LGBTQ & Lesbian Couple Therapy.
Serving North Carolina and Massachusetts Fully licensed in both states. All services available online.
Are you stuck in a painful cycle of conflict that’s left you feeling raw and alone? Every couple experiences stress and ruptures at some point.
While this is true for every couple, other couples experience it in different ways. In fact, some couples deal with problems outside of their relationship. One such problem is how society views their relationship. Not every couple deals with societal discrimination.
Additionally, not every couple experiences an erosion of family support too. But that is often the case for same-sex couples.
This can understandably interfere with the capacity to get close. These undeserved consequences can have a big impact on your relationship. Such stressors can even contribute to an erosion of a once strong sexual bond.
If this sounds familiar, receiving EFT in lesbian couple therapy can work for you!

A: EFT therapy is framework that helps couples of all genders. But, lesbian couples often face their own unique barriers. Some include sets of familial and societal pressures. And, understandably so, that can be overwhelming at times.
“As a lesbian couple, we were looking for a couple’s therapist who would not only be nonjudgmental, but would treat our marriage with respect and dignity. Paula exceeded our expectations. We came to Paula with our marriage in crisis, we were stuck in a negative loop that we did not how to get out of. She is caring and insightful and we trusted her to help heal and repair our marriage.
