Couples Therapy
Strong Relationships Don’t Just Happen.
If you’re looking for a therapist, you’ve probably already taken some steps on your own to fix a problem that keeps coming up in your relationship. Maybe it’s a communication breakdown, or an unhealthy pattern you keep getting stuck in. Whatever it is, trying harder just isn’t working.
In fact, simply trying harder without learning to do something different can be incredibly painful.
That’s where we come in. Our couples therapists are here to help you update your relationship toolkit to navigate new challenges as they come up, or to address old issues that haven’t been resolved.
At Stella Nova, we offer high quality online couples therapy, with services from $192 per 60-minute session.
Couples seek therapy for reasons as diverse as the clients we serve.
- Learning skills for communicating with each other better
- Preparing for a big transition like marriage or having kids
- Navigating cross-cultural differences like race or religion
- Becoming a stronger and more skilled coparenting team
- Figuring out how to move forward after a hurt or betrayal
- Addressing differences in sex drive, needs, and expectations
- Dealing with how past traumatic experiences are impacting a relationship today
- Resolving conflict around money and division of household labor
- Negotiating nonmonogamy or polyamorous relationship structures
- Deciding whether or not to stay together
- Breaking out of painful patterns that you keep repeating
Meet Megan, Online Couples Therapist
If your relationship is stuck in the same unhealthy patterns, I’m here to help.
As a Gottman-trained couples therapist, I can help you build the toolkit you need to improve your connection. We’ll build on your strengths, and figure out what skills you need to work on developing together. I work to make sure each partner feels seen and heard.
I strive to be a strong ally to LGBTQ+ communities, and welcome couples of all genders and sexual orientations.
Whether you’re struggling to move past a conflict, or looking to improve your communication, I invite you to reach out and schedule a free consultation!
What to expect in couples therapy at Stella Nova
Your therapist will work to get to know you and your partner together as a couple, and will also get to know your individual concerns and hopes for the relationship.
Then they’ll help you identify the places you’re stuck, and work with you to clarify options for how to move forward. This could involve learning new skills, practicing different ways of interacting with each, or supporting you to have difficult conversations.
Support for Love’s Many Forms
Stella Nova is an LGBTQ+ affirming practice that welcomes relationships of all genders and sexual orientations, including kinky and non-monogamous relationships.
Getting Started
The first step to connect with a therapist is to schedule a free consultation call with our Intake Coordinator, Cami. She’ll chat with you about your needs and hopes for therapy so that she can match you with the best fit for you.
We encourage you and your partner to attend that initial consultation call together. But if you’re researching options for the two of you, we also welcome you speak with us one-on-one first. If you decide to move forward with us, you’ll both have time to share your story and perspective during your first session with the therapist.
