Couples Therapy Body

Couples in distress often enter therapy holding two goals that seem mutually exclusive: to feel loved and to feel understood. Through our powerful, non-pathologizing approach, we help couples better understand themselves, their differences, and the underlying reasons for their suffering so that they can have better conversations and more choices moving forward. 

HOW COUPLES STRUGGLE

 All couples eventually encounter struggles in their relationship. These struggles often include problems with communication. Sometimes they include tensions between togetherness and separateness, difficulties with accepting each other’s differences, conflict over decisions, feeling misunderstood or unloved, heated fights, intimacy and sexuality concerns, frustration that the other person isn’t changing, disrespected boundaries, challenges with addictive behaviors, relationship ruptures, and betrayals. 

There is in fact a way to be heard and respected, and to not always agree. We can help.

THE THERAPIST'S ROLE

As couples therapists, we pay careful attention to the repetitive conflict patterns that keep people from connecting and understanding each other. We support couples in understanding and healing wounds underlying those patterns and staying regulated and connected while having difficult conversations.

STEP 1:

Contact us HERE and book an appointment with the therapist you'd like to see. You will be directed to our Client Portal where you will be asked to enter basic information and decide whether you would prefer online or in-person sessions.

STEP 2:

Within a business day, our Client Care Coordinator will reach out to you to confirm scheduling and goodness of fit with the therapist you've chosen. The CCC will answer any questions you have, finalize your appointment and send you paperwork to complete prior to your first session.

STEP 3:

Depending on whether your sessions are online or in-person, you will follow instructions received via email to connect with your therapist. First sessions are about understanding all the basics of therapy, telling your story and starting to outline the goals of your journey ahead.
