Therapy for your relationship in Bucks County
A Better Life Therapy offers couples counseling from our office in New Hope, Pennsylvania or online to residents of Bucks County and across the state of Pennsylvania.
You might be wondering how you got here. When your relationship started things seemed so good - but arguments, let downs, stress, and maybe just a gradual drifting apart has changed the relationship into something you no longer recognize. You want to feel more connected and confident in your relationship and you need straightforward support in the midst of a complicated situation to help you do that. We have worked with hundreds of couples and using research backed methods, a direct approach, and a touch of humor we can help you figure out what to do next, together.
We specialize in working with couples who are grappling with profound challenges, such as trauma, infidelity, postpartum, cross cultural challenges, or the unique stressors faced by high-achieving couples. We bring over a decade of knowledge and expertise to our sessions. Our approaches are structured and straightforward and also includes empathy, honesty, and a touch of humor.
In our experience, the hardest part is getting started. We understand that it can be overwhelming to start with a couples therapist for many reasons - our hope is that our work together will help you to easily start what can be challenging but fulfilling work for yourself and your relationship.
Below, you can learn more about our Bucks County team. We would be honored to support you.

Couples Therapy in Bucks County, PA
Types of treatment
One of the biggest complaints we hear from the couples we have worked with is that they tried couples therapy before and that it felt like they were just allowed to yell at each other the entire session or like the therapist offered no support. We don’t want you to feel that way at our office.
At our office, we are specifically trained to offer couples therapy which is a unique form of therapy and requires specialized training. Our therapists utilize evidence based couples therapy models like The Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
In our Bucks County office we offer:
Traditional Couples Therapy - Traditional couples therapy consists of weekly/biweekly sessions that lost 50 minutes to 90 minutes per session. In this model of couples therapy you will create goals with your therapist and work on them week to week.
Intensive Couples Therapy - Intensive couples therapy, also known as marathon couples therapy, provides couples an extended amount of time to work through issues. Over a period of 2-3 days, a couple will work with the therapist for 5-6 hours a day. Intensive couples therapy allows the couple to get through what amounts to about 7-10 sessions in 2 days and can be especially helpful for couples who never have a chance to finish their conversations during the shorter therapy sessions or couples who are too busy to schedule consistent weekly appointments.
