Why Couples Therapy at Layers Counseling Specialists

Specialized Support for Complex Dynamics

At Layers, we understand that relationships are deeply affected by individual mental health—and we’re here to address both. Our clinicians specialize in treating OCD, ADHD, trauma, ARFID, anxiety, and autism, and bring that expertise into couples work. If your relationship feels strained by past trauma, neurodivergence, or misunderstood behaviors, our team is trained to help you and your partner feel seen, supported, and understood—without judgment. We’re not just generalists—we’re clinicians who know how mental health impacts how we love and connect.

Evidence-Based, Results-Driven Approach

Your relationship deserves more than vague advice. At Layers, we integrate research-backed methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, designed to help couples identify stuck patterns, increase emotional responsiveness, and communicate effectively. We also apply tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when helpful, especially when managing conflict driven by anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or obsessive patterns. Our goal isn’t just to talk through problems—it’s to help you see real progress that lasts.

A Safe, Neutral Space for Real Conversations

We know it takes courage to seek therapy as a couple—especially if past efforts haven’t helped. That’s why we create a therapeutic space where both partners feel safe, respected, and heard. Every session is tailored to your relationship’s specific needs and goals. Whether you’re dealing with recurring conflict, mismatched communication styles, or navigating the layered challenges of neurodivergence, we meet you where you are with compassion and clarity. No generic advice—just thoughtful, expert care designed to move your relationship forward.

Our Specialties & Modalities

What To Expect In Therapy

In couples therapy, you can expect a space that is structured, supportive, and affirming of both partners’ unique experiences—including those shaped by neurodiversity. Many couples come to therapy feeling misunderstood, frustrated, or disconnected, especially when differences in communication styles are at play. Your therapist won’t take sides or label one partner as the “problem.” Instead, they’ll help you explore what may be impacting your relationship, build mutual understanding, and create practical strategies for connection, communication, and support. Whether one or both partners are neurodivergent, therapy can help you move from misalignment to deeper trust and clarity in your relationship.
