The same fight, on a loop
You're having the same disagreement weekly — about night feeds, in-laws, money, screen time, sex — and neither of you is convinced the other has actually heard you yet.
Our Approach
Couples counseling for the season nobody warned you about.
The transition into parenthood reshapes a relationship in ways most couples are not prepared for. Sleep collapses, roles shift, expectations diverge, intimacy changes, and the smallest disagreements can carry weight they didn't carry before. Couples counseling at our practice is for the partners who are willing to look at it together, instead of letting it solidify in silence.
What it is
Structured, evidence-informed work for couples in transition.
Our couples counseling is delivered by licensed clinicians trained in evidence-based approaches including Gottman Method principles, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and integrative perinatal-specific frameworks. Sessions are typically 50–80 minutes, weekly or every other week, with both partners present.
The work is not about who is "right." It is about the patterns the two of you have fallen into, what those patterns are doing to each of you, and what a different version could look like — without erasing what you've already weathered together.
When couples come in
The recognizable moments that bring partners to therapy.
Most couples don't show up because of one big rupture. They show up because something has been quietly off for months and the perinatal year has made it impossible to keep ignoring.
Disconnection after birth
You used to laugh together. Now you tag-team. The relationship feels operational, not connected, and neither of you is sure when that shifted.
Pregnancy or postpartum has surfaced something old
The transition into parenting has activated patterns from each of your families of origin in ways you hadn't anticipated.
Loss, grief, and what comes after
Miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, or fertility treatment has been carried by both of you in different ways — and you're not sure how to make space for both.
How the work moves
Three or four arcs over a course of care.
Most couples we see move through a recognizable shape over 8–20 sessions: an early phase of de-escalation and shared understanding of the pattern; a middle phase of new conversations that wouldn't have been possible at the start; and a closing phase of integration where the couple consolidates what changed and decides whether to continue, pause, or move to maintenance.
The work is honest. We will not pretend the marriage is fine when it isn't, and we will not pretend it is broken when it isn't. We help you see what is actually there.
