Couples Counseling

Every couple fights once in a while. It’s a normal, and even healthy, part of most relationships. However, when the frequency and seriousness of your fights start affecting your health and well-being, it may be time to speak with a professional. A therapist specializing in couples counseling is trained to help you and your partner(s) develop tools to better communicate (and fight constructively), help you achieve goals together, or move past a specific event or cause of conflict (such as infidelity, sex, or household duties). In addition to helping those in a relationship have a healthier partnership, couples counseling can also be helpful if you and your partner are considering a breakup or a divorce – having a professional guide you can aide the both of you in making an informed decision. Think it might be time to give couples counseling a try? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s couples counseling experts today.

Partners often find themselves trapped in a loop of the same arguments that never get resolved. Those recurring arguments, even if they're just about dirty dishes, always point to something bigger. This something bigger is the "thing behind the thing." Whether through individual, couples, or family therapy, we can work together to find the "thing behind the thing" and finally put an end to disagreements.

Couples therapy almost always begins with understanding how to communicate well, but often involves a more significant reorientation to the other person. People can become stuck in a cycle of repeated arguments, stale routines, or simply find themselves drifting apart.However, couples therapy not only addresses what is going wrong in a relationship, but increases what is going right. Whether you have been together for years or are just getting started, couples therapy can help

I use my training in couples therapy most frequently with couples who find themselves in unmapped territory. Sometimes this is due to life plans not working out, which means developing a new vision together. Sometimes a trauma or betrayal has occurred. I specialize in ​relationship therapy for gay, lesbian, and bi-sexual clients. I also work with relationships where one or more people are gender non-conforming. In particular, I'm experienced in working with couples where one person is considering a gender transition.
