Couples Therapy in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Support for First Responders and Their Partners
Relationships can be hard, especially when you're dealing with the stress of long shifts, emotional burnout, or never being on the same schedule. As a couples therapist in Fort Lauderdale, I work with partners who feel disconnected, stuck, or overwhelmed, helping them find their way back to each other.
Many couples come to therapy after months—or even years—of missing each other emotionally and physically. If one or both of you are first responders, you may face unique challenges: working opposite shifts, difficulty opening up after a hard call, or emotional distance that slowly grows over time. Therapy offers a chance to reconnect, improve communication, and rebuild intimacy in a safe, judgment-free space.
Common Issues I Help Couples Work Through
Every couple faces challenges, but when one or both partners work in high-stress roles like fire, law enforcement, or EMS, those challenges can multiply. The demands of the job, emotional strain, and lack of time together can all start to wear down connection. In couples therapy, I help you name what's not working, understand each other’s experience, and work together toward practical, lasting change.
Common issues include:
- Struggling to connect emotionally or physically
- Working opposite schedules and losing quality time
- Communication breakdowns or frequent arguments
- Trust issues or emotional withdrawal
- Stress from job demands spilling into home life
- Loss of intimacy or mismatched sexual desire
- Feeling more like roommates than partners
- Navigating trauma, burnout, or mental health concerns together
Whether you're both in the field or one of you supports a first responder at home, you deserve support that fits your world. As a couples therapist in Fort Lauderdale, FL who virtually serves couples across the state, I can provide that.
