Choose the path that fits where you are

Every couple is different. We offer three program types designed to match your unique situation, goals, and pace.

Premarital

Premarital & Pre-Commitment

"We want to have the tough conversations now, so our future is built on trust and clarity."

You are excited about your future but want to feel more prepared. Learn to navigate conflict constructively, align on values and expectations, and build a strong foundation before challenges arise. Fully tailored to your unique relationship.

Typically 4 to 6 sessions at your pace Learn More
Short-Term

Short-Term Couples Therapy

"We want to improve our communication and feel more deeply connected."

A good fit if you have a specific issue to work through: a recent conflict, transition, or breach of trust. You feel like you have lost your way and want to return to a place of love and lightness with practical, focused support.

Typically 4 to 6 sessions, 1 to 2 weeks apart Learn More
Long-Term

Long-Term Couples Therapy

"We have been deeply struggling and feel emotionally distant from each other."

For couples navigating deep disconnection, resentment, or uncertainty about the relationship's future. This program offers the space and time to find clarity, rebuild trust, and reconnect, or gain the insight needed to move forward with compassion.

Weekly for 2 to 3 months, then biweekly Learn More

Couples Communication Workshop

Not ready for ongoing therapy, or just want to start somewhere? This one-time workshop gives you real tools to take home the same day.

One-Time Workshop

A Clear Framework for Conflict That Actually Works

Many couples want to communicate better, but don't know where to start. This workshop gives you exactly that: a clear framework for understanding what's really happening during disagreements, and practical tools to navigate conflict with more ease, empathy, and effectiveness.

Drawing from the Gottman Method's Conflict Blueprint, you'll walk away with strategies you can use immediately and a shared language for talking through hard moments together.

Evidence-Based Methods

How we help couples reconnect

Our therapists are trained in research-backed approaches that go deeper than surface-level communication skills.

Gottman Method Learn More

Drawn from decades of relationship research, the Gottman Method helps couples understand conflict patterns, build friendship, and increase emotional intimacy so you can turn toward each other, even when things get hard.

Attachment Theory Learn More

We help you explore your attachment styles and understand how early relational patterns shape your current dynamic, creating a path toward a more secure, trusting bond.

Sharing the Mental Load Learn More

We talk openly about the invisible labor of relationships including emotional caretaking, household mental load, and decision fatigue, and help you build a more equitable, respectful partnership.

Mindfulness & Co-Regulation Learn More

Learn to stay present with each other, regulate your nervous systems during disagreements, and connect on a deeper, more embodied level together.

Session & Workshop Fees

60-minute couples session $170
Couples Communication Workshop (2 hrs) $299 intro offer

Couples therapy and workshop fees are private-pay only. Insurance companies require a diagnosis for one partner in order to provide coverage, but in couples work we do not view one person as the problem. We focus on the relationship as a whole. HSA and FSA funds may be accepted. We offer different session lengths and flexible spacing to help manage costs.
