From Conflict to Connection. From Frustration to Fulfillment.

You might be asking yourself since when did the compliments turn into criticisms? You might have become more like roommates instead of romantic partners… Or, you might want to learn ways to improve your current relationship.

Our therapists don’t judge or take sides, and we don’t decide who is right or wrong. Instead, we focus on guiding you toward new skills, healthier communication, and more meaningful ways of reconnecting after conflict. That said, if we notice something that’s clearly harmful or detrimental to your relationship, we will name it with care and transparency!

No Wait Lists! Couples therapy sessions are available today:

What does a standard session look like?

In couples therapy, you will meet with the licensed therapist who will teach you new ways of talking and connecting to each other. The therapist will start by getting to know who you are together as a couples and getting to know you individually outside of the relationship.

Talking about your relationship to a third party, is never easy. As such, we take an active role in our session to ensure there is calm and both of you feel heard. We want you to leave the session with a different experience than what you are used to.

With our couples therapy services you can get support with dating, love, relationships/marital issues, infidelity, trauma/PTSD, past hurt and resentment, parenting, sex and intimacy, improving communication and conflict and more.

Since not one conflict or relationship is the same, our techniques and approaches are suited to your needs. We use techniques such as Gottman Method, EFT, RLT, Imago etc. As a couples therapist, we truly care about your relationship and rooting for your individual and relationship needs.

How can you tell your relationship needs work?

Research has successfully predicted divorce/end of a relationship by HOW you and your partner fight. These are through the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse:

  1. criticism

  2. contempt

  3. defensiveness

  4. stonewalling

In our couples therapy, we follow proven-methods which will help you recognize the negative patterns that are taking place and teach you the skills to eliminate them. You will be able to go beyond just managing conflicts, but being able to restore the friendship and intimacy in the relationship.
