As social beings, healthy interpersonal relationships are almost as important to us as our own healthy bodies and healthy minds. At Sage, we help couples, partners and other relationship groups form close and strong emotional connections and overcome complex difficulties. Our structured therapeutic approach gives each participant in the relationship an opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment where difficulties can be overcome, and healthy behaviors can grow.
Couples therapy, relationship therapy and marriage counseling are all types of psychotherapy in which couples and other relationship groups identify and resolve conflicts to form healthy patterns of communication, interaction and behavior. Whether the problem stems from differences in priorities or communication styles, responses to challenging life events, sexual or other compatibility issues, Sage’s trained and licensed therapists will use proven techniques to help each person in the relationship – and the couple or group as a whole – to draw closer, communicate more effectively and form deeper connections.
As a first step, an initial assessment is performed by our licensed professionals to learn more about you and your relationship. After the initial assessment, a clinician specialized in couples and relationships will work with you to create a personalized program of therapy with specific goals and outcomes in mind.

Hannah and James, a married couple in their late thirties, sought couples therapy at Sage Clinics after noticing a growing distance between them. The demands of their busy lives, compounded by the responsibilities of raising two children, ages 10 and 7, had taken a toll on their relationship. They communicated less frequently and found themselves growing increasingly irritable and snappy with each other, leading to frequent misunderstandings and conflicts.
During their initial assessment, their therapist explored the difficulties in more detail. They spoke about how their struggle with communication and emotional distance had become apparent in their daily interactions. Despite their deep love for each other, the stresses of work, parenting, and household responsibilities had left them feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. They wanted to recapture the closeness and intimacy they once shared but didn't know how to bridge the gap between them. Their attempts to communicate often ended in frustration and arguments, with each partner feeling misunderstood and unheard.
Hannah and James embarked on couples therapy at Sage Clinics with the guidance of a therapist trained in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT focuses on identifying and addressing underlying emotions and attachment patterns within the relationship, with the goal of fostering greater emotional connection and intimacy between partners.
In therapy, Hannah and James learned to recognize and express their primary emotions, such as fear, sadness, and longing, beneath the surface of their conflicts. They explored their attachment needs and insecurities, gaining insight into how their past experiences and attachment styles influenced their interactions with each other.
Their therapist facilitated constructive communication exercises to help Hannah and James express their needs, desires, and concerns more effectively. They practiced active listening, empathy, and validation techniques to create a supportive and empathetic environment where both partners felt heard and understood.
Though challenges arose along the way, Hannah and James noticed significant improvements in their relationship dynamics over time. They felt more connected and attuned to each other's needs, communicating with greater openness and vulnerability. Their interactions became more positive and affectionate, and they found themselves enjoying each other’s company again.
