We offer therapy for individuals, pairs, and non-monogamous relationships navigating significant dynamics — with clinical support, a neutral third party, and a genuine investment in helping you find a way forward together.
All relationships deserve real support.
A parent and adult child who can't find common ground. Siblings carrying decades of unresolved history. Close friends navigating a rupture neither knows how to repair. Co-parents trying to put a child first when things between them are strained. These relationships matter. Non-monogamous relationships looking to establish boundaries and open communication.
At the Artful Life, relationship therapy brings people into a shared space with a neutral, skilled clinician whose job isn't to take sides, but to help everyone understand what's actually happening beneath the dynamic, and what might be possible if the pattern changed. Without this space, most people default to the same arguments, the same silences, the same distances. Relationship therapy doesn't guarantee resolution. But it gives both people a real chance at one.
What relationship therapy tends to make possible:
Any significant relationship in your life.
Maybe you're a part of a couple that's just starting out, or a more established partnership or marriage. Non-monogamous relationships looking to establish boundaries and open communication. Or perhaps it's a parent and adult child relationship, siblings, close friends, co-parents, and colleagues, too.
Anyone who is looking for something more focused on the relational dynamic than a couple-specific therapy approach. If the relationship matters to you and something feels stuck, this is a space for it.
Yes. Relationship therapy works best when everyone involved is willing to engage. Your therapist can also work with you individually on a relationship that the other person isn't ready to address together.
Family therapy tends to address the broader family system, often involving multiple members across generations. Relationship therapy is more focused — zeroing in on the specific dynamic between two or a small number of people. The two can complement each other and may run concurrently depending on what you're working through.
Sessions draw on evidence-based frameworks like IFS, CBT, and DBT, with creative and expressive approaches woven in where they fit. The specific modalities depend on who is in the room, what the dynamic involves, and what your therapist feels will best serve the work.
