Therapy for Couples
ON THE BRINK
Looking for a couples therapist in Dallas–Fort Worth or surrounding area who can help you and your partner save your relationship or marriage from divorce or break up?
​
When a marriage or long-term relationship reaches a breaking point, everything can feel unstable and urgent. You may be living in constant conflict, feeling emotionally disconnected, or facing the possibility of separation or divorce. Some couples arrive here after years of unresolved issues, while others are navigating the impact of betrayal, infidelity, or a sudden rupture. Whether you have recently separated, filed for divorce, or are questioning if your relationship can be saved, the uncertainty can be overwhelming.
​
At Bell Family Therapy, we help couples slow things down and gain clarity before making life changing decisions. Couples therapy at this stage focuses on stabilizing communication, addressing emotional injuries, and understanding the patterns that have brought you here. Through structured support, partners can rebuild emotional safety, explore repair, and determine thoughtful next steps, whether that means reconciliation or an intentional separation.
Who This Service Is For
​
This service is designed for partners who are navigating intense strain, uncertainty, or crisis in their relationship and want thoughtful, professional support before making permanent decisions. This service may be right for you if you and your partner are:
​
• Experiencing frequent conflict, emotional distance, or communication breakdowns
• Recovering from infidelity, betrayal, or broken trust
• Recently separated, considering separation, or have filed for divorce but feel unsure
• Struggling to decide whether your relationship can be repaired or how to move forward
​
We work virtually with couples across Dallas–Fort Worth and throughout Texas, offering structured, compassionate therapy that helps partners slow down, stabilize conflict, and gain clarity during one of the most difficult seasons of their relationship.
What We Bring to Therapy
No two relationships reach this point in the same way, and there is no single path forward that fits every couple. At Bell Family Therapy, we meet both partners where they are with a structured, personalized approach grounded in research-based couples therapy models. Our work draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and conflict resolution frameworks designed to support couples under high stress.
​
Whether you are navigating ongoing conflict, emotional distance, betrayal, or the uncertainty that follows separation or filing for divorce, we help you understand the patterns shaping your relationship and what keeps you stuck. Therapy creates space to slow down reactive cycles, clarify unmet needs, and explore what repair would require.
​
Together, we focus on rebuilding emotional safety, improving communication, and gaining clarity about next steps. Our goal is to help you move forward with intention, whether that means working toward reconciliation or making thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
Common Therapy Goals
for Couples on the Brink
When a relationship is under intense strain, therapy shifts from long-term growth to immediate stabilization, clarity, and intentional decision making. Couples therapy at this stage focuses on helping partners slow the damage, understand what is really happening beneath the conflict, and determine a healthier path forward.
Stabilizing Conflict and Communication
One of the first goals is reducing reactivity and constant escalation. We work on interrupting destructive communication patterns, creating safer conversations, and helping both partners feel heard without blame or shutdown.
Repairing Trust and Emotional Safety
For couples impacted by betrayal, infidelity, secrecy, or emotional distance, therapy focuses on addressing the deeper emotional injuries. This includes accountability, rebuilding trust, and restoring a sense of safety that allows honest connection to return.

Gaining Clarity About What Comes Next
Not every couple comes to therapy knowing whether they want to stay together. We help couples slow down decision making, explore repair realistically, and gain clarity about whether reconciliation or separation is the healthiest next step.

Hi, I’m Sileta. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when a marriage is unraveling and the future of your relationship feels uncertain. When trust has been shaken, communication has broken down, or divorce feels like it may be inevitable, it is easy to feel lost and emotionally exhausted.
​
As a Couples Therapist and Registered Domestic Mediator, I work with couples every week who are facing this exact crossroads. My role is to provide a steady, structured space where both partners can slow down, be heard, and make sense of what has brought them here.
​
My goal is simple: to help couples stabilize conflict, gain clarity, and move forward with intention, whether that means rebuilding the relationship or making thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
