At Fitzroy, our multidisciplinary approach to couples therapy empowers partners to break free from cycles of misunderstanding, disconnection, or resentment, fostering mutual respect, trust, and profound emotional connection.

We integrate psychodynamic therapy, which explores the unconscious patterns and past experiences shaping each partner’s behavior, with Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy, emphasizing emotional honesty, accountability, and personal growth within relationships. Recognizing that each partner brings unique histories—defenses, coping mechanisms, and past wounds—we help couples address these barriers to cultivate deeper closeness.

Strong relationships don’t shy away from conflict; they embrace it as a pathway to growth. At Fitzroy, we guide couples to move beyond reactivity, take ownership of their roles, and build a conscious, connected partnership. Love isn’t something that just happens—it’s crafted intentionally, together, every day.

There are no formulas or quick fixes. Instead, we offer an enduring space to slow down, speak authentically, and transform how partners relate—emotionally, physically, and relationally.

Repair. Reconnect. Reimagine.

 

Couples therapy can help you move beyond cycles of misunderstanding or resentment and into a space of mutual respect, trust, and love.

In couples therapy, Fitzroy supports you to:

  • Rebuild trust where it’s been strained or broken

  • Reignite intimacy, desire, and the spark that first brought you together

  • Move beyond blame and into mutual understanding

  • Navigate conflict with courage, rather than fear or shutdown

  • Hear one another in ways that feel new, meaningful, and nourishing

  • Understand what each of you needs to feel safe, valued, and emotionally connected

Some couples come to reconnect. Others come to separate—with care, clarity, and mutual respect. Whatever the outcome, Fitzroy holds the relationship with deep regard and walks alongside you with compassion, honesty, and a steadfast belief in your capacity to grow.
