Why Couples Therapy Is a Good Idea
The honeymoon is over, but not for lack of trying.
You’re starting to realize that baggage from the past is holding you and your partner back.
You find yourself pulling away or losing your temper even when you just want to feel close and connected. Your sex life is lacking.
If you don’t do something soon, you’re likely to keep making the same mistakes over and over.Â
Couples Therapy can help.Â
Investing in your relationship is an investment in your overall happiness and well-being.

Our Couples Therapists
Can Couples Therapy Save a Relationship?
One or both of you have a history of trauma. Substance abuse may have created trust issues and painful memories. But, even though you are trying constantly, you can’t seem to talk things out and let it go.
These are things that a skilled trauma-informed couples therapist can help you heal.
But, of course, it’s not all just up to the therapist.

All Things That Matter in Life Require a Little Work
Disney movies might give the impression that Happily Ever After is simple. But, in reality, it takes some work. An investment in your relationship is an investment in you. Studies* show that having strong relationships is the #1 factor in life happiness and fulfillment.Â
Some tips that help ensure couples therapy works for you include:
- Readiness for change
- Openness
- Honesty
- Able to follow through
Sex Therapy
Many things happen in life that can cause intimacy problems. Sexual abuse, negative messages in your youth, body image issues, libido changes, menopause…
Without help, many people suffer with feelings of inadequacy and loneliness for years. Marriages disrupt. Depression can grow.Â
Sex therapy with a trauma therapist means that not only will you get an expert at helping you reignite your sex life, but that expert will know how to help you enjoy it even when one or more of you has a history of trauma.Â
Why wait?Â
