Who can benefit from couples therapy and marriage counseling in Denver?

At Alchemy Therapy & Wellness, we believe that all couples can benefit from couples therapy and marriage counseling. Whether you or your partner are struggling with conflict, disconnection, physical intimacy or sexual issues, infidelity, pregnancy loss, new parenthood, substance use or addiction, negative communication patterns, or mental health issues, couples therapy can help.

Couples therapy is not just for married couples. Couples therapy can also be beneficial for new couples, unmarried couples, divorced couples that are co-parenting, couples contemplating separation or divorce, LGBTQIA+ couples, non-traditional couples (open relationships, polyamorous couples), and couples of all backgrounds.

Starting couples therapy can feel terrifying, but making the decision to start couples therapy or marriage counseling is a huge step. That’s where I come in.

How I help

I understand the challenges of relationships, and work hard to create a non-judgmental environment that allows you and your partner to be honest and open about your struggles. One of my main goals as a couples therapist in Denver is to truly understand each of you as individuals, as well as understand your relationship, and the dynamic within the relationship.

I understand that when you begin couples therapy or marriage counseling, that you are looking for solutions to your problems. I’m here to help you find creative solutions, and make lasting changes in your relationship. With that in mind, we don’t just focus on the negative. In my work with couples, I help them identify the positive aspects of their relationships as well, as a way to help identify what we want to create more of in the relationship, and leave behind what is no longer working for you and your partner.

As a trained couples therapist, I implement a combination of traditional and alternative approaches to help you and your partner make lasting changes in your relationship. I use methods from the Gottman Method, as well as attachment-focused therapy. With these methods, the goal is to help you improve communication, repair conflict in a healthy way, restore intimacy, and get to the root of the unhealthy relationship cycle that has gone on too long.

How couples therapy and marriage counseling in Denver works

Schedule your free 15 minute phone consultation. During our phone consultation with you and your partner, we will get to know each other and decide if we will be a good fit to work together. I will share more about the work that I do and I’ll make sure all of your questions are answered, and we can decide if we’re a good fit to start working together. Click here to schedule!

Complete your intake sessions. In the work that I do as a couples therapist, we will meet for an intake session with the three of us all together to explore what problems you are facing in your relationship, discuss your relationship history, and identify your goals for couples therapy. After our first couples intake session, I will meet with you each individually. This is a crucial aspect of the couples therapy I provide because it helps me understand your individual history and goals, and make sure that I understand exactly what you are experiencing in the relationship, so I can help you meet your goals.

Continue the couples work. After the individual sessions with each of you, we will come back together for a couples therapy session and begin working on your treatment goals. Consistency is key and I recommend starting with weekly, or sessions every other week to start. Sessions are available in person in my Denver office, as well as on telehealth if that is more convenient for you and your partner.
