Communication & Relationship Wellness Therapy in Salt Lake City, UT
Right now, the words just aren't landing. You don't talk to each other like you used to. You just can't communicate what you're feeling or you have no idea what your partner is thinking. You're like ships in the night. The love is still there, the connection just isn't what it used to be. Maybe there are even fights about the dishes, how often you have sex or parenting responsibilities.
Communication trouble looks different in every home. You might be looking for Communication and Relationship Wellness Therapy because you're:
- Having the same argument on repeat with a different label each time
- Walking on eggshells to keep the peace
- Going quiet because speaking up costs too much
- Hearing criticism where your partner meant a request
- Keeping score without meaning to
- Living like efficient roommates instead of partners
- Texting more easily than talking
- Missing the version of you two that used to laugh together
Here, we rebuild the conversation - how you speak, how you listen, and how you stay connected. We dig into topics that frequently lead to arguments, fights and distance. You find out that it's not about the dishes, how often you have sex or the kids. You learn that it is all about each other. You will learn how to validate one another and how to avoid criticism. You will experience clarity in session that will empower you to connect even further during the rest of the week.
I use research-based tools to replace criticism and shutdown with skills that help you feel heard, understood, and on the same team again. Rather than talking to me, I guide you to talk to each other! I remain impartial and unbiased in the conversation, acting as a guide to help you rebuild the relationship to a stronger, healthier place. I will assign you to implement skills and have experiences outside of session that will only help bring you closer together as partners.
It doesn't have to be "you versus your parter." It can be "you two versus the issue."

Format
50 and 90-minute sessions by tele-health available in Utah. Clients report seeing more progress with weekly sessions. This allows for clients to more easily implement new coping strategies and start to see real lasting change occur. I maintain consistent communication with clients concerning the frequency of sessions, allowing for adjustments when needed. Frequency of sessions can adjust to biweekly and monthly as clients progress towards their goals.
