Couples Therapy and Relationship Counseling
Comprehensive Support for Couples and Relationships
Our therapists are trained in a variety of couples therapy modalities, including Emotion Focused Therapy and The Gottman Method. We support relationships of all types, including newer dating relationships, married couples, and couples navigating divorce or requiring discernment counseling. Common concerns we help couples with include communication issues, division of labor and responsibility, family of origin and attachment issues, and sexual compatibility counseling. We are a poly/kink-affirming practice, providing affirming therapy to support diverse relationship structures.
Relationship Counseling for New Parents
Relationships change after having a baby. With less time, less sleep, and new priorities, many couples describe feeling disconnected from their partners. What’s more, the identity changes and new responsibilities that come with becoming a parent can feel challenging to navigate as a couple. Our team provides specialized, effective support for couples navigating relationship concerns after having a baby. Whether it’s addressing concerns around division of labor, navigating the “roommate” stage of your relationships, addressing desire discrepancies, or targeting feelings of resentment, we are here to help.
Therapy for LGBTQIA Relationships
Our practice is dedicated to providing LGBTQIA-friendly relationship therapy, ensuring that all clients receive the support they need in a safe and affirming environment. Our team has significant experience working with queer and trans couples building their families and navigating parenthood. Caren Ann Appel, LCSW, MA has specialized experience providing informed and affirming care for couples where a partner is undergoing gender transition.
Supporting Couples through Grief
Staying connected as a couple through grief and loss can be incredibly difficult. Even if the loss is shared, each partner’s experience of grief can be different, leading to a sense of distance. Our team is trained to support couples through grief and loss, including couples navigating pregnancy or neonatal loss, or those parenting while grieving.
Breakups, Divorce, and Discernment Counseling
Navigating the end of a relationship with care and compassion for all parties is a difficult but important part of relationship counseling. Our team is trained to provide discernment counseling for couples considering separation or divorce, as well as supporting couples through the end of a dating relationship.
