Couples Therapy
in Tampa, FL
Every relationship hits hard seasons. With the right support, couples can rebuild trust, rediscover connection, and face life's challenges as a team — not adversaries.
You don't have to keep having the same fight.
Therapy gives couples a structured space to break cycles, hear each other differently, and build something better together.
What Brings Couples to Therapy
You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from couples counseling. Many couples come in proactively — to grow, communicate better, or navigate a major life transition.
Communication Breakdown
When conversations always escalate — or go silent — therapy helps couples identify patterns and learn to talk in ways that actually land.
Trust & Betrayal
Rebuilding after infidelity or broken trust is possible. Therapy creates a structured, safe path through the pain toward a decision — together or apart.
New Baby / Parenting
Welcoming a child changes everything. Couples therapy helps partners stay connected and aligned through one of life's biggest transitions.
Recurring Conflict
The same argument on repeat often signals an unmet need beneath the surface. Therapy helps you find and address the real issue.
One Partner Has ADHD
When one partner has ADHD, relationship dynamics get complicated. Andrea's ADHD-CCSP certification gives couples uniquely informed support.
Infertility & Pregnancy Loss
Fertility struggles put enormous pressure on a relationship. Couples therapy provides a healing space for grief, stress, and staying connected.
Life Transitions
Moving, career changes, loss of a loved one — major life shifts can strain even strong relationships. Therapy helps couples weather them together.
Pre-Marital Counseling
Start your marriage with intention. Pre-marital counseling helps couples align on values, finances, family, and expectations before the big day.
Drifting Apart
Sometimes the issue isn't conflict — it's distance. Therapy can help couples reconnect emotionally and rebuild intimacy over time.
When ADHD is Part of the Relationship
ADHD affects far more than focus — it shapes how partners communicate, manage household responsibilities, regulate emotion, and experience intimacy. When one partner has ADHD (diagnosed or not), the other partner can feel like a parent, a nag, or simply invisible.
As one of fewer than 3% of therapists in Tampa with the ADHD-CCSP credential, Andrea brings specialized knowledge to couples navigating this dynamic — helping both partners feel seen, understood, and equipped.

Initial Session Together
Both partners share their perspective on what's bringing you in. Andrea listens without taking sides — her job is to understand the relationship system, not assign blame.
Individual Check-Ins
Andrea may schedule brief individual sessions with each partner early on — to hear what might be hard to say in front of the other person and ensure everyone feels safe.
Tools You Can Use
Sessions are collaborative and skills-based. You'll leave with communication tools, conflict de-escalation techniques, and a clearer sense of what you each need.
Progress at Your Pace
Most couples meet weekly at first, then taper as things improve. There's no pressure — you and your partner drive the timeline and goals.

Individual therapy can still be incredibly valuable if you're working through relationship concerns on your own. Sometimes one partner starting therapy creates enough positive change that the other partner becomes interested in joining later.
Research shows virtual couples therapy is equally effective as in-person sessions for most couples. Both partners can join from home — or from separate locations — making it easier to show up consistently.
Most couples see meaningful progress in 8–16 sessions, though this depends on complexity and goals. Sessions are 50 minutes and typically weekly at the start of treatment.
