A Couples Connection and Communication Group
Pieces of Us
Every relationship is made up of individual stories, needs, experiences, and patterns. Pieces of Us helps couples understand what each partner brings into the relationship while developing healthier ways to communicate, manage conflict, and reconnect.
Strengthening the Relationship While Honoring Each Partner
Every relationship is shaped by the individual experiences, needs, communication styles, and emotional patterns each partner brings into it. Pieces of Us is a supportive, psychoeducational group designed to help couples better understand themselves, strengthen their connection, and develop healthier ways of communicating through conflict.
Together, couples will explore how past experiences and unmet emotional needs can influence present-day reactions, especially during moments of disconnection, misunderstanding, or feeling unheard. Participants will learn practical tools for reflective listening, assertive communication, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and taking intentional breaks when conversations become overwhelming.
This group is not about assigning blame or deciding who is right. It is about helping each partner recognize their own patterns, understand the experiences shaping their relationship, and create a more emotionally safe and connected partnership.

Pieces of Us is a 6-session couples psychotherapy group designed to support couples in strengthening communication, emotional connection, conflict resolution, and relationship skills. Participation in the group establishes a clinical relationship for the purpose of group psychotherapy services.
Before beginning the group, each couple will complete a brief pre-group questionnaire and will receive access to the Piece of the Puzzle Counseling & Wellness SimplePractice portal. Clinical documentation for group sessions will be maintained in SimplePractice, and participants will receive appointment reminders and may submit session payments through the portal.
Pieces of Us includes 6 group psychotherapy sessions. Participation in the group does not automatically establish individual or couples psychotherapy outside of the group. Any additional services following completion of the group will be discussed separately and will depend on clinical appropriateness, availability, and informed consent.
