Couples Therapy

Arguments going nowhere?

Trust broken?

Intimacy fading or lost?

Want to rekindle the love that drew you together?

Want to feel secure in your connection?

 

If you answered yes to any of the above, we can help reestablish your relationship as a thriving and nurturing partnership

We use state-of-the-art therapy methods that allow you to repair, renew, and restore your love, or to move on with clarity and growth.

 

 

For over 35 years, we have helped couples like you. We know how to support you to create and sustain a loving relationship. Our cutting-edge therapy helps you and your partner make changes quickly. We honor the many diverse forms of relationship and love, including LGBTQ partnerships. We help you resolve the issues troubling you and your partner, addressing the full range of issues that couples may experience during the lifetime of a relationship.

  • feelings of anger, hurt, and betrayal
  • working through frozen resentments
  • learning to express anger cleanly while maintaining connection
  • concerns about drinking, substance use, or other compulsive/addictive patterns

Transitions

  • facing issues related to illness, death, and dying
