Couples Therapy

Whether you are in a gender-diverse, heterosexual, same-sex, or polyamorous relationship, psychotherapy can support you and your partner.

You might be here for any number of reasons…

Are you looking to strengthen your bond with your partner?

Do you want to prepare together for the next step in your life?

Is there a crisis you’re trying to work through?

Or maybe you’re not having any overt difficulties, but you’re uncertain about the future.

Even if you’re in the midst of serious conflict…

Couples therapy might be able to help you cope with or address infertility, infidelity, sexual difficulties, divorce, remarriage, financial or employment stresses, loss, grief, parenting conflicts, cultural tensions, a personal history of trauma, depression, anxiety, disability, illness, caregiving or aging, or any other source of stress or adjustment in your lives

Sometimes, the simple act of beginning counseling can restore a sense of goodwill between them and their partner, laying the foundation for deeper closeness and sharing.

Here’s what we’ll do in therapy and why it will help…

Explore your problems and difficulties.

Learn to regulate emotions and halt reactivity.

Understand each other with compassion.

A big part of healing as a couple is developing a true UNDERSTANDING of each other.

What strengths and vulnerabilities do you both bring to the relationship? How have your early lives affected how you approach and behave in your relationship? How might those issues affect your ability to trust your partner? What makes you feel close to your partner? What does each of you need to feel truly fulfilled?

When you understand what’s behind your partner’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, you can respond with compassion instead of hostility or resentment.

Reconnect emotionally and renew your commitment to each other.

Develop your capacity for self-reflection, intimacy, and trust.

Learn to manage and resolve habitual tensions.

Communicate more effectively, especially when stressed.

Adopt rituals or practices to support and nurture your life as a couple.

Let us help you get your relationship back on track.

It takes work, but your relationship is worth it.
