Why Choose Artful Couples Therapy?

At Artful Couples Therapy, Ivy Austin understands that every couple is unique--there is no one-size-fits-all couples therapy. Every couple’s reasons for choosing therapy are different. Ivy will help you define goals and make sustainable changes that will improve your day-to-day life together and restore balance to your relationship. Unlike traditional in-person therapy, Ivy’s online practice helps make your life easy by allowing you to explore your concerns from the comfort and privacy of your own home or office. Ivy focuses on creating a judgment-free virtual space where each partner is given equal time. 

A Focus on Growth and Connection

Ivy’s couples therapy sessions will help you:

• Identify recurring patterns of behavior that may hinder connection.
• Resolve conflicts through improved communication strategies.
• Enhance emotional intimacy by fostering deeper understanding and empathy.
• Rebuild trust after breaches, big or small.
• Navigate major life transitions, such as marriage, parenthood, career changes, and loss of loved ones.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Lasting Results

Treatment may include interventions from the following modalities:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): A method designed to strengthen emotional bonds by addressing attachment issues and emotional responses.
• The Gottman Method to help disarm conflicting communication, increase intimacy, and empathy, and remove barriers that create a sense of stagnancy in the relationship.
• Bowen Family Systems Therapy (BFST) to address intergenerational behavioral patterns, and the transmission of trauma.
• Structural Family Therapy to address boundary issues and family hierarchies which can help to resolve family’s and/or couples conflicts.

Who Can Benefit from Artful Couples Therapy?

Artful Couples Therapy is ideal for:

• Couples in the early stages of their relationship interested in creating a solid foundation and good communication skills.
• Long-term partners looking to reignite their connection and communicate more effectively.

• Partners exploring ways to prevent or heal from infidelity.
• Individuals in unconventional or non-traditional relationship structures.

A Safe and Supportive Space for Every Couple

One of the cornerstones of Ivy’s practice is creating an empathic, supportive environment. Each online session provides a safe space for partners to express their feelings and needs openly. Ivy prioritizes ensuring that both individuals feel heard and respected, paving the way for genuine progress and healing.
