Relationship Counseling

Conflict in relationship is not a bad thing. All relationships encounter difficulties and points of misalignment. It is how we work through those that matters. And sometimes we all need some guidance.

Let us help you with the how.

Read on for areas we help with:

Consensual Non-Monogamy

There are often road bumps when practicing or considering ethical non-monogamy. We work with couples in or considering alternative relationship structures to help with common issues that come up in polyamory or CNM:

• Jealousy

• Time management

• Establishing relationship agreements

• Disclosure to others, etc.

We understand the nuances of navigating issues that arise when the structure of monogamy is not present. We also know the deep joy, fulfillment, and closeness that couples can experience through open relationships.

AdDing to the family and life with children

Becoming a parent—especially the process of trying to conceive and navigating the transition with a new baby—can challenge even the strongest of relationships.

Managing the stresses of parenthood with small children and little time for yourself can take a toll.

We can help you improve communication, balance the mental load, reconnect with each other and yourselves individually, and appreciate the here-and-now—chaos and all.

Ongoing communication struggles

We don’t exactly get a manual for how to navigate relationship issues. And we all come to relationships with our own histories.

Sometimes this might be trauma

Throughout the course of any relationship, there will be times when couples feel challenged or disconnected, when things feel bleak.

Breaches in trust, built-up resentment, frequent bickering, sexual misalignment, differences in values and priorities, or simply wanting to strengthen skills of communication are all good reasons to get support.
