sleep deprivation of a new baby to the grief of an empty nest, transitions often shake the foundation of a marriage. We help you find your footing as a team again.
You plan for the wedding, but are you planning for the marriage?
Pre-Marital Counseling
Helps you have the hard conversations before you say “I do.” We explore finances, family dynamics, and expectations to build a solid foundation that lasts.
FAQ
Is it too late for us?
If you are both willing to walk through the door, there is hope. Many couples wait an average of 6 years after problems start to seek help. While earlier is better, we have seen couples recover from deep resentment and rebuild a relationship stronger than before.
Do we have to be married?
No. We treat dating, engaged, and married couples, as well as those in long-term partnerships.
Can we use insurance?
It depends. Most insurance plans (including TriCare) require one partner to have a “medical necessity” diagnosis (like anxiety or adjustment disorder) for couples therapy to be covered. We can discuss how this works and what your options are during your intake.
