DR. ALEXA ALTMAN / COUPLES THERAPY
Where connection becomes possible again.
Relational therapy for couples navigating distance, conflict, betrayal, and the longing to be understood.

What happens between us
Couples often arrive focused on the argument, the withdrawal, or the rupture. I’m also interested in the protective responses underneath those moments—the places where each partner is trying to feel safe, close, or understood.

Our focus
We explore attachment patterns, emotional reactivity, repair after conflict, vulnerability, intimacy, and the ways past experiences shape present-day interactions. The work is about building capacity to stay connected to yourself while remaining in relationship with another.

My approach
My couples work draws on relational, somatic, and parts-informed perspectives, including Internal Family Systems-informed approaches for couples. Sessions make room for both partners’ experiences without rushing to assign blame.
