Every couple faces times of disharmony. It’s those who are willing to repair that achieve lasting love.
At Relational Life Texas, we specialize in transformative couples therapy that doesn’t just smooth over the surface but addresses the deeper patterns holding you back.
Explore how we can help you and your partner to reconnect with yourselves—and each other—building a stronger, more intimate, and fulfilling relationship.
Our method, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), breaks many of the rules of traditional couples therapy—therapy you may have tried before without results.
Here’s how we spark profound change to transform even the most challenging relationships:
Not all problems are 50/50. Our therapists don’t sit back as neutral observers—instead, we lovingly confront partners to build understanding and self-awareness.
Love demands democracy. While many therapies focus on lifting self-esteem, we throw equal weight behind helping the dominant return to levels of healthy self-esteem.
Experience profound inner child work in the presence of your partner—displaying vulnerability that builds empathy, and deepens understanding of your and your partner’s behaviors.
At Relational Life Texas, we understand how overwhelming it can feel when your relationship is on the edge.
Our Relational Life Therapy method, created by Terry Real—an internationally recognized family therapist known as the “turnaround guy”—has saved countless couples on the brink of divorce.
This knowledge is invested in our dedicated therapists, who apply the same enormously effective techniques to repair relationships—when other methods simply couldn’t.
Together, we can guide you from passive disconnection and into active healing—breaking destructive patterns and rebuilding the intimacy that once brought you together.
Through loving confrontation, we identify the behaviors and coping mechanisms that are sabotaging your happiness and connection.
Next, we guide you through deep inner child work, helping you heal from past hurts in the presence of your partner to create deep empathy and understanding.
Then, we teach you essential relational skills to correct destructive cycles, navigate conflict with love, and develop nourishing closeness.
Reconnect Within a Safe Space
Lasting change starts with self-connection. Our therapists will first guide you in reconnecting with yourself—your feelings, needs, and desires—laying the foundation for a deeper, more intimate connection with your partner.
In a safe, compassionate space, you’ll be supported as you lovingly confront the relational patterns and behaviors that have been holding you back from true happiness and fulfillment.
Whether you’ve felt stuck for years or simply want to strengthen your bond, our therapists will address the heart of your challenges from the very first session—helping you build a stronger, more connected partnership.

“. . .the couples work that you do is so valuable — we are relating now in a wholly new and expansive way. It’s what each of us knew we were missing but could not have found on our own. Thank you so much!”

“Some of the things I love about Terry Real and his work are the practical steps, down-to-earth guidance and his model of having the courage and respect to be honest with couples when one partner is behaving in a way that needs to be addressed first.”
“Thank you for introducing me to the real Mark, and for introducing him to himself. I am happier in our relationship then I have been in many many years. I use the strategies you taught us with Mark as well as with my siblings and friends. They work! If we never found someone willing to be straight and honest we would not be together, that much I know. Your honesty about Mark allowed me to stand down. Now that I am able to stand down I am able to try to be the person I want to be in this relationship.”

“I have found that most couples really want a relationship that works for both people and they have no idea how to make that happen. Once they learn that implementing a set of learned skills can achieve their goal, the majority of couples are willing to do things differently. They become empowered to change!”
