Couples Therapy
Couples therapy at Velvet Psychotherapy Collective offers partners a space to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, and deepen emotional connection.

Our clinicians are trained in a range of evidence-based couples therapy modalities, allowing them to tailor the approach to meet the unique needs of each partnership. Rather than focusing solely on problem-solving, our therapists work with you to address the root causes of relationship challenges, fostering long-term change rather than temporary fixes.
At Velvet, couples therapy can also include sex therapy when intimacy, desire, or sexual issues are impacting the relationship. Our clinicians understand the profound role that sexuality plays in relational health and are equipped to guide couples through sensitive topics like mismatched desire, intimacy avoidance, or past relational trauma.
