Relationship Therapy

MBT · Person-Centered · Feminist

Relationship therapy helps couples and partners understand what's actually happening beneath the arguments. By strengthening each partner's ability to mentalize — to see themselves from the outside and the other from the inside — reactive patterns give way to empathy. A person-centered and feminist-informed lens ensures that power dynamics and each partner's autonomy are part of the conversation. Whether you're working through conflict, rebuilding trust, or trying to reconnect, MBT provides the framework.

What to Expect

Sessions slow down the reactive moments — the ones where you're sure you know what your partner meant, but you're wrong. Using mentalization principles, we help each person understand not just what their partner is doing, but what they might be feeling underneath. That shift from assumption to curiosity is where real repair starts.

Who This Is For

Couples experiencing communication breakdowns
Partners working through trust issues or infidelity recovery
Relationships affected by one partner's personality disorder
Couples seeking to deepen emotional intimacy and connection

Our Approach

Rather than teaching scripted communication techniques, we focus on building each partner's capacity to mentalize — to hold the other person's perspective in mind even during conflict. A feminist-informed lens helps us attend to power dynamics and societal influences that shape relationship patterns, while person-centered principles ensure that each partner's experience is validated and respected. This creates lasting change because it addresses the root of relational difficulty, not just the surface behaviors.
