The Couples' Coaching Couch: Building a Culture of Collaboration & Care


THE COUPLES’ COACHING COUCH
Just in time for Valentines Day, free group coaching for couples — get personalized support and learn from other real couples.

WHY THE COUPLES’ COACHING COUCH?
So many couples struggle behind closed doors — to the point we start to wonder: Are we the only ones who can’t seem to get this right?

The truth is, you’re not alone.

Even the most loving relationships can get caught in painful patterns: distance instead of closeness, frustration instead of understanding, silence or shouting instead of collaboration.

At the heart of it all is this question:

How do we communicate — especially when things are hard?
Do we talk in ways that bring us closer, or in ways that push us apart?

YOU (TWO) ARE SO NOT ALONE

Many couples come to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) hoping for more connection — and leave with insight, but not always the tools to apply it in the heat of the moment with the person they love most.
You may have tried, and still found yourselves stuck — still feeling misunderstood, disconnected, or losing hope.

If that’s you, you’re not broken. You just need a place to practice — with guidance and community.

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

Join The Couples’ Coaching Couch for a live evening of free, personalized couples coaching in a supportive group setting.

• Learn practical communication tools drawn from Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT).
• Get on-the-spot coaching for your unique challenges.
• Learn from other couples’ experiences — and feel the relief of realizing you’re not alone.

When couples learn to collaborate — in how they talk, listen, and repair — their whole world can change.

COACHING, NOT THERAPY

This isn’t therapy — it’s hands-on, skill-building coaching designed to help you communicate and connect more effectively, right where you are.

Led by Marina Smerling, LMFT, Certified NVC Trainer and Level II PACT couple therapy practitioner, this session blends the heart-centered empathy of NVC with the neuroscience and collaboration focus of PACT.
