Have you been stressed, sad, or hopeless about patterns in your most important relationships? It makes sense if you are struggling; humans are made to be close to loved ones, not disconnected! I work with parents, teens, and any aged adult that is having challenges because of issues in their marriage, family, school, work, or friendships. I encourage clients to work out relational patterns or cycles and gain more support where you need it- your natural environments. My goal is that we can co-discover more healthy relational dynamics so you need to talk with a therapist less and can lean on your natural supports more!

I’m Lindsay Repko and I’m a psychotherapist committed to offering you a protected place to effectively explore the depths of who you truly are and what you want for your life, whether your experience of suffering is old or new. This sounds simple, but our modern society can make such a space hard to find, and cultural norms or taboos can pressure us to hide parts of ourselves in shame. When this happens, people often push relationships away that they need and experience pain and isolation.

You should never expect to be happy all of the time, it is not realistic. Truthfully, I would never claim to be perfect or from an ideal family, marriage, or community. Things always come up and most of us are not (thankfully) exposed to the darker realities of life until we become adults. However, that is not the case for many. That is where I come in and can help pick up the pieces that our once-trusted loved ones failed us. It is never too late to adopt our own opinions and to choose what we want for our lives without fear of judgment. I hope that through our time together I can help you feel set free.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
