Love is the greatest source of joy, and can be the greatest source of suffering. If you and your partner are currently struggling, I may be able to help. I’m Trish Cunningham, a licensed therapist, and the veteran of a 40-year marriage. Chances are whatever you are going through, I've been there. In addition, I am trained to help you in the major schools of couples counseling- Gottman, Imago, Emotion Focused, and Prepare and Enrich. I also work with couples who are just starting out. Whatever the stage of your relationship, I can help.
Using a solutions-focused lens, I work with couples to make rapid progress in processing past hurts, improving communication and establishing greater positivity in the relationship. If couples want to save the relationship, our work typically takes from six to ten sessions. I see you remotely, using telehealth to maximize your time.
Helping people to grow as humans by remaining in a committed relationship, as well as improving the quality of that connection to increase happiness, makes this work deeply meaningful for me. I work with sensitivity and equal empathy for both partners, but will also diagnose where a new perspective and fresh ways of being together may be required.

I meet with couples for an initial diagnostic session, including pre-session surveys. If we decide to proceed, I ask you to commit to a minimum of five additional sessions at $250 per session. Often this is all that is needed. After that I recommend monthly check-ins for 3-6 month
