Couples Counseling
Couples therapy at Lemon Tree Therapy goes beyond simple conflict resolution. We draw on an integrative approach combining Psychodynamic Therapy, Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), and the Gottman Method, one of the most extensively researched frameworks in relationship care.
Sessions help partners go beneath surface-level arguments to understand the unconscious relational patterns, attachment dynamics, and emotional triggers driving conflict. By learning to mentalize, understanding both your own internal state and your partner’s, you can build emotional safety, restore trust, repair after ruptures, and foster genuine, lasting intimacy.
