Couple Therapy
Are you stuck in a pattern where one of you explodes in frustration while the other shuts down?
Do your arguments feel like they go in circles—or worse, leave you feeling more alone than before?
At the heart of many relationship struggles is a mismatch in how emotions are expressed, received, and understood. Whether emotions erupt in anger or get buried in silence, the result is the same: disconnection, misunderstanding, and pain.
We help couples learn new ways to relate through the powerful framework of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—designed not just for individuals, but for relationships that are ready for change.
What We Focus On:
Accurate Emotional Expression
Learn how to express your emotions clearly and respectfully—without blaming, attacking, or shutting down. DBT skills help you build awareness of your feelings so they don’t take over the conversation.
Emotion Regulation Skills
Instead of reacting impulsively or withdrawing, you’ll gain tools to stay grounded and calm in the heat of the moment. You’ll learn to pause, name what’s going on, and choose a more intentional response.
Validating Communication
Understanding doesn’t mean agreeing—but it does mean listening with empathy. We’ll guide you both in practicing validation: responding to each other in a way that fosters safety, care, and connection.
Breaking Reactive Patterns
Together, we’ll uncover and transform the cycle of emotional outbursts and emotional suppression. You’ll build trust by responding to conflict with openness, not escalation.
