Couple therapy is not only for those experiencing significant turmoil and dissatisfaction in their relationship; it can also be a powerful tool for couples interested in increasing intimacy, connection, and empathy. The first session will include an in-depth exploration of your goals for therapy as well as a detailed assessment designed by the Gottman Institute which utilizes research-based algorithms to discover your unique strengths and challenges as a couple. This assessment tool will enable us to tailor treatment to your specific needs and desires, monitor progress, and invite deep reflection into your interpersonal dynamics.

Along with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relational challenges, including polyamory and ethical non-monogamy, Lydia has a particular passion for serving the LGBTQIA2S+ community. In terms of broader diversity dimensions, Lydia honors the ways in which a client's, and her own, intersecting identities show up in the therapeutic space and strives to create a place in which every aspect of the person is welcomed.
