Issues Addressed in Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is designed to heal relational ruptures, bridge communication gaps, and restore secure intimacy in partnerships challenged by external and internal pressures.

  • Mixed-Faith Conflict & Values Clash: Navigating profound differences in beliefs, helping partners stabilize the relationship, and de-triangulating from external systems.

  • Desire Discrepancy: Bridging the gap created by mismatched libido and helping partners create a new, shared, shame-free sexual script.

  • Sexual Shame & Avoidance: Addressing relational disconnect where purity culture trauma or guilt has caused one or both partners to shut down intimacy.

  • OCSB & Betrayal Trauma: Healing the relational system following Out-of-Control Sexual Behavior by stabilizing the partnership and repairing trust.

  • Intimacy After Trauma: Addressing hypervigilance, dissociation, or emotional detachment that prevents partners from feeling safe and present with each other.

  • Complex Dynamics: Counseling for neuro-spicy differences (e.g., ADHD) that impact communication, or managing conflict within Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) structures.

  • Perinatal Intimacy Strain: Supporting couples through changes in sexual function, desire, and relational roles during the transition to parenthood.
