Couples & Marriage Therapy in downtown Provo!
Every relationship hits hard seasons. What matters is what you do next.
At Gumtree Therapy, we work with couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in the same arguments without resolution. Whether you’re navigating a specific crisis or just know something needs to change, we help you understand what’s really going on and build the connection, communication, and safety you’ve been longing for with your partner.

Starting couples therapy can feel vulnerable — for both partners. Your first session is a chance for you and your therapist to understand each other’s perspectives, identify what’s bringing you in, and begin building a roadmap together. No one gets put on the spot.
From there, sessions are a collaborative space where both voices matter equally. Drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and other evidence-based approaches, we work to understand the patterns underneath your conflict — not just the surface arguments — and help you build new ways of connecting that actually last.
There’s no taking sides and no predetermined outcome. Just two people and a skilled therapist, working toward a relationship that feels like home again.
Note: We also offer premarital counseling for couples preparing for marriage.
