Dr. Jean Machelle understands the complexities of relationships and the challenges couples may face. Our relationship therapy services are designed to address these challenges head-on, whether it’s through couples trauma therapy, relational life therapy, or infidelity counseling.
Relationship counseling, also known as couples therapy, helps couples of all types recognize and resolve conflicts to improve their relationships. Through counseling, couples can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding their relationship or, in some cases, going their separate ways.
The goals of relationship counseling often include improving communication, solving interpersonal conflicts, understanding each other better, and resolving specific issues that have caused tension or dissatisfaction in the relationship, such as infidelity, anger, financial problems, sexual difficulties, issues with parenting, or communication barriers.
During the sessions, Dr. Jean Machelle will encourage partners to speak openly about their feelings and behaviors, identify and understand the dynamics in their relationship that contribute to conflicts, develop strategies and skills to resolve these conflicts and improve their relationship satisfaction. Relationship counseling can be short-term, focusing on specific issues, or longer-term, addressing more complex interpersonal or individual problems affecting the relationship.

Couples trauma therapy focuses on healing the emotional wounds that one or both partners bring into the relationship due to past traumatic experiences. It differs from traditional couples counseling by exploring how trauma shapes communication, emotional responses, trust, and intimacy. It combines trauma-informed care with relationship-building strategies.
Yes. Therapy for relationship issues can be highly effective, even if the challenges have existed for years. A licensed therapist can help couples understand harmful patterns, improve communication, rebuild trust, and learn healthier ways to connect and resolve conflict.
Common concerns include emotional disconnection, infidelity, trust issues, unresolved trauma, communication breakdowns, sexual and intimacy struggles, parenting conflicts, and life transitions. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Unresolved trauma, whether from childhood, past relationships, or individual experiences, can create triggers, emotional distancing, or reactive behavior in current partnerships. Couples trauma therapy helps both partners understand these dynamics and build empathy, emotional safety, and trust within the relationship.
Sessions typically involve open dialogue facilitated by a therapist, joint goal setting, and learning practical tools to manage conflict and strengthen connection. For couples dealing with trauma, therapy may also include individual processing moments to support healing while staying focused on the relationship.
