Dr. Laura Louis – Couples Therapy Professional Bio
Dr. Laura Louis, Licensed Psychologist and founder of Atlanta Couple Therapy, believes that no marriage is beyond repair when both hearts are still willing.
Known as “The Marriage Architect,” Dr. Louis has dedicated her career to helping couples rebuild what felt broken, reconnect when distance crept in, and rediscover the safety and intimacy that brought them together in the first place.
With deep cultural understanding and faith-honoring guidance, Dr. Louis specializes in working with African-American couples navigating the unique pressures of holding it all together while their relationship quietly falls apart. She knows the weight of being strong, the exhaustion of carrying it alone, and the courage it takes to ask for help.
Her approach is dire
Her approach is direct but compassionate. She doesn’t just help couples talk – she teaches them how to truly hear each other. Through proven therapeutic methods tailored to each couple’s story, Dr. Louis addresses the real issues hiding beneath surface arguments: broken trust after infidelity, emotional disconnection, communication breakdowns, and the silent resentment that builds when no one feels seen.
Whether you’re on the brink of divorce or simply tired of feeling like roommates instead of partners, Dr. Louis creates a safe space where both voices matter, hard truths can be spoken, and healing can begin.
Her work has transformed hundreds of marriages, not through quick fixes, but through sustainable tools that help couples navigate conflict, rebuild emotional safety, and create the partnership they’ve been longing for.

She holds a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology and is a Licensed Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience, committed to helping couples write a different ending to their story – one where love doesn’t just survive, but thrives.
Because the strongest marriages aren’t the ones that never struggle – they’re the ones where both people decide the relationship is worth fighting for. Start fighting for yours at atlantacoupletherapy.com.
