Marriage Counseling

A strong marriage starts with a solid foundation. We help premarital couples navigate about communication, intimacy, and shared values before saying "I do” and equip you with tools for a lasting partnership.

Prep for Marriage

Our 2–day couples intensive is perfect for busy partners (equivalent to 3 to 4 months of weekly therapy). Through tailored RLT exercises, somatic attunement, and EMDR, you’ll break stuck patterns, rebuild trust, and gain concrete communication tools plus a personalized roadmap for lasting change.

Explore Intensives

Unresolved trauma can shape the way we connect, communicate, and respond in relationships. EMDR helps process past wounds so they no longer drive present conflicts.

Explore EMDR

Whether you're questioning a new relationship, struggling in a long-term partnership, or facing a breakup, therapy provides a space to gain clarity, process emotions, and make empowered, intentional choices for your future.

Explore Discernment

Using research-based techniques, we help partners navigate challenges with deeper understanding. Whether you're feeling stuck, distant, or in conflict, we are here to guide you back to trust and intimacy.

Explore RLT

You don’t have to wait for your partner to start changing your relationship. Couples therapy for one offers a powerful space to explore your relationship dynamics, gain clarity, and create meaningful change on your own.

The Meaning of Kodo

Kodo translates to "heartbeat" in Japanese, and encapsulates the essential pulse of life and connection. It also serves as the fundamental source of all rhythm and is reminiscent of a mother's pulse felt from the womb. In a spiritual sense, it reflects the heart's harmonious functioning, capturing our inner state and emotions.

We uphold this principle at Kodo Couples & Marriage Counseling in Marin County by helping couples rediscover their emotional pulse. Our culturally sensitive approach ensures that we respect and understand each client's unique background, making your relationship stronger.

Starting your journey toward a stronger, more connected relationship is a brave decision, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Schedule your free consultation today.
