Couples Counseling
Couples counseling in Boston for dual-career partners
Strengthen your relationship without neglecting either career
How we help
People in high-pressure careers often have less time and patience for the relationship. We focus on current stress, recurring conflicts, and specific changes that both partners can make.
Who we help
You may have little time together, feel irritable or distant, or repeat the same arguments without resolving them. A psychologist can help both of you protect the relationship without treating either career as the problem.
We work with dual-career couples and other partners facing:
- Conversations focused on logistics, with little time for personal connection
- Recurring conflicts that end without resolution
- Career decisions that require one or both partners to make difficult trade-offs
- Loss of trust after a specific breach or a long period of disconnection
- Difficult decisions about your future together
Our approach
Practical — Techniques you can use immediately.
Collaborative — We analyze, challenge, and problem-solve together.
Grounded in expertise — Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and other evidence-based methods tailored to both partners.

FAQ
What types of relationship issues do you help with?
We help with recurring conflict, communication problems, loss of trust or intimacy, major decisions, life transitions, and career pressure that affects the relationship.
Do both partners need to attend every session?
Couples counseling usually involves both partners. Your psychologist may also recommend an individual session when it would help the work, but the relationship remains the focus.
How long does couples counseling typically take?
It depends on the problem, your goals, and how established the patterns are. Some couples work with us for a few months; others need longer. Your psychologist will review progress with both of you as the work continues.
What if my partner is reluctant to try therapy?
That is common. A consultation can help both of you understand what couples counseling would involve and decide whether you are willing to participate. The work is most useful when both partners agree to engage.
Do you offer teletherapy for couples?
Yes. We offer virtual couples sessions when both partners are in a state where the psychologist is licensed. Our team can confirm availability for your locations.
What should we expect in our first session?
Your psychologist will hear each partner's view of the problem, ask about the relationship, and clarify what each of you wants to change. Together, you will identify the first priorities for the work.
