This offering is for clinicians who want sharp, grounded support when couple work gets complicated. If you’re hitting a wall with a high conflict couple, feeling unsure how to structure sessions, or watching the same cycle repeat every week, individual consultation gives you a place to slow things down, see the pattern clearly, and leave with a plan you can actually use.

Couples work can pull therapists into familiar roles fast—mediator, rescuer, judge, parent, peacekeeper. Sometimes the hardest part is what the couple evokes in us. In Individual Consultation is a place to track those pulls, work with countertransference and internal activation, and return to a clear, steady, boundaried stance even when the room is intense.

We’ll focus on what’s happening in the room in real time. Escalation, blame/shame spirals, stonewalling, attachment wounds, disclosure fallout, fragile reconciliation, mixed motivation, and that feeling of “I can’t get traction with these two.” We’ll work on pacing, language, boundaries, and how to hold both partners without getting pulled into referee mode.

We can map the cycle, clarify the core injuries underlying the conflict, and build a step-by-step approach for the next few sessions. We can also talk about your own internal experience as the therapist, because sometimes the wall is the couple… and sometimes it’s what the couple activates in us.
