Marriage &
Couples Support

You care deeply about your partner and your relationship, and you want to feel close and connected.  Maybe you want to start a family or the family you have is not what you expected it to be.  

Sometimes when a couple start to have kids, the experience opens up new areas of stress in the relationship. Such as fatigue and disconnection which can lead to resentment. You begin exploring what it means to be a parent, how you were raised, and whether you want to repeat those patterns of your own childhood.  

Perhaps you disagree on parenting ideals or you’re on the same page, but you can’t seem to do what you both know is best. Your relationship can’t move backwards- it will never be what it once was, but the good news that with support your relationship can move forward into something better, more connected and deeper. Shapiro Psych Marriage and Couples therapy can help to lead to a brighter future! 

Do any of these sound familiar? 

​

• New conflict with your partner since the baby was born

• Resentment is building up between you and your partner

• Loss of physical relationship/ intimacy

• You’re not getting any time to yourself

• You’re often angry, sad, frustrated or lonely

• Communication feels off- you’re always either fighting or avoiding each other, and it feels like your partner doesn’t “get” you anymore

• You or your partner are starting to parent like your parents did- using shame to control, not validating your kids feelings, scolding often and using harsh physical punishments.

​

Whether or not you’ve been to individual therapy or tried couples therapy before, therapy that focuses on attachment (how our childhood relationships with our caregivers shape how we relate to our partners today) and communication can help you feel deeply understood, loved, validated and seen.
