Couples Therapy

Our collaborative and supportive approach to couples therapy involves respect for all different relationship structures and orientations and:

  • begins with an assessment of each person’s reasons for seeking treatment and motivation to work on the relationship

  • focuses on replacing maladaptive communication patterns and interactions with healthier ones

  • aims to strengthen trust in the relationship

  • increases self-understanding as well as understanding of your partner

  • enhances emotional connection

  • addresses physical intimacy

  • teaches problem-solving and healthy boundaries

  • can assist in deciding whether to continue or end a relationship

  • can assist in healthy separation and co-parenting for those who decide to end the relationship​

Looking for a more time-limited approach to couples work? Prepare/Enrich can be completed in 2-4 sessions with a structured assessment, and can be a practical alternative to traditional couples therapy or an entry point for those who aren't sure couples therapy is right for them. For those interested in ongoing work, Prepare/Enrich offers a jump start by outlining a relationship's unique strengths and goals for change. Learn more here.
