Why Couples Come to Therapy
Couples seek therapy for many different reasons. Some come in crisis, while others are looking to strengthen their connection before things become more difficult. Common reasons include:
​
-
Communication breakdowns or frequent conflict
-
Emotional disconnection or intimacy concerns
-
Recovering from betrayal, secrecy, or emotional injury
-
Navigating parenting, adoption, or caregiving challenges
-
Differences in values, identity, or needs
-
Life transitions, grief, or stress that impact the relationship
-
A desire to build or repair trust
-
Intimacy needs and to build a better sex life
We also support couples where trauma, neurodivergence, or marginalized identities play a role in the relationship. We understand how external systems like racism, transphobia, ableism, or adoption loss can deeply affect emotional safety and closeness.
How we Work
