Couples THerapy

Communication issues, navigating parenting disagreements, experiencing conflicting needs...you love your partner but some things are just not clicking and sometimes it feels like you are living in different worlds.

I specialize in treating couples living with ADHD and/or Autism, couples experiencing differing neurotypes, high achieving couples, and couples who are raising children with unique needs (such as giftedness, disability, twice-exceptionalism.)

I work best with couples who are ready and motivated to change. If one of you is experiencing addiction or severe psychiatric distress, couples therapy should wait until that has been stabilized.

I am trained in Levels 1 and 2 of Gottman Couples Counseling and level 1 of RLT. I use an eclectic approach to meet the needs of the clients, while still following a structure. I am not a passive couples therapist—we will work hard to identify relational patterns, excavate the “why” behind the problems, and practice new skills in session to work towards creating a healthier relationship.

My approach: In the first session (90 minutes), we will establish goals and do a deep dive into your relationship history as a couple, as well as your family of origin. After the first session, I will do one-on-one sessions with each member (60 minutes each, does not need to be on the same day), and most sessions after that will be all together (60 or 90 minutes, decided by the couple after the first session). I typically assign activities to do outside of session, as that is where the real change happens. Couples sessions will begin either weekly or every-other-week, and then can move into once a month for maintenance. You will walk away from the first session with new tools to help strengthen your relationship, and we will continually check in to see what is working and what needs adjusting.

If you’d like to see if we’d be a good fit, please email me at angela@blossomcounselingco.com to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.
