Q: How couples therapy help?

Every couple we work with is unique and has their own strengths and challenges. Couples therapy is a place for you and your partner to set goals that are important to you, and to show up each week and commit to working on them together. 

Couples therapy is not just for crises - it’s for growth and strengthening what you already have created too!

Couples therapy can help you:

  • Communicate more clearly (and with less reactivity)

  • Feel heard & understood

  • Heal from hurt & disconnection

  • Navigate life changes

  • Rebuild emotional & physical intimacy

  • Learn tools & skills that you can take with you
