Stronger Relationships Start Here — Expert Marriage & Relationship Counseling
Real Help for Real Relationships
Every couple hits rough patches — it’s normal. Whether you're arguing more than usual, feeling disconnected, or just want to strengthen your bond, we’re here to help. At Goldfinch Counseling, we offer down-to-earth, effective couples counseling in Des Moines that’s built around your relationship, your goals, and your story.
What Couples Therapy Looks Like With Us
Your first session is all about getting to know you both and understanding what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll:
Pinpoint what’s working and what’s not
Get clear on your goals for therapy
Start building tools to communicate better and reconnect
We combine warmth and real talk with techniques that actually work. Our goal? To help you feel more connected — not just during sessions, but in everyday life.
Our approach blends proven methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, widely respected for their effectiveness in marriage counseling and couples therapy.
Who we work with
We work with all kinds of couples in Des Moines and beyond — dating, engaged, married, LGBTQ+, long-term, short-term, polyamorous, open relationships, and everything in between.
Whether you're working through a big issue or just want to get back on the same page, we're here for it.
In-person and remote options
We’re located right here in Des Moines with easy parking and a cozy, welcoming space. Prefer to talk from the couch at home? No problem — we offer secure virtual therapy sessions too.
