Struggling with obsessions/compulsions, rumination, control issues, social anxiety, PTSD/trauma or coping behaviors that cause shame? You're in the right place. Common problems that often co-exist with the above: rigid thinking, workaholism, perfectionism, relationship strain, suppressed anger, shame with sex interests, all-or-nothing relationship to food & substances, chronic pain & insomnia.

Let's roll up our sleeves & get you unstuck.

You feel stuck in an endless cycle of emotional blackmail. One moment, your partner is loving and everything is normal. The next, they explode and cite you as the root of all their problems. The unpredictability is exhausting. You care about this person but feel like they are breaking you down. You want to save the relationship, but your boundaries are being ignored and you are beginning to lose sight of who you are. You are so busy trying to avoid conflict that when you look in the mirror, you don't recognize who you see anymore.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
