When closeness feels harder than it used to
You might spend time together yet hesitate to share worries, disappointment, or a need for affection. Couples therapy can help bring those experiences into the conversation. Dr. Regier works with partners to explore the emotional cycle between them, including what happens when one reaches for connection and the other feels criticized or withdraws.
Clarifying what you want from the next stage of life
Individual therapy offers time to examine your needs apart from the roles you occupy in a partnership, family, or career. If you are seeking a deeper exploration of identity and purpose, ask about depth therapy. The initial conversation can help distinguish relationship work, individual therapy, and the reflective work you are hoping to pursue.
