What is relational-based therapy?

Therapy is a shared experience. It’s a collaborative journey where both of you bring important pieces to the table—your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, along with the therapist’s guidance, support, and insights. The goal is to help you feel emotionally safe and understood.

Your therapist will be real and present with you during sessions. They’ll actively engage with you, rather than just being a passive listener. This helps create trust and openness, making it easier for you to explore difficult emotions and experiences.

Your therapist will pay attention to how you relate to others—whether it’s in your family, friendships, or romantic relationships—and how those patterns show up in your life. The therapist will help you recognize these patterns, understand where they come from, and work to change them if needed.
