At Boston Center for Couples and Sexuality, we recognize that while all humans struggle with one issue or another, at one time or another, it can be difficult to seek help and support. Expectations that you might have of yourself or expectations that you think or KNOW others have of you can really weigh you down when life gets busy. Sometimes you know exactly what you need help with, and other times, things just don't feel right and you just aren't sure what kind of help you need. Our clinicians will listen, ask good questions, and look at problems with you to figure out how to get you back on the path where you want to be. We work with individuals and committed couples, as well as those practicing consensual non-monagamy. While communication skills and sexuality issues are a significant part of our clientele, we also work with many patients with depression, anxiety, or grief as their presenting complaint.
We know that one size does not fit all. Our clinicians use multiple treatment techniques to address the issues that get in the way of you connecting more with yourself and those you love. Whether it is talk therapy, journaling, homework assignments, Imago therapy, mindfulness or somatic treatments like EMDR and Brainspotting, we work together with you to find what helps you best.
