Let’s face it: relationships can be both wonderful and terrible, providing us with the highest highs and lowest lows. If you spend any amount of time with a committed partner, feelings of disconnection, dissatisfaction, and a lack of resolution can show up. And such feelings indicate that both of you need to pay attention to what is happening so that you can successfully build trust and connection.
Whether you’re just starting out in your intimate partnership or you have made a long-term commitment to one another, it’s important that both of you learn how you came up against certain obstacles and what you can do to reconnect. But this can throw a wrench in your relationship maintenance for many reasons.
You are absolutely killing it at work and having to juggle the demands of your career, on top of friends, family, kids, and your relationship can be challenging. As a result, you may have noticed tension or resentment building, and your relationship is starting to feel more like that of two roommates rather than that of spouses or a long-term, intimate partnership. Or perhaps you two are running into consistent misunderstandings. Despite you giving it your best shot hoping to improve the situation, things seem to escalate and never get better.
So here you are now—in the same cycle of conflict and argumentation that never seems to resolve itself. Believe us, we at Therapie can relate! You two may be fighting constantly or freezing each other out in silence. And perhaps you’re beginning to wonder if you are still on the same page, with the same shared goals in mind.
But maybe you may find that none of this struggle applies to your relationship… at least not yet.
Perhaps you’re just trying to be proactive in creating the strongest bond possible as you plan your next steps together—steps that may involve living together, getting married, and starting a family. You may be in search of some objective guidance from a professional who can help you in setting and adjusting certain expectations. Or perhaps you’re simply interested in setting a stable foundation with your significant other so that, together, you can tackle the obstacles that will inevitably arise down the line.
Our hats are off to you, and your relationship is likely giddy knowing it is getting the attention it deserves! All couples, no matter the circumstances, can benefit from couples therapy in Nashville. And with our clinicians, you and your partner will find an open and empathetic space to explore the ins and outs of your relationship.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
A great number of marriages can be saved by the couple or even one of the relationship going to therapy. We bring allot of history into all of our relationships and that needs to be sorted out. We need to work on the communication patterns, behavioral patterns and learn to be interacting in a productive way. There is a challenge to learning to disagree in a healthy way and have the trust that you can be honest with your partner without fearing the relationship will suffer.

Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
With over 25 years of experience as a couples and family therapist, I have witnessed countless marriages transform and thrive, often coming back from the brink of dissolution. The key factor that unites these couples is a shared willingness to grow rather than a stubborn willfulness. Individual growth fosters healthier functioning within the marriage, paving the way for renewed connection.
As a Gottman-trained therapist, I utilize evidence-based methods to help couples build strong foundations of friendship, intimacy, and trust. I also incorporate discernment counseling, a process designed to help couples experiencing ambivalence about their relationship. This approach allows partners to explore their feelings, identify the dynamics at play, and decide on the best path forward—whether it’s strengthening the relationship or considering separation.
I understand that many couples face complex challenges, such as infidelity, addiction, or personality disorders, which can strain relationships. However, through exploration of relational trauma and acceptance therapy, healing becomes possible. My training in Imago Relational Therapy, Gottman, Family Systems Therapy, and Complex Relational Trauma Treatment further enhances my ability to guide couples in fostering compassion, forgiveness, and understanding.
Together, we can navigate these challenges, helping you and your partner rebuild trust and understanding while creating a deeper, more fulfilling relationship. Let’s embark on this transformative journey toward lasting connection and resilience.
