Burns Psychological Services in Houma, LA, offers specialized couples therapy designed to help partners navigate challenges and foster a healthier relationship. This service provides a confidential and supportive environment where couples can explore their dynamics and develop effective strategies for growth. Our approach aims to enhance understanding, improve communication, and rebuild connections for a more fulfilling partnership.
Your journey begins with an intake session where your therapist will gather information about your relationship history, current concerns, and individual perspectives. This initial assessment helps in understanding the unique dynamics at play and identifying key areas for therapeutic focus. It’s a collaborative process to establish a baseline for your work together.
Following the assessment, you and your therapist will work together to define specific, achievable goals for your therapy. These goals might include improving conflict resolution, enhancing emotional intimacy, or developing better communication skills. The treatment plan is personalized to address your relationship’s particular needs and aspirations.
During sessions, therapists utilize evidence-based modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and person-centered approaches. These techniques help couples understand underlying emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and learn new ways of relating. The focus is on practical skills and deeper emotional understanding.
Therapy sessions can be conducted in-person or via secure telehealth video, offering flexibility to fit your schedule. For more intensive support, daily check-ins via phone or video calls are available to provide frequent guidance. This continuous support helps reinforce learned skills and address emerging issues in real-time.

Testimonials
I was referred to Dr Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
