Need a Couples Therapist to Help With Your Relationship?
Are you looking for couples counseling in Chicago because you’re concerned about your relationship? Worried that your marriage may not make it over the long term? Are you tired of the arguing, bickering, or worse—the silent treatment?
Perhaps you’re struggling in your marriage or long-term relationship. Maybe you’ve reached a place of being sick and tired of the same old arguments that repeat themselves over and over again. The anger, resentment, and dissatisfaction may have you thinking to yourself: “Is this really worth it?”
Try as you might, attempts to fix your relationship problems just don’t seem to be working. The criticism, blaming, and apathy have reached a point where both of you are completely over it.

♾️ Love is Not a Finite Resource
In the world of Polyamory and Ethical Non-Monogamy, we often say that love is infinite, even if time is not. Transitioning to a “Designer Relationship” requires more than just an open heart—it requires a specialized toolkit for communication and emotional regulation.
