COUPLES THERAPY

The APPROACH

This is a structured approach to couples therapy, rooted in attachment and somatics. If you are looking to deepen connections, heal from resentment, increase communication or find a path for your relationship, you have come to the right place.

ATTACHMENT

We will focus on your specific attachment style and how this impacts your communication, your intimacy, and relationship to your partner(s).

STRUCTURE

We use a structured approach. We believe that couples come to us after having tried it their way for a long time first. You are going to receive many possible paths for this work and choose the best one for your goals.

SOMATIC

There will be psychoeducation on what part is yours and what parts is your partners to hold. We will be working on nervous system regulation and co-regulation techniques.

Repair is a big part of strengthening a relationship. We will help you learn the skills to speak to one another, offer strategies for repair, and increase connection after a rupture of trust has occurred.

We offer a framework for discussion. We give you questions to ponder and ask each other to deepen your understanding of yourself and your partner(s). We offer paths for the sessions through a framework. We get you out of your current patterns of communication into deeper discussions. We offer homework!

We want to talk about our sex life

Perfect. Many couples want to explore their sex lives and intimacy. Some couples are not satisfied with their current intimacy, some need to ignite a spark, others have never had a safe space to discuss their sexual desires. Therapy is an excellent place to open this discussion with your partner(s)

CONSENUAL NONMONOGAMY

CNM relationships welcome here! We can explore your current CNM relationships or discuss what it would look like to transition from monogamy to CNM. This requires a lot of communication and care to one’s attachment system. We are here to offer our guidance.

Is there a new way for us?

We will help you explore your current dynamic, evaluate what is working and what no longer serves you. It can be hard to grow together over time. Let’s recalibrate.
