Couples Therapy

Couples therapy functions as relational self-care. It’s an investment in the health of the relationship, not just a response to what isn’t working. Alison Franklin, LCSW uses an integrative, evidence-based approach to help couples communicate more effectively, navigate conflict, and build the emotional resilience needed for a sustainable partnership. The work is both practical and insight-oriented, combining concrete tools with a deeper understanding of themselves and each other.

Alison treats conflict as a necessary part of intimacy and focuses on how couples repair. She helps partners recognize self-defeating patterns and emphasizes shared responsibility to restore connection rather than eroding it. Within this framework, love is practiced as a skill, a conscious choice, and a daily act of care.
