Couples Therapy
Communication, intimacy, and repair—done with care.
Whether you’re in a long-term partnership, opening a relationship, or re-building after a rupture, our work centers connection, consent, and choice. We’re inclusive of monogamous and non-monogamous dynamics, kink-aware, and sex-positive.
At Transcendent Self Therapy, we welcome couples of all relational constructions—monogamous, polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and everything in between. We believe that love and intimacy take many forms, and each partnership deserves a space where it can be seen, nurtured, and strengthened without judgment. Our work is kink-knowledgeable and sex-positive, affirming the wide spectrum of sexual orientations, identities, and desires that make each relationship unique.
In our sessions, we hold space for you and your partner(s) to slow down, listen, and rediscover one another in ways that everyday life rarely allows. Alongside in-session exploration, we may offer structured exercises to practice at home, so the work you do in therapy becomes woven into the fabric of your daily life.
We also bring specialized training in sex and sexuality, allowing us to support couples who want to address intimacy challenges, rediscover passion, or create a more expansive and authentic sexual connection. Whether you are working through struggles with trust, rebuilding after ruptures, navigating differences in desire, or simply longing to strengthen your bond, therapy can become a grounding space to reconnect and grow.
Sessions are 60 minutes and held weekly, offering a steady rhythm of support and reflection. Our aim is to help you cultivate a relationship that feels not only sustainable, but alive with curiosity, joy, and deeper connection.

How we work (clear, practical, evidence-informed)
Communication you can use today. We build skills—listening, repair attempts, de-escalation—that lower heat and increase empathy.
Attachment + autonomy in balance. We honor each partner’s needs and identities while strengthening the “us.”
Sex therapy that isn’t awkward. Gentle, shame-free support for desire, arousal, pain, and mismatched libido—aligned with your values and boundaries.
Developmental Model lens. We locate where your relationship is developmentally and tailor goals accordingly—so change feels timely and doable.
What sessions look like
Format: Weekly 60-minute sessions
First 1–2 sessions: Your story, what hurts, what’s worked, what hasn’t
Assessment: Relationship strengths, stuck patterns, nervous-system triggers
Plan: Clear goals + exercises to practice between sessions
Results we’re aiming for: fewer arguments, more safety, more closeness—and a way to repair when you miss.
For non-monogamous & kink-practicing couples
We respect your structures and agreements. We’ll help with boundary-setting, jealousy, repair, and equitable labor—without pathologizing your choices. Our stance is sex-positive and consent-forward.
