Affirming relationship counseling for all styles and structures
Whether you’re navigating recurring arguments, feeling disconnected from your partner, or figuring out the complexities of nontraditional relationships, support can make a difference.
Because every relationship deserves care
Relationships can be a source of joy, intimacy, and growth—but they can also bring up stress, conflict, and old wounds.
At Guerin Therapy Group, we provide couples and relationship therapy in Raleigh that is inclusive, affirming, and tailored to your unique relationship structure. From monogamous partnerships to polycules and everything in between, we honor the way you define love and commitment. Our work focuses on helping you and your partner(s) build trust, improve communication, and understand the patterns that keep you stuck—so you can feel more connected and supported.
Together, we’ll create space for curiosity and compassion, helping each person feel heard, valued, and understood. Whether you’re rebuilding after a rupture, navigating change, or simply wanting to strengthen your foundation, therapy offers tools to deepen intimacy and foster resilience in your relationship.
Why couples seek therapy
Couples and relationship therapy isn’t just for relationships in crisis—it’s also for those who want to grow stronger, communicate better, and build a lasting connection.
There’s no “wrong reason” to reach out for relationship support. Many couples and partners come to us when they’re facing:
- Communication breakdowns or recurring conflicts that never seem to resolve.
- Trust issues, boundary challenges, or breaches that need repair.
- Transitions like marriage, separation, blending families, or moving in together.
- Jealousy, insecurity, or differing needs that feel hard to navigate.
- The complexities of ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, or open relationships.
- Disconnection, loss of intimacy, or feeling “out of sync.”
- The impact of past trauma on current relationship dynamics.
- A desire to deepen closeness, safety, and mutual understanding.
Inclusive support for all relationships
We don’t use a cookie-cutter model. Instead, we collaborate with you to explore what works best for you. Relationships come in many forms, and we believe all of them are valid.
What to expect in couples and relationship counseling
Sessions are designed to be a nonjudgmental space where all partners feel heard, valued, and respected. Together, we’ll practice open and honest communication, strengthening your ability to listen and speak with empathy. We’ll explore how to set and honor boundaries that foster safety and trust, and learn to navigate conflict in ways that feel constructive rather than combative.
Our work may also involve exploring and negotiating needs, desires, and agreements—especially in relationships with complex dynamics or multiple partners. For couples working through a rupture or breach of trust, we’ll focus on rebuilding connection, empathy, and understanding. Throughout this process, we’ll consider how each partner’s individual history shapes the relationship today, helping you recognize patterns and respond to one another with greater compassion.
Our approach is collaborative, relational, and rooted in respect. Every session is guided by your goals and values—whether you’re seeking repair, clarity, or simply a deeper, more fulfilling connection.
