Couples Work
Healing Minds, Strengthening Lives
Carlos Martinez // laadc
In-person and virtual sessions
Relationships are one of the most meaningful parts of life, but they can also be the most challenging. Over time, stress, miscommunication, or unresolved hurt can create distance between you and your partner. Couples counseling offers a safe, guided space to work through conflict, rebuild trust, and rediscover the connection that brought you together in the first place. My goal is to help you communicate more clearly, listen more deeply, and grow stronger together.

What Makes My Approach Different
I’ve Walked Through Conflict Myself
I know firsthand how painful disconnection can be. My approach comes not just from training, but from personal experience of working through hard seasons and understanding what it takes to rebuild.
A Balance of Empathy and Honesty
I create a safe, compassionate space for both partners while also guiding you toward truth. My role is not to take sides, but to help each of you feel heard, understood, and challenged in ways that lead to growth.
Focus on Lasting Change
I don’t believe in quick fixes or surface-level advice. We’ll go deeper, addressing patterns, wounds, and beliefs—so the changes you make together will last long after our sessions end.
This Might Be For You If…
You feel more like roommates than partners.
You long for deeper intimacy, emotionally, spiritually, or physically.
You’re committed to each other but feel unsure how to move forward.
Arguments keep cycling without resolution.
You want to strengthen your relationship before life transitions, like marriage or starting a family.
Trust has been broken, and you don’t know how to rebuild it.
