Helping Couples build their confidence and ability to trust in their relationship.

Sometimes being in a couple can be a struggle. Perhaps right now, it's one of those times. Most people who start couple therapy feel stuck, repeating the same painful patterns. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you feel like you and your partner are being responsible, and taking care of life, but the fun, sexy, joyful part of your relationship is on the back burner.

Do any of these resonate?

• You try to communicate and connect with your partner, but something is getting lost in translation.

• You want to have meaningful conversations together, but you can’t get the timing right.

• You want the connection that you had when you first met.

If these sound true for you, I want you to know that even though you might feel like a failure for needing help, that couldn't be further from the truth. It takes courage to become aware about what you are going through and ask for help. It's not selfish to prioritize caring for yourself. You don't have to always prioritize work or your family’s needs over your own needs, including the needs of your relationship.

Couple Therapy Can Help You Gain The Courage To Be Your True Selves

It’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could...

• Control how you respond to anxious thoughts in your relationship.

• Figure out who you are together and what direction to go in next.

• Create a more meaningful life based on who you are and what you desire.

• Have the intimacy you want with your partner.

• Have the loving relationship you've always wanted.

Build The Loving Relationships You've Always Wanted

Couple Therapy helps you rise above your challenges and start moving towards your ideal life with less fighting and more loving.

You will get a toolbox of practical actions to help both of you find your way through difficult feelings and situations, and see patterns that you couldn't on your own.

Even if you are not sure how a therapist could help you, couple therapy may be able to help. I've helped couples on the brink of ending things rediscover what made them fall in love in the first place. Through connecting and communicating, couples have been able to get the spark back and fall in love all over again.

My name is Eileen Van Tyne and I am a marriage and family therapist and human who is here to help.

How Couple Therapy Works

Couple Therapy consists of 75-minute sessions with both of you that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will notice and name what I am seeing, share what the science tells us about what's going on for you, and offer practical tools that you can use in day-to-day life.

Here’s how it will work step-by-step:

1. First, I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your struggles with me.
2. Through hearing your story and observing the two of you together, I will start to get a picture of what your challenges are.
3. We will start with helping you with immediate concerns like managing difficult emotions and challenging life situations.
4. We will also work to discover what your goals are in therapy and in life.
5. Keeping your unique goals in mind, we’ll figure out what’s needed to help you reach them
6. Over the course of our sessions, you will start making progress towards the life you desire.

Research shows that Couple Therapy can positively change your thinking, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. It can help you let go of what’s holding you back.
