Healing Relationships. Restoring Connection. Building Strong

Hi, I’m Dr. Lou Kulpa — and I believe real change happens when we do the hard work together.

If you’ve found your way here, chances are something in your relationship doesn’t feel quite right. You might be stuck in the same arguments, working to rebuild broken trust, or simply feeling more like roommates than partners. While quick fixes may be tempting, meaningful change runs deeper.

At Healing & Learning Counseling, my role isn’t to hand you a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s to help you uncover the patterns, emotions, and dynamics that are keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, navigate tough emotions, and build new ways of connecting that feel honest, sustainable, and rooted in mutual respect.

I specialize in working with couples at every stage — from those just starting out to those who’ve shared decades together. My approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, a research-based framework that offers practical tools for communication, conflict resolution, and emotional intimacy. But beyond the tools, I bring warmth, collaboration, and a deep respect for the uniqueness of your journey.

Who I Work With

I work with couples and individuals who are ready to take a real, honest look at where they are — and who are willing to show up for the process. My clients are open to being challenged in a supportive space, taking ownership of their growth, and applying what we explore in session to their everyday lives.

Many of the people I work with have spent years putting others first, minimizing their needs, or hoping things would just get better on their own. Therapy is their choice to do something different — to invest in healing, learning, and genuine connection.

And while the work can be deep, it doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I value honesty, occasional laughter, and a human connection with my clients. I aim to create a space where compassion and directness go hand in hand.

If you’re ready to take that next step — for yourself, your relationship, or your family — Healing & Learning Counseling is here to support you.
