By working with a couples therapist informed in attachment needs, body language, and pattern recognition, you give your relationship the dedicated focus it deserves—far away from the distractions of a screen. Whether you are looking to heal from a breach of trust, break free from chronic communication issues, or simply find your way back to the intimacy you used to share, our work is designed to help you dismantle old patterns and rebuild a stronger, more resilient foundation together.

You may ask yourselves
-
Couples therapy is attended once a week with your partner to discuss current issues that you may be experiencing as a couple. At earlier stages in the treatment, it’s taking an extensive attachment history of each partner to determine how we show up in relationships. Later, we work together to identify the repetitive cycles you can find yourself in with your partner (AKA having the same fight over and over again).
-
Sessions are 50 minutes long (longer by request) and are only done together as a couple. Most couples stay in treatment for 8-20 sessions, but some stay longer as part of their ongoing relationship hygiene.
-
Each person in the couple is highly encouraged to be in their own individual therapy. However, this can be evaluated and determined in the free consultation.
-
If you’ve been broken up with in the past, it can be common to worry that your relationship may end without warning. As a couple, it can be hard to communicate doubts about the relationship, but it may be necessary to voice your concerns before being blindsided by a breakup.
In couples therapy, you can learn how to be mad at your partner, meaning that it can build resiliency in the connection to be able to survive the inevitable negative feelings that we all have in long-term relationships.
-
Couples therapy is now a “first resort” as opposed to a “last resort.” A therapist can help identify patterns and cycles that you can get stuck in as a couple, as well as how your individual attachment styles show up in the relationship dynamic. This can make decision-making easier as a couple and feel more secure in the relationship.
