Couples Counseling

A Relational Approach to Healing, Repair, and Rediscovery

No relationship is immune to stress, disconnection, or difficulty. But the path forward doesn’t always require separation. Sometimes, it just requires a pause—space to talk honestly, reconnect emotionally, and rebuild the foundation of your partnership. Dr. Schweitzer offers professional, remote couples counseling for partners who want more than conflict management—they want growth, intimacy, and understanding. Whether you're facing daily tension or a critical crossroads, this is a space to do the work together.

Why Couples Counseling?
Because Love Is Work Worth Doing

 

When couples seek therapy, it’s usually not because they don’t love each other—it’s because they feel stuck. The same conversations keep circling. Arguments escalate or go silent. Trust thins out. Intimacy fades. These patterns don’t mean the relationship is broken. But they do mean something needs attention. Therapy offers a guided, neutral space to unpack what’s going on beneath the surface—not just what’s being said, but how it’s being heard. With skilled facilitation, couples can reestablish empathy, improve communication, and find alignment again—emotionally, practically, and sometimes spiritually.

*All counseling & coaching services are remote.

Dr. Don’s Unique Approach to Couples Work

Couple in Raincoats

With advanced clinical training, decades of experience in individual and systems-focused therapy, and years spent mentoring professionals and teaching graduate students, Dr. Don brings more than just textbook knowledge to your relationship. He listens for the dynamics beneath the dynamic. His style is engaged, calm, direct, and thoughtful—not driven by scripts, but by insight and presence. He works with all kinds of partnerships, but particularly with long-term couples navigating life changes, blended families, stress from work or parenting, and post-crisis healing.

You’ll find that his approach balances the psychological with the relational. It’s not about assigning blame or proving who's “right,” but about helping each partner understand their own needs, histories, and defenses—and the effect they have on the other. Couples leave with more than tools; they leave with a clearer, more compassionate sense of each other.

Working Together Remotely, but Intimately

All couples counseling sessions are offered remotely via secure video conferencing. This allows partners to join sessions from different locations if needed, or to meet together from the comfort of their own home. While remote work might feel less personal to some, Dr. Don’s approach is deeply relational and engaging—clients frequently comment on how quickly the screen fades away once real connection begins.
