Does this sound like you?
You are not alone, and it is workable
Whether you are dating, engaged, newly married or decades in, these struggles are more common than most couples realize.
We keep having the same argument and nothing changes.
We have stopped really talking to each other.
Trust was broken and we do not know how to rebuild it.
We feel more like roommates than partners.
Money, kids or family keep pulling us apart.
We want a counselor who will not take sides.
How couples counseling works
Four steps from conflict to connection
Kim's approach draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy, family-systems therapy and integrative techniques, tailored to your couple. The goal is the root cause, not just managing symptoms.
Communicate again
Practice active listening, clear expression of needs, and handling conflict without anger or withdrawal.
Rebuild trust
A structured process for forgiveness, honesty and accountability after betrayal or neglect.
Reconnect
Rekindle emotional and physical closeness through small, intentional daily actions that last.
Your values, your choice
Faith-integrated or traditional, built around you
For couples who want it, Kim weaves spiritual principles into the work: Biblical perspectives on love, commitment, forgiveness and communication. Couples who prefer a traditional approach receive the same depth, structure and care without the spiritual dimension.
- Safe, non-judgmental space for both partners
- Clear goals and actionable steps, not just talking
- Whole-person care: emotional, psychological and relational

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will the counselor take sides?
No. Couples counseling at Acts 4 Healing is not about assigning fault. Both partners are met with empathy and without blame, and the work is about understanding each other and moving forward together.
Is the counseling religious?
Only if you want it to be. Kim can incorporate faith and Biblical principles for couples who desire them. For couples who prefer a traditional therapeutic approach, the same depth and structure apply without the spiritual dimension.
Can you help after infidelity or broken trust?
Yes. Rebuilding trust is possible when both partners are committed. Kim guides couples through a structured process for healing, forgiveness and new patterns of honesty.
What if our relationship is not in crisis?
Many couples come to strengthen what they have. Every relationship can benefit from better communication skills and a fresh perspective.
What if only one of us feels ready?
That is common. Call or send a message and describe your situation, and Kim can talk through the best way to begin.
What are your fees and do you accept insurance?
Call (707) 747-0500 or send a message, and the office will walk you through fees and payment options before you commit to anything.
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. Acts 4 Healing offers both in-person sessions in Benicia and telehealth.
