Couples Therapy and Relationship Support
Relationships can be one of the most meaningful parts of our lives, but it also take work to maintain intimacy and closeness amidst the demands of daily life.

Ongoing conflict or communication breakdowns
Our work with couples is collaborative, structured, and focused on helping both partners feel heard and understood. We take the time to understand your relationship dynamics, communication patterns, and shared goals, and tailor our approach accordingly. Whether you’re navigating ongoing conflict or simply want to strengthen your connection, we create a space where both individuals can engage openly and constructively.
We draw from evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to support deeper emotional connection, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Through this process, couples develop practical tools and a stronger foundation for navigating challenges together, both now and in the future.
How couples therapy works in practice
Getting started with couples therapy
Start by scheduling a consultation with a member of our care coordination team. This initial 30-minute phone call can be done with one or both partners.
During this call, we take the time to understand your relationship, your concerns, and what you’re hoping to achieve. We then thoughtfully match you with a highly trained clinician who is carefully selected to support both you and your partner.
In your sessions, you’ll build insight and practical tools to address your specific challenges and develop the skills to navigate your relationship with more confidence. Over time, the goal is for you to integrate these tools into your daily life, so you can continue to grow and navigate challenges together with less need for ongoing therapy or coaching.

It’s very common for one partner to feel more ready than the other. You’re welcome to reach out on your own to start the conversation.
