Couples therapy in Nashville and online
Find your way back to each other.
Whether you are fighting more, talking less, or quietly wondering what happened, you do not have to agree on everything to start. Two Rivers is a calm place for both of you to be heard.
Sound familiar?
Most couples arrive here saying something like this.
If one of these lines stopped you, you are in the right place.
We keep having the same fight.
We feel like roommates.
Trust was broken and we don't know how to rebuild it.
One of us wants to try. The other isn't sure.
Since the kids, we barely talk about anything but logistics.
About me
Hi, I'm Mia.
I started Two Rivers Couples Counseling because I wanted a practice that only does one thing: help couples. Every session, every intake question and every corner of my Germantown office is set up for two people who may see things very differently.
I take sides with the relationship, not with either partner. That means slowing down hard conversations, naming the patterns that keep you stuck, and giving you practical tools you can use at the kitchen table on a Tuesday night.

My methods
Two approaches, grounded in decades of research
I draw on the two most studied models of couples therapy, explained here in plain language.
Gottman Method
Built on forty years of research watching real couples, the Gottman Method helps you manage conflict without contempt, turn toward each other more often, and build a friendship strong enough to carry you through hard seasons.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
EFT helps you see the cycle that pulls you apart, like one partner pushing for closeness while the other withdraws. Once you can name it, you can step out of it and reach for each other in new ways.

Weekend intensives
When an hour a week isn't enough
Two focused days to do the deep work, together.
A weekend intensive gives you uninterrupted time with me to work through what has been building for years, without waiting a week between each breakthrough.
Format
Two consecutive days, six hours each, with breaks for lunch and rest. In person at my Nashville office or by video.
From $2,800
What happens
Before the weekend
Online assessments and a 90 minute planning session so the weekend starts with focus.
Day one
Map your patterns, understand each other's history, and begin the hardest conversations with support.
Day two
Practice new ways of talking and repairing, and build a concrete plan for the weeks ahead.
After
A follow up session about a month later to see how things are going and adjust the plan.
Intensives are not a fit when there is active physical violence, untreated addiction or an ongoing affair. I will talk this through with you before booking.
The process
How couples therapy works here
You do not have to know what to say on day one. Here is what the first few weeks usually look like.
- 01
A free call
A 15 minute phone call with me. Ask anything, together or on your own, and see if I feel like a good fit.
- 02
Getting to know you
One joint session and one individual session with each partner, so I understand your history and what each of you hopes for.
- 03
A shared plan
I share what I see in plain language, and together we agree on goals that make sense to both of you.
- 04
Steady practice
Regular sessions where you try new ways of talking, repairing and reconnecting, with tools to use at home.

I am a private pay practice so that your care stays between you, me and your partner. I provide superbills you can submit for possible out of network reimbursement.
Out of network
I am out of network with all insurance plans. Many PPO plans reimburse part of the cost of couples therapy, so call your insurer and ask about out of network benefits for marriage and family therapy.
Superbills available for out-of-network reimbursement.

Things couples often ask me
What if my partner isn't sure about therapy?
That is very common. Your partner is welcome to join the free consultation call just to ask questions. Many hesitant partners feel more at ease once they see that I do not take sides.
Do you see couples who are considering separation?
Yes. If one of you is leaning toward leaving, discernment counseling can help you both get clear before deciding. I will not push you in either direction.
What happens in an intensive?
An intensive is two days of focused sessions with breaks for meals and rest. I start with an assessment before the weekend, then use the time to work through your core patterns and leave with a plan.
Do you work with LGBTQ+ couples?
Absolutely. I am an affirming practice and work with couples of all genders, sexual orientations and relationship structures.
Can I do sessions online?
Yes. I offer secure video sessions for couples anywhere in Tennessee. You can each join from the same room or, if you are apart, from separate locations.
Will you take sides?
No. My client is the relationship. I will be honest with both of you, and I work hard to make sure each partner feels understood.
You don't have to have it all figured out.
Start with a free 15 minute call. Bring your questions, your doubts, and your partner if they're ready.
