Sliding scale slot currently available! Are you feeling stuck in your relationships or family life? Perhaps you never thought it could be this hard and nothing seems to work. I specialize in supporting clients to build better relationships and navigate life transitions. This includes helping partners with repetitive fights, communication challenges, intimacy issues and making hard decisions. I offer a Relationship Boost Program for newer/premarital couples, relationship therapy for those struggling and individual therapy around transitions, loss, grief and finding purpose. I offer warmth, hope, openness and skilled listening.
My goal is to help you get to the bottom of what's getting in your way and cultivate more effective skills to build the life and relationships you long for. I have a vast evidenced based toolkit to share with you and specialized training in relationships and sex issues. This includes IFS parts work, Gottman Method and a somatic focus.
I completed a PhD in Public Health, conducting research on couple's processes of change. I then pursued my masters in counseling psychology to work one-on-one with clients. Even if things feel hopeless, I encourage you to not wait. Reach out for a free consultation. Find out more about my practice at elizabethstarmann. com.
