Relationship struggles don't always look dramatic from the outside. Many adults in West Los Angeles navigate quiet disconnection, recurring conflict, or uncertainty about a relationship while still showing up every day.
SOMETIMES THE HARDEST PART IS NOT KNOWING HOW TO SAY WHAT YOU NEED.
Relationship therapy isn't only for crises. It can help with communication, trust, boundaries, or simply feeling more connected to the people in your life.
Forms of relationship struggles we help with.
Relationship therapy isn't just for romantic partnerships. We work with the patterns that affect how you connect in dating, marriage, family, friendships, and beyond.
Trust and betrayal
Rebuilding safety and trust after infidelity, dishonesty, or broken promises.
Attachment patterns
Understanding the anxious, avoidant, or inconsistent patterns that show up in close relationships.
Conflict and recurring arguments
Breaking cycles of criticism, defensiveness, or shutting down during disagreements.
Boundaries and people-pleasing

Channing GreenbergQuestions about relationship therapy.
Is relationship therapy different from couples therapy?
Yes. Relationship therapy takes a broader, individualized approach, addressing patterns across romantic partnerships, family, friendships, and work relationships. Couples therapy focuses specifically on the dynamic between two partners.
What are the benefits of relationship therapy?
Relationship therapy improves communication, rebuilds trust, and helps you understand the patterns affecting connection, supporting healthier relationships across every part of your life.
What techniques are used in relationship therapy?
We draw on approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and attachment-based work to strengthen communication and emotional bonds.
Can relationship therapy help with recurring arguments?
Yes. Many people come to therapy stuck in the same conflict cycles. We help identify what's driving the pattern and build new ways of responding to each other.
Does relationship therapy only focus on romantic partners?
No. Relationship therapy looks at patterns across all your closest connections, including family, friendships, dating, and work relationships, not just romantic partnerships.
