Relationships

Couples and romantic partners seek psychotherapy for many reasons and at many different stages of their lives, even when they are not experiencing any overt difficulties. Some seek the psychotherapy to strengthen their bond, relate with more ease or prepare for the next step in their lives together. Others come in crisis, uncertain of their futures, or whether resolution of their problems is even possible. Even if you and your significant others are experiencing serious conflicts, psychotherapy may be able to assist you. Some of our clients find that just beginning counseling can restore a sense of goodwill between them and their partner. When combined with the support and guidance of a skilled therapist, this goodwill can form the foundation for renewed or deeper closeness and sharing. Whether you are in a gender-diverse, heterosexual, same-sex or polyamorous relationship, psychotherapy can support you and your partner. The FAQ, Philosophy and How to Select a Therapist pages may also be helpful in answering any questions you may have.

Couples and relationship counseling can help you:

  • Reconnect emotionally
  • Affirm or renew your commitment to one another
  • Cultivate a stronger and more resilient bond
  • Cultivate the opportunities for shared learning and development that can spring from the thoughtful exploration of your problems or difficulties
  • Understand one another and your strengths and vulnerabilities in relationship
  • Understand the correlation between your early lives and your experience in relationships
  • Understand and express your needs authentically
  • Understand what most strengthens your feelings of closeness and attachment
  • Develop strategies and skills for managing and resolving habitual tensions or conflicts and for communicating more effectively when stressed
  • Develop or adopt rituals or practices that will support and nurture your life as a couple
  • Develop your capacity for self-reflection, intimacy and trust, as well as emotional regulation when arguing or distressed
  • Expand your capacity for emotional and sexual intimacy
  • Negotiate agreements, including agreements to change your relationship paradigm or status
  • Rebuild trust and safety after an affair
  • Cope with divorce, remarriage, financial or employment stresses, loss, grief, parenting conflicts, cultural tensions, a personal history of trauma, depression, anxiety, disability, illness, care-giving or aging, or any other source of stress or adjustment in your lives
  • Plan for significant life changes, including marriage, child birth, adoption, relocation, retirement, separation or co-parenting after divorce
  • Cope with infertility or the loss of a pregnancy

Internships

We offer a supportive private practice internship program, allowing pre-licensed clinicians (AMFT/ASW/APCC) to earn an income, accrue hours towards licensure and develop the clinical and entrepreneurial skills required for success in private practice. During the Coronavirus pandemic, we are continuing to accept new associates, helping them to launch practices as teletherapists. We also occasionally accept newly licensed clinicians, helping them to launch their private practice careers.

Services

In response to the Coronavirus, we now focus on providing teletherapy (therapy by phone and video) to our clients. Teletherapy can be helpful to individuals of all ages, including children and teenagers. Couples and families can also benefit from the convenience, flexibility and effectiveness of teletherapy. Please call or write us today to learn more about our services.
