Relationships are Hard. Therapy Can Help.
Relationship psychotherapy is counseling for couples (premarital, married / partnered, or separated / divorced) and those in open, polyamorous and polycule relationships. In relationship psychotherapy, two or more adult clients work with a trained mental health therapist in a series of safe, affirming, and confidential sessions.
Relationship therapy is collaborative and uses multiple therapeutic tools to help clients learn more about each other – to uncover relationship problems and patterns and their source(s), and help create communication strategies to move forward more effectively. Relationship Therapy can help partners:
- Build intimacy and resolve relationship crises
- Understand the priorities, pain and needs of people with whom you are in a relationship
- Re-establish connections and trust, set boundaries
- Resolve conflicts, communication problems
- Identify patterns of conflicts and their underlying sources
- Need your help with a new bullet about sexual orientation / gender expression & identity, help when one partner in a relationship comes out or is experiencing issues related to expression of their true self… not sure how to structure it
- Navigate transitions: such as when someone in the relationship is exploring gender expression and identity, or sexual orientation
- Discuss sex & intimacy, fertility / infertility, pregnancy / postpartum, infidelity
- Explore kink & sex positivity
- Navigate the intersectionality of racial, cultural, religious or ethnic identities
- Communicate effectively regarding stressors such as money, moving, children, jobs, extended family, etc.

IntraSpectrum Counseling unequivocally denounces the recent surge in anti-transgender rhetoric and the scapegoating of transgender people in the aftermath of recent shootings. Such rhetoric is baseless and deeply harmful, fostering stigma, discrimination, and potential violence against an already marginalized community. We stand firmly with transgender and nonbinary individuals, and reaffirm our commitment to providing affirming, compassionate, and inclusive care. We urge community leaders, media outlets, and the public to reject misinformation and prejudice, and to work collectively toward equity, dignity, and justice for all people.
