Couples Therapy
Accepting space,
compassionate connection
Couples grief therapy provides direct, intentional time for you and your partner to reorient and reconnect after a life-altering loss. At Voyager Counseling, Olga Montgomery, LCSW offers evidenced, expert couples therapy which helps couples navigate the acute stressors of loss, identify and reduce the burden and pain of post-traumatic symptoms in each individual, and build the whole-person action and communication skills and inner processes to help your relationship and family to grieve well and make courageous, intentional, love-forward choices each day of this mortal, imperfect, human life, together.
Through couples therapy, which is often intentionally more topic-specific and shorter in duration than individual therapy, you and your partner will explore how your personal histories and experiences are shaping your current struggles while grieving, identify your shared values and cultivate appreciation for your unique love and grief, and intentionally grow your the capacity and skill in your relationship to mutually connect and support in and through grief pain.
Grief breaks us open—our hearts, our souls. When we hurt, sometimes, we shut down. Couples therapy can support you as a partnership to find what’s unbreakable, deepest in your union, and see the light through the cracks together, then build something that matters from the pieces.
Relationship is a crucible of our personal life’s voyage, in vulnerable and authentic connection with another.
When we choose a life with deep love, we open ourselves to deep loss.
Build the skills to navigate deep love, deep loss, and mortal life together.
A simple path to compassionate care
