Couples & Relational Dynamics Therapy in Inver Grove Heights

What This Therapy Addresses

Recurring conflict that follows the same pattern regardless of the specific topic

Attachment injuries, moments of betrayal or disconnection that continue to affect trust long after they occurred

Communication breakdowns where both partners feel unheard despite genuinely trying

Navigating non-monogamy, polyamory, or other alternative relationship structures with intention and clear agreements

A gradual loss of emotional or physical closeness that neither partner fully understands

Major relationship transitions, including combining households, blending families, or renegotiating relationship structure

Our Approach to Relational Work

Emotion-Focused Therapy, addressing the underlying attachment needs and fears driving repeated conflict patterns, not just the surface argument

Direct work on attachment injuries, helping couples understand and repair specific moments of relational rupture

Affirming, non-judgmental support for consensual non-monogamy and alternative relationship structures, without assuming monogamy as the default or the goal

Practical communication skill-building alongside the deeper emotional work

A collaborative approach where both partners' needs and perspectives genuinely shape the direction of treatment
