Couples Therapy Built for Maryland Couples

Maryland couples come to us with challenges that are deeply personal — and often have been building for years before they reach out. The patterns that create distance in a relationship don't fix themselves. With the right support, though, most couples can shift those patterns significantly.

What sets Cushing Counseling apart in the Maryland market is our dual expertise in couples therapy and sex therapy. Many Maryland couples are dealing with both relationship and intimacy concerns — and most practices only address one or the other. We're equipped to address both.

  • Chronic conflict and communication problems

  • Emotional distance and disconnection

  • Infidelity and rebuilding trust

  • Intimacy and sexual concerns within the relationship

  • Parenting conflict and co-parenting stress

  • LGBTQ+ affirming couples therapy

  • Navigating differences in values, background, or expectations

Our Approach

We use the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy — two evidence-based frameworks with decades of research behind them. We'll help you understand what's driving your patterns, build new communication skills, and create a relationship that actually feels good to be in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can couples therapy help? Many couples notice a shift within the first few sessions — not because the problems are solved, but because they have a framework and new language for what's been happening. Meaningful change typically develops over 3–6 months of consistent work.

Can we do couples therapy online? Yes. All Maryland sessions are held via secure telehealth. You and your partner attend from home, making scheduling significantly easier. Research confirms that telehealth couples therapy is as effective as in-person.

We've tried therapy before and it didn't work. Why would this be different? This is one of the most common things we hear. Couples therapy outcomes vary a lot based on the therapist's training. Our approach is highly structured and evidence-based — and because we also specialize in sex therapy, we can address the full picture of your relationship rather than just the surface-level communication patterns.

What if one of us doesn't want to come? Start with an individual consultation. We can discuss your situation, and often individual sessions plant seeds that make couples work possible later. We never pressure couples into therapy — or out of it.
