Couples & Relationship Counseling

Are you and your partner feeling stuck? Do you feel like you have the same fight over and over again? Has the intimacy and affection you once had fallen away, leaving conflict and distrust? Do you struggle with talking to your partner about what really matters? Are you thinking about breaking up? Did you used to have an exciting sexual relationship but now the spark is gone? Do you have sexual desires you are afraid to talk with your partner about?Does one of you always seem to want more sex than the other? Thinking about opening your relationship? Are you in polyamorous relationships but struggling to find balance and meet everyone’s needs?

Intimate relationships are a powerful crucible which can cement longstanding patterns or cultivate profound change. They create chances to learn about our deepest psychological patterns and transform ourselves in ways that not only enhance our relationships but our whole lives. We offer couple and relationship counseling that can help you understand and transform the patterns that are keeping you and your relationship partner(s) from connecting the way you want — emotionally, psychologically, and sexually.

At Positive Regard Therapy, our approach to couples & relationships counseling is sex-positive and kink-knowledgable. We have training and experience to help those in relationships with their sexual desires without shaming them.

All too often, we meet with clients who've seen another professional and had a negative experience. Even if you don't decide to work with us, please do shop around and ask questions until you find a supportive therapist you trust.
