Reconnecting, Rebuilding Trust, and Growing Together
Relationships can feel deeply fulfilling—and deeply painful—at the same time. If you and your partner feel stuck in cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding, couples therapy can help you slow down, feel heard, and rebuild connection. You don’t have to keep repeating the same arguments or feeling alone in your relationship. Healing and growth are possible.
You might relate if…
⟡ You feel disconnected, distant, or like roommates instead of partners
⟡ Communication often turns into arguments or shutdowns
⟡ Trust has been impacted by past hurts, betrayal, or misalignment
⟡ You struggle to feel understood, validated, or emotionally safe
⟡ Conflict feels repetitive with no real resolution
⟡ One or both of you feel overwhelmed, resentful, or unsure how to move forward
⟡ Life transitions, stress, or trauma are affecting your relationship
You’re Not Alone
Struggles in a relationship don’t mean you’ve failed or that the relationship is broken.

Meet Jada, Your Couples Therapist
Hi, I’m Jada LaBounty, a therapist in Madison who supports couples navigating conflict, disconnection, and emotional wounds. I understand how painful it can be to love someone deeply and still feel misunderstood, distant, or stuck. Many couples come to therapy feeling unsure if things can change—I believe they can.
My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I help couples slow down reactive patterns, understand one another more deeply, and rebuild trust and emotional safety. Whether you’re hoping to repair after a rupture or strengthen an already meaningful relationship, you deserve support that honors both of you.
Your Relationship Healing Journey
Healing as a couple is a process—and it looks different for every relationship. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and respectful for both partners.
Together, you’ll work on:
Understanding Your Relationship Patterns
Identify cycles of conflict, withdrawal, or miscommunication and where they come from.
Improving Communication & Emotional Safety
Learn to express needs, feelings, and boundaries in ways that foster connection rather than defensiveness.
Repairing Hurt & Rebuilding Trust
Process past wounds, ruptures, or betrayals with care and intention.
Strengthening Connection & Intimacy
Reconnect emotionally and create a stronger sense of partnership and teamwork.
This work isn’t about assigning blame—it’s about creating lasting change that supports mutual understanding, respect, and closeness.
Find the Clarity You’re Looking For
-
Couples therapy can be helpful if you feel stuck in recurring arguments, disconnected, misunderstood, or unsure how to move forward together. You don’t have to be on the brink of separation to seek support. Many couples come to therapy simply wanting to communicate better, rebuild trust, or feel closer again.
If something in your relationship feels heavy, confusing, or painful, and you want support navigating it together, couples therapy may be a good fit.
-
Couples therapy doesn’t require a predetermined outcome. Some couples come in wanting to strengthen their relationship, while others want clarity, understanding, or support navigating a crossroads. Therapy can help you explore your options thoughtfully and respectfully—without pressure or judgment.
-
This is very common. It’s okay if one partner feels more ready or hopeful about therapy than the other. We’ll move at a pace that feels respectful to both of you, focusing first on creating safety, clarity, and shared goals. Therapy isn’t about forcing change—it’s about creating understanding and space for growth.
-
No. My role is not to determine who’s “right” or “wrong,” but to help both partners feel heard, understood, and supported. We focus on the patterns between you—not blaming either person—and work toward healthier communication, emotional safety, and mutual respect.
-
Trauma—whether individual or shared—can deeply impact communication, intimacy, and emotional safety. I use a trauma-informed approach that honors each partner’s nervous system, boundaries, and lived experience. We won’t push conversations or exercises that feel unsafe, and we’ll prioritize regulation, consent, and pacing throughout the work.
-
My fee is $150 per 50-minute session. I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement if your plan includes out-of-network benefits. Sliding-scale options may also be available. Need help navigating your insurance benefits? Learn more in my FAQ section.
Still have questions? Feel free to send me a message—I’m here to help!
