Are you getting in the way your success and happiness? Let’s partner up and get you back to on track.
I work with people who experience challenges with motivation, focus, and self-discipline. Often manifesting as problems with attention and executive functioning, these challenges could make a person feel trapped in their life choices, scared about making the wrong decisions, frustrated about not following through, overwhelmed, and mentally exhausted. Without addressing them, these challenges can become chronic, bring about significant emotional distress, and cause disruption to personal and professional growth.

I enjoy getting to know the stories of the couples that I meet and learning about what's made them a good team.
Can't seem to communicate with your spouse or significant other? You have a great relationship, but lately you do more arguing than getting along. It's hard to remember the last time you were out on a date or had an enjoyable conversation with each other and your sex life is not the same as it once was. You can't seem to figure out how you got here, but despite this, you want to make things work. You really love each other and were once really happy, You're not ready to give up on the relationship and although you'd rather avoid couples counseling, nothing else seems to be working.

I provide ongoing support so that couples can maximize the tools and resources given to them in session so that they continue working on and improving their relationship.
When relationship problems occur, couples can easily hit a roadblock. Through therapy, couples quickly learn that they most likely have a communication issue rather than a fundamental flaw of the relationship. Couples therapy works on healing and improving how you communicate. Your relationship can be strengthened and the bond of your friendship restored through couples counseling. If you're struggling in your relationship, seek help early on to avoid a build-up of resentment and disconnect. It's best to be proactive with issues that arise.

Hello! I am Amy Lottes, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado. I have experience helping clients with depression, stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, and an array of other issues. My clients like working with me because they feel like we are having a conversation while addressing their issues and working toward their goals. They usually say this approach feels less clinical and intimidating, and as a result, end up making progress faster than they initially thought they would.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
