SIGNS
Do we need couples therapy?
You might. If you keep having the same fight, can't talk without yelling or shutting down, feel more like roommates than partners, or have just lost your love. You don't have to be close to a breakup. Couples therapy gives you fresh ways to experience your relationship, adapted to your current life together, with a professional third-party guide. Feel close, trusted, and like partners again.
During the fights
-
The same argument, over and over
-
Old skeletons come back every time
-
Talking turns into yelling, or into silence
-
One of you walks away
Between the fights
-
You feel like roommates or co-parents, not partners
-
Resentment over who does more at home
-
Less closeness or affection than you want
-
One of you has quietly checked out
Bigger life moments
-
Trust was broken, like an affair
-
You're deciding whether to rebuild or separate
-
A new baby, a move, or a job change shook things up
-
You're divorced or separated and still co-parenting
Not every rough patch means you need therapy. Stress, new babies, and busy seasons are hard on anyone. It's time to get help when the same problem keeps coming back and your own efforts aren't changing it.
COUPLES OR INDIVIDUAL?
Couples therapy or individual therapy?
Couples therapy works on the relationship, so both of you participate. If one of you is also dealing with anxiety, ADHD, autism, or depression, couples therapy can still be the right place to start, because it affects you both. Dr. Luisa may also suggest individual therapy for one or both of you alongside it.
Both of you, together
All couples work happens with both partners. Dr. Luisa doesn't keep secrets in couples therapy, so you both need to be open and honest.
When individual therapy helps too
If anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, or another condition is feeding the stress, she may recommend individual therapy during couples therapy. Dr. Luisa works with your individual therapist to coordinate effective therapy. After couples work ends, one partner may continue with her individually when it's appropriate and ethical.
IN-HOME
What is in-home couples therapy, and how is it different from an office or online?
Revive your relationship harmony and happiness faster with in-home therapy. Dr. Luisa, a licensed psychologist, comes to your home in Steamboat Springs. In her experience, working in your home is often the most effective way to reach your goals because she sees the tension in real time, where it happens.
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
In your home
Dr. Luisa sees how you talk, where the tension builds, and what home is like, so the new habits you build fit the life you share. No drive to an office and no awkward waiting room.
ALSO AVAILABLE
Online by video
Virtual sessions work too. Dr. Luisa believes couples therapy online is far better than trying to figure it out alone, doing nothing, or working with an inexperienced therapist or counselor.
BEST OF BOTH
A mix
Some couples combine in-home and virtual sessions, which can be a nice balance.
What you need at home: a quiet, private space for the two of you. Kids can be in the home, but they need to be fully occupied in a different space.

HOW LONG
How many sessions of couples therapy will we need?
Your relationship didn't get rough overnight. Reviving a loving life takes time and commitment. Dr. Luisa's couples work usually runs about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. Once your relationship is steadily improving, you taper to every two weeks, then monthly. The changes become healthy habits you keep. How long you need depends on your current relationship, your distress, the work you put in, and whether anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, or trauma are also in the mix.
START
Weekly
About 12 to 20 sessions. With Dr. Luisa as your neutral guide, rebuild a personal connection and learn new skills. Consistent weekly sessions result in the most effective change.
THEN
Every two weeks
Your roughest patch is behind you. Your relationship has improved significantly, and you feel the love rebuilding. Sessions get spaced out as the changes become habits.
MAINTAIN
Monthly+
You've achieved your therapy goals. Your love rekindled. Harmony revived. Life is happy again. Check-ins maintain your closeness and squelch conflicts before anything turns sinister.
METHOD
What method does Dr. Luisa use? How do I choose a couples therapist?
To restore your relationship, Dr. Luisa primarily uses the Gottman Method and cognitive behavioral couples therapy (CBCT), with emotionally focused therapy (EFT) added when it fits. Each couples therapy session is customized to your goals. When you compare couples therapists, ask which method they use and whether they see you together.
GOTTMAN METHOD
Rebuild friendship and closeness
Gottman Method is a research-proven approach that starts with a detailed look at your relationship, then helps you ease harmful conflict and build friendship, closeness, and understanding.
CBCT
Calmer talks, new habits
Cognitive behavioral couples therapy (CBCT) focuses on the thoughts and habits that keep fights going and teaches communication and problem-solving skills so conversations feel calmer and you work as a team.
EFT
Feel safe, heard, and close
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) helps you understand and share the emotions under the arguments, so you can feel safe, understood, and close again.
Why a licensed psychologist for couples?
Reviving lost love is a complex journey filled with intense emotions and challenges. Dr. Luisa is a doctoral-level licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD). Her training covers stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, and other conditions that often shape how couples fight and connect. She has the experience, skills, and training to see each of you as individuals and the relationship as a whole. Her deep understanding of psychological function gives her a therapeutic advantage over counselors and social workers.
