RELATIONAL therapy

The Brick City Relational Therapy Program

When your relationship is more complicated, the therapy can be more comprehensive too.

Our program brings two therapists together to work with you as a team–combining individual therapy with joint relational sessions in one coordinated cohesive process.

We’re Wired For Connection

The way we relate to ourselves, other people, and our past shapes how we move through the world. That’s why we don’t treat symptoms in isolation. We look at the whole picture—your relationships, history, patterns, protective strategies, and the life you’re trying to build.

“Home isn’t where your story began. It’s where you’re finally free to live it.”

How Does the Program Works?

1. We start by understanding your relationship
The four of us meet together to talk about what is happening, what you’ve tried, and what you are hoping will change.

2. You each have an individual space
Each partner works with their dedicated therapist to understand the experiences, patterns, and vulnerabilities they bring into their relationship.

3. We come together
Joint sessions bring both partners and both therapists into the room to work directly with what’s happening between you.

4. The work informs itself
Individual insight can deepen the relational work, and vice versa.

5. We adjust as you evolve
The balance between individual and joint sessions can evolve depending on what the relationship or individual needs.

Why Two Therapists

Your individual story has somewhere to go.

Each of you has a dedicated space to understand your own history, reactions, needs, and patterns.

The relationship gets it own space too.

Joint sessions allow us to work with the dynamic as it happens, not simply hear about it afterward.

Neither person disappears inside the couple.

We can hold two different experiences at the same time without reducing the relationship to who is right or wrong.

The work stays connected.

Individual and relationship therapy aren’t happening in separate silos. Your therapists collaborate around the larger therapeutic process.

This might be a good fit if…

  • You keep having the same conflict cycles and feel stuck.

  • One or both of you have complex histories, including stemming from your family.

  • You tried relational work before and felt like something was missing.

  • There might be patterns of withdrawal or difficulty regulating emotions.

  • Your relationship involves substance use/addiction, neurodivergence, betrayal, intimacy concerns, or other layers that need more room to explore and repair.

  • You want to understand each other deeper without losing connection to yourself or each other.

  • You want to move beyond simply learning to communicate better. You want to understand why the relationship keeps becoming this version of itself.

What Issues does Co-Therapy Address?

  • Chronic and entrenched communication breakdowns.
  • Conflict cycles on repeat.
  • Walled off or explosive toward each other? Both explosive? You can come back into connection with each other.

  • Attachment wounding from your family of origin

  • Complex Trauma
  • Couples where one or both shut down or withdraw
  • Chronic defensiveness
  • Old relational patterns
  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Identity, role, or life transitions
  • Internal conflicts spilling over and impacting the relationship
  • Addiction/Substance use/Early recovery

  • The list goes on, but these are just a few examples.

What Can’t We do As a Team?

We don’t pick sides. We aren’t lawyers. We are interested in getting to know you, your partner, and your relationship through curiosity and respect. We will hold you accountable both together and individually to the changes you want to see happen in your relationship. Our foundational systems training and approach guide us with helping you, as the couple become part of the solution not just the problem, and from there the possibilities are limitless.
