At Lily Counseling, we know that marriage isn’t always easy—especially when life moves fast, emotions run deep, and you’re juggling high expectations.

For couples who value both emotional wellness and spiritual growth, we also offer faith-based marriage counseling rooted in Christian and Catholic traditions.

FInd your shared strength

Every couple has their own rhythm, challenges, and love story. That’s why we don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions. As your marriage counselor in Chicago, we take time to understand the dynamics that make your partnership unique—and the patterns that may be holding you back.

Using an integrative blend of therapy and coaching, we help you:

  • Break Cycles of Conflict
    Uncover the deeper patterns behind recurring arguments and create new ways of engaging with empathy and accountability.

  • Rebuild Trust and Intimacy
    Work through betrayals, communication breakdowns, or growing emotional distance with structured guidance and emotional safety.

  • Enhance Communication Skills
    Learn to speak and listen from a place of respect, presence, and curiosity.

  • Navigate Life Transitions as a Team
    From newlyweds to empty nesters, we help couples stay aligned through career changes, parenting, relocation, and more.

  • Honor Your Faith
    For those seeking spiritual support, our Chicago-based marriage counselors can integrate Christian or Catholic values into your sessions.

Expert Support That Elevates Your Marriage

We view therapy as more than a space to talk—it’s a strategic partnership for healing, growth, and long-term change. Here’s how we help you strengthen your marriage:

  • Deeper Insight into Relationship Patterns
    We go beyond the symptoms to explore what’s really happening beneath the surface—and how to shift it.

  • Faith-Based Support When Desired
    If your spiritual beliefs are important to your relationship, we honor and incorporate them into the counseling process.

  • Tailored Guidance, Not One-Size-Fits-All

    Your relationship is unique. Your therapy should be too. We customize our approach to meet your specific goals, values, and needs.
