Build A Solid Foundation, Early.

88% of Couples Say It Is Best to Start Therapy Before Major Issues Come Up.

Don’t wait until the very end when the rupture gets too big. Start early and build a strong relationship foundation.

At Our Kind, we help couples rebuild trust, navigate conflict, and deepen connection without losing themselves in the process.

Whether you’re growing a business, a family, or both, your relationship deserves just as much intention as your career.

Why Couples Therapy?

Couples can look great on paper, and still feel like they’re speaking different languages behind closed doors.

Maybe you keep having the same fight in different forms.
Maybe you’re craving more intimacy, emotional safety, or clarity around the future.
Maybe you’re doing fine, but know you’re capable of something deeper.

Couples therapy isn’t about choosing sides.

It’s about building something stronger, together, and learning to speak the same language.

What We Help You With

  • Breaking out of reactive conflict cycles

  • Rebuilding connection after disconnection or betrayal

  • Navigating mismatched sex drives or desires

  • Exploring parenting, money, or future vision with shared values

  • Building safety in emotional expression and communication

  • Unpacking how childhood, culture, or career shape your dynamic

How It Works

1. Emotional Map
We start by mapping your relationship’s emotional terrain:
core patterns, communication styles, attachment wounds, and strengths.

2. Real-Time Repair
In session, we slow things down so each partner feels heard and understood,
not just logically, but emotionally.

3. Deepening Connection
We guide you to explore what’s beneath the surface:
longing, fear, resentment, love, and help you reconnect through vulnerability and truth.

4. Growth Plan
You leave with the tools to co-create a relationship rooted in
clarity, compassion, and commitment, not just survival.

Our Approach

  • We bring a relational, trauma-informed lens to every couple we work with.

  • Attachment-based therapy to understand emotional needs and relational dynamics

  • Somatic tools to notice how emotions show up in the body during conflict or intimacy

  • Sex therapy frameworks to support desire, communication, and physical closeness

  • Culturally responsive care that honors identity, values, and nuance

  • Your therapist is trained in AEDP, EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and psychodynamic modalities that center connection, not correction

  • We meet you both as full humans, with respect for where you come from and where you want to go

Who It’s For

  • Couples who love each other but feel stuck in painful patterns

  • High-achieving duos navigating stress, career demands, or transitions

  • Partners from multicultural, interfaith, or high-expectation backgrounds

  • Relationships healing after infidelity or rupture

  • Anyone who wants their relationship to feel like a safe place to land

We see you and understand your world.
