Couples Counseling 

With Kelsey Greene, LMSW 

Couples therapy with me is about creating a space where both partners can feel safe, understood, and supported. I take a systemic approach to sex therapy, which means that we’ll not only explore the dynamics between you as partners, but also how broader factors—like societal norms, family influence, and past experiences—impact your relationship and sexual connection. My goal is to help you build a stronger bond emotionally, physically, and sexually by working through challenges in a collaborative and respectful way.

Who We Serve

I work with a diverse range of couples, including those from all sexual orientations and relationship structures, whether monogamous, consensually non-monogamous (CNM), or exploring alternative dynamics. I welcome all couples who are seeking help with relationship issues, emotional intimacy, or sexual concerns. Regardless of your background or relationship structure, I provide an inclusive, affirming environment where your unique needs are respected.

What to Expect in a Session

In our sessions, we’ll explore the dynamics in your relationship—whether around emotional connection, intimacy, or other challenges—to identify patterns that may create conflict or distance. Using the Gottman Method, we’ll strengthen communication and conflict resolution skills, fostering healthier dialogue and helping each partner feel more secure. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), we’ll address personal “parts” like unspoken fears or defenses that shape relationship dynamics, while a systemic sex therapy approach will guide us in understanding how intimacy is influenced by both individual and relational factors.  Whether it’s mismatched desire, sexual dysfunction, or discomfort with certain sexual practices, we’ll work through these challenges in a respectful and open way, aiming to rebuild intimacy and create a fulfilling sexual connection.

What Makes Our Approach Unique:

I take an active, compassionate, sex-positive approach in helping couples grow and thrive. Rather than relying on assumptions, I take the time to understand what sex and intimacy means to each person I work with. I’m committed to challenging the misconceptions and misinformation perpetuated by societal messages and media. My approach addresses sexual issues holistically, considering both your emotional and physical needs as well as the external influences on your relationship.
