Couples Therapy

Learning to heal + reconnect

Whether you are married, dating, in a committed or open relationship, or any other relationship, conflict can arise. Relationships take work even after the commitment is there. This is often when relationships can suffer the most. When one feels misunderstood, left behind or shamed for what they are going through it can create a rift in the relationship. Life transitions, balancing family and work, or differences in libido are some common factors that can impact the health of relationships. Unchecked, these factors can intensify into hurt feelings, anxiety or depression, infidelity or affairs, or mismatched paths in the future. All which can interfere with a relationship.

Couples therapy offers an environment that is a safe and welcoming space for you and your partner to find support, encouragement and skills to heal and rediscover your story. Couples therapy is often a core component when working with sex therapy topics such as differences in libido, loss of desire, infidelity, or introducing new sex play into the relationship.

Through couples therapy, you will each learn skills to improve communication when it matters the most, learn to understand what your partner needs from the relationship, and so much more. During the first several sessions, your therapist will listen to understand the reason for seeking therapy now and collaborate with you to develop specific goals for your unique relationship. Using the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy, with the 4 pillars of wellness as a touchstone, our therapists will provide you with skills to heal and reconnect.
