Couples, polycules & everything between
Two of you. Three of you. However many of you.
Relationship therapy for monogamous, open and polyamorous relationships. Every structure is valid here, and none of them is the goal.
In Kara’s words
Relationship therapy is hard work. That’s why it works.
“Not only are you working with your own issues and motivations, but with those of your partner(s) as well. Sometimes partners have shared goals, and sometimes they have disparate goals. Conflict tends to arise when goals are dissimilar or behaviors are incongruous with what one, both, or all partners are saying.”
“Come to therapy with an open mind, and please know that if we mutually choose to work together, I will provide you with support in the form of both affirmation and challenges.”
Where you’ll start
Six questions Kara asks each partner
- What is the problem (or problems) as you see it?
- What does your partner do to contribute to the problem?
- What do you do to contribute to the problem?
- What are your strengths within the relationship?
- What are your partner’s strengths within the relationship?
- What is the therapist’s role in helping you reach your goals?
