Couples Therapy
Couples Therapy helps partners strengthen their connection, improve communication, and navigate challenges with empathy, insight, and proven relationship strategies
Understanding Couples Therapy
At Tresna Psychiatry, our couples therapy approach goes beyond surface-level conflict resolution to support the deeper emotional well-being of each partner. We work collaboratively to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and align on shared goals while honoring each individual’s identity, values, and personal history. Therapy is personalized to help you understand how your relationship dynamics impact emotional connection, daily life, and long-term fulfillment.
About Couples Therapy
We understand that navigating relationship challenges can be complex. Our clinicians provide thoughtful, evidence-based couples therapy designed to support emotional connection, communication, and mutual understanding with care, expertise, and attentiveness. Whether you’re facing conflict, life transitions, or disconnection, therapy may involve a blend of structured techniques, reflective dialogue, and personalized strategies to help both partners grow together.
Our Philosophy
At Tresna Psychiatry, we treat addiction as a medical condition that requires a personalized and evidence-based approach. Our philosophy combines Medication-Assisted Treatment using FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine and naltrexone with therapy methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention. With expertise in psychopharmacology and co-occurring disorders, our team provides safe, effective care tailored to each individual. We also recognize the importance of family support and offer resources to help loved ones heal alongside the recovery process.
