Couples Therapy

Sexual Challenges

Unsatisfying sex, misaligned sexual drives or interests, sexual anxiety, pain during sex, histories of sexual trauma, religious trauma, unspoken kink or BDSM desires, or difficulty in sexual connection can strain relationships. Couples therapy can be the path back to reconnection, or to building a satisfying connection for the first time.

Ethical Nonmonogomy

Relationship configurations come in many shapes, and configurations may change or evolve. Like all relationships, ethical nonmonogomy or polyamorous relationships require excellent communication and support. Elevate Psychology can help you navigate your relationship with open communication, care, and values-aligned commitments.

Betrayals and Affairs

Relationships are foundationally built on trust, and there are many ways for that trust to be broken. In many cases, it is possible to repair from a physical or emotional affair and build a relationship with a rock-solid foundation. Couples therapy can help you walk the path back to each other.

Health Challenges

Illness and disability can change all aspects of our lives, and our relationships are no different. When a partner doubles as a caretaker, it can shift relationship dynamics to something new, and no one feels their most romantic while experiencing chronic pain, recovering from surgeries, or undergoing chemo. Whether it’s illness or injury impacting one or both partners or a medically complicated child reqiring extra care, energy, and resources, couples threapy can help you stay connected to your relationship and each other.

Gender or Orientation Shifts

People change, shift, and grow, and that shift can require relationships to change, shift, and grow along with them. Whether one member of the relationship is questioning their sexual orientation or gender, or has come out of the closet, processing those changes may require support for both parties. Elevate Psychology specializes in couples where one member comes out or transitions, and parents of LGBTQIA+ youth.

Mixed Neurotype Couples

Communication between members of a couple is always both an art and science, but it can require more tools if each member has a different way of processing information about the world. Whether two members are both neurodivergent in unique ways or you are part of a split neurodivergent/neurotypical couple, Elevate Psychology can help you both feel and be heard.

Couples in Grief

Grief and loss are deeply personal experiences that can cause us to turn inwards. Whether you have experienced loss of a child, collective trauma as a couple, infertility journeys, or other events that have shaken the foundations of life, couples therapy can help you lean together instead of being sheared apart.

Life Transitions

Changes to the demands of life can have significant impact on relationships. Whether you are bringing home a new child, becoming caretakers to aging parents, becoming empty-nesters, or shifting careers, couples therapy can help you stay connected and supported.
