Strengthen your relationship with yourself.

At Integrative Couples Therapy, we offer individual therapy that is relational in nature. This means that the relationship we form with you, becomes an avenue for your personal growth and healing. It also means that we recognize the influence that all of your relationships have on your wellbeing. Therapy provides a place to reconnect with yourself and move through challenges with support and clarity.

We provide individual therapy for people who want to better understand themselves, feel more grounded, and strengthen their connections with others.

Not all therapy takes relationships into account. Ours does. Many of our clients come to individual therapy because they want to start couples therapy but their partner is not ready to attend. Others are already in couples therapy, and appreciate having a space of their own to explore stress, loss, betrayal, or conflict. Others are navigating anxiety, depression, or trauma that makes it hard to feel steady. Some are managing parenting challenges, habits they want to shift, complex family dynamics, or uncertainty during a life transition.

You might be:

• Wanting space to explore your relationship or marriage

• Struggling with mild to moderate anxiety or worry

• Feeling the weight of chronic sadness or depression

• Navigating difficulties with focus, attention, and motivation

• Carrying grief or loss that feels too heavy to hold alone

• Facing parenting stress or family conflict

• Encountering heartbreak or the end of a relationship

• Managing burnout from caregiving or work

• Moving through a major transition such as becoming a parent, divorce, career changes, blending families, or launching young adults

We can help you feel more secure clear, and connected with yourself in the midst of life’s challenges.

Why work with us for individual therapy?

When you are struggling with relationship stress, it makes sense to work with someone who understands both individual and relational dynamics. As couples therapists, we are trained to see the patterns between people as well as the inner experiences that shape them. We can help you notice what you bring into your relationships, and how to make positive changes that benefit your overall wellbeing.

We do not pathologize relational pain or personal struggles. We hold your experience with compassion and direction.

Therapists trained in couples and family systems are especially skilled at supporting clients with complex emotions around love, belonging, identity, and change. We understand how attachment, family patterns, and nervous system responses influence your life and we bring this knowledge into every session so you feel seen, supported and primed for growth. You do not need to have it all figured out to begin therapy. All that is needed is a willingness to be open with yourself and a safe place to start. We provide that space.
