Couples Therapy

Relationships include love and brightness, but they also have their moments of struggle. At Rouse, we help partners slow down, understand themselves and each other, use some good old coping skills to stay calm during fights.

Our clinicians are trained in couples therapy modalities ranging from Gottman to Developmental Model to utilizing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Staff Therapists are also under the training and supervision of the licensed clinical director. Our staff regularly attends trainings to stay up-to-date on the latest methods of relationship therapy.

Women’s Sexuality

We all have our fair share of obstacles when it comes to sex and relationships, but sometimes that can lead to anxiety, trauma and other issues. The good news is therapy can help. With the support of a trained professional, you can learn new coping skills and tackle tough conversations related to body image, infidelity, fertility, and gender exploration - just to name a few.

Deconstruct Masculinity

Unrealistic expectations without the grace to learn and make mistakes have left men in an impossible position, leading to lasting harm to themselves and those around them.

Through individual or group therapy, identify the parts of masculinity that you want to keep and the other parts you need distance from.

Gender Exploration

At our services, we pride ourselves on being trans-friendly and affirming. We understand that gender can be a complex and personal journey, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Our team includes multiple trans and non-binary providers who know firsthand the challenges and joys of exploring gender identity. Whether you are just starting to question your gender or are well into your transition, you are welcome here. We strive to create a space that is safe, open, and non-judgmental, where you can feel confident in exploring your identity. So come as you are, we're ready to meet you right where you are in your journey.
