Couples Therapy
A safe place to
Reconnect
If you're reading this, you might be feeling uncertain about whether couples therapy is right for you. Maybe you're worried it means your relationship is "broken," or perhaps you fear that talking about your struggles will make things worse. These concerns are completely normal—and we're here to tell you that seeking support is actually a sign of strength and commitment to your partnership.
What Couples Therapy Can Achieve
Couples therapy isn't just for relationships in crisis. It's a powerful tool for any partnership looking to deepen connection, improve communication, and navigate life's inevitable challenges together. In our work with couples, we focus on:
Improving communication patterns: Learning to express needs clearly and listen with empathy, moving beyond reactive patterns that keep you stuck.
Rebuilding trust and safety: Creating a secure foundation where both partners feel heard, valued, and respected.
Understanding attachment dynamics: Recognizing how your individual histories and attachment styles shape your relationship patterns.
Navigating life transitions: Whether it's becoming parents, career changes, or exploring new relationship structures, therapy provides support during periods of growth and change.
Resolving conflict constructively: Developing tools to address disagreements without escalating into damaging fights.
Deepening intimacy: Reconnecting emotionally, physically, and sexually in ways that feel authentic and fulfilling for both partners.
It's Normal to Feel Nervous
Many couples worry that therapy means admitting failure or that a therapist will take sides. The truth is, couples therapy is a collaborative process where we work with both of you to strengthen your partnership. Our role isn't to judge or assign blame—it's to help you understand each other better, identify patterns that aren't serving you, and build new ways of relating that bring you closer together.
You might also wonder if your problems are "serious enough" for therapy. The answer is: if you're feeling disconnected, frustrated, or stuck, that's enough. You don't need to wait until things feel hopeless. In fact, seeking support earlier often makes the work easier and more effective.
What to Expect in Couples Therapy
Couples therapy provides a structured, safe space to explore your relationship with guidance from a trained professional. Here's what you can typically expect:
Initial assessment: We'll start by understanding your relationship history, current challenges, and goals for therapy.
Creating safety: We establish ground rules and work to make sessions feel comfortable for both partners.
Identifying patterns: Together, we'll explore the dynamics and cycles that keep you feeling stuck.
Building new skills: You'll learn practical tools for communication, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation.
Homework and practice: We'll provide exercises to practice between sessions, helping integrate new patterns into your daily life.

Meeting Your Therapist
Victoria Towery, LPC-A
Trauma, Love Addiction, Queer Identities
Victoria Towery specializes in working with couples navigating communication challenges, trust issues, life transitions, and the complexities of modern relationships. She brings a trauma-informed, attachment-focused approach to her work, helping partners understand how their individual histories and nervous system responses shape their relationship dynamics.
Victoria works with couples across diverse relationship structures and is ENM (ethical non-monogamy) and polyamory affirming. While she does not currently work with polycules (relationships involving three or more people), she welcomes couples in open relationships, those exploring non-monogamy, and partners transitioning between relationship structures. Her practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and she creates a non-judgmental space for couples of all identities and orientations.
Drawing from her training in somatic therapy, attachment theory, and modern relationship science, Victoria helps couples move beyond surface-level conflicts to address the deeper patterns and wounds that create disconnection. Her approach combines evidence-based techniques with compassionate, body-centered practices that support sustainable healing and growth.
Victoria is particularly skilled at working with:
Couples struggling with anxious-avoidant attachment dynamics
Partners navigating the aftermath of infidelity or broken trust
Relationships impacted by codependency patterns
Couples exploring or transitioning to non-traditional relationship structures
Partners dealing with sexual intimacy concerns or desire discrepancies
Relationships experiencing the stress of major life transitions
