Vivienne Forte, LMFT-S

Is your relationship navigating the complex challenges of chronic illness, neurodifferences, or trauma? Are you seeking someone to help you navigate these challenges with more confidence, resilience, and connection? Reaching out for help when we are struggling in our relationship is really difficult. Maybe you have been trying to manage it on your own for a while, but things don’t seem to be changing. Perhaps you have tried couples therapy before and felt the therapist didn’t understand the complexity of your situation. It seems like you’re stuck in the same loop of conflict and misunderstanding. You’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and wonder if things will ever change. Welcome to my online couples therapy practice, I am glad you found your way here. If you are considering working with me, then you are probably struggling with navigating differences in your relationship that are leading to misunderstanding, conflict, and disconnection. Perhaps your stress responses or cognitive processing are wired differently, and one or both of you are neurodivergent. Maybe a chronic illness has impacted one partner’s health and identity, and in turn has also caused ripple effects in your relationship dynamic and roles. It might be that past childhood traumas or recent relationship betrayals are impacting the sense of trust and security in the relationship. I am here to tell you that no matter what you are struggling with in your relationship right now – it CAN change and get better. Together, we can create a collaborative plan to help you navigate your complex challenges as a team, heal your relational hurts, and create a more resilient and collaborative relationship going forward. Therefore, not only will we design a plan to help you relieve your current distress, we will create a roadmap that increases your relational resilience and fosters long-term relationship healing and growth.
