Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Relationships often bring both deep connection and deep activation. Even in loving partnerships, it is common for couples to find themselves stuck in repeating patterns of conflict, distance, miscommunication, or emotional disconnection that can feel difficult to shift on their own.
In therapy, we slow down these patterns and begin to understand what is happening beneath the surface of interaction. From a psychodynamic and attachment-based perspective, we explore how each partner’s early relational experiences, protective strategies, and emotional needs are shaping the dynamic in the present.
Rather than focusing only on communication skills or surface-level conflict resolution, this work supports a deeper understanding of the emotional cycles that keep couples stuck — including pursuit and withdrawal patterns, sensitivity to rejection, shutdown responses, and unmet needs for safety, closeness, and autonomy.
Using a trauma-informed and Focusing-Oriented approach, we also pay attention to the body-based experience of relationship moments. The “felt sense” can reveal important information about what is happening internally during conflict or disconnection, often before it can be fully put into words. Learning to notice and stay with these internal signals can create more choice, regulation, and empathy in real time.
Therapy supports partners in developing the capacity to stay present with themselves and each other, even in moments of discomfort. This includes increasing emotional awareness, strengthening repair after conflict, and building more secure and responsive connection patterns over time.
Carey Counseling offers support for individuals navigating relational challenges as well as partners in both traditional and non-traditional relationship structures, including polyamorous and consensual non-monogamous relationships.
This work is especially supportive for couples who feel stuck in repetitive cycles, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to reconnect after rupture — and who are seeking a deeper, more embodied way of understanding and transforming their relationship patterns.

"Relationships succeed or failure, gradually and then suddenly, one conversation at a time." Fierce Conversations/Susan Scott
Relationships of any kind depend on the quality of the conversation. No conversation. No relationship. I help you be seen and heard so that you can move into choosing the relationship you want. I work with all kinds of relationships: married, partnered, open, polyamorous, friends, parents and adult children, siblings. Even business relationships. Let me draw from the best of Gottman Technique, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Emotional Intelligence, and others to assist you in creating the right conversation and the best relationship possible.
