Couples Therapy for One in Marin County
Change Can Start with You
Relationship challenges can be frustrating and painful—especially if your partner isn’t willing to seek help. You might feel stuck, unheard, or unsure of what to do next. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to wait for them to create meaningful change. Couples therapy for one gives you the space to work through relationship struggles, improve communication, and build a deeper connection—all on your own.

Can Therapy for One Really Improve My Relationship?
Absolutely. While it might feel like both partners need to be involved, many relationships improve when one person starts making thoughtful changes. When you communicate differently, set healthy boundaries, and respond with intention, your partner often follows suit. And if they don’t, you’ll still walk away feeling stronger, more self-assured, and clearer on what you want and deserve in a relationship.
If your partner isn’t ready for therapy, you don’t have to wait. Taking this step for yourself can lead to transformation, whether or not they choose to join later.
