Kodo Couples Therapy

Struggling with repeating arguments, emotional distance, or a breakdown in trust? At Kodo Couples Therapy, we help couples move beyond the "roommate phase" into a relationship grounded in deeper connection, clarity, and growth.

Based in Novato, we specialize in high-impact, science-backed approaches that get to the root of your conflict. Whether you are feeling stuck or fighting daily, we provide the tools to shift old patterns and reconnect.

Our Specialized Approaches:

Relational Life Therapy (RLT): A direct, transformative method to help you take ownership of your dynamics and speak your truth with love.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Designed to move you through emotional reactivity and back into a secure, safe connection.

Trauma-Informed EMDR: Helping partners heal from past wounds that are impacting their current relationship.

Discernment Counseling: For couples on the brink, unsure if they want to stay or leave.

Why Choose Kodo? Therapy here is compassionate, directive, and insight-rich. We are not just "neutral listeners", we are active partners in your healing. We proudly serve all couples, including those in nontraditional, multicultural, and neurodiverse relationships.

Location & Availability: Sessions are available in-person at our Novato office in Marin County and virtually throughout California.

Kodo means "heartbeat" in Japanese, a symbol of rhythm and relational presence. Let’s help your relationship find its rhythm again.
