Couple Therapy
Even strong, successful couples can lose their footing. You may be balancing demanding careers, parenting, or cultural expectations while quietly feeling disconnected from the person who matters most. The stress of doing it all can leave little space for emotional closeness, communication, or joy.
Couples therapy with Dr. Niloofar Tavakoli offers an authentic, supportive space to pause, understand each other again, and rebuild a relationship that feels secure, collaborative, and deeply connected.
Therapy Designed for Today’s Couples
Dr. Tavakoli works with high-achieving professionals, dual-career partners, and working parents who want more than surface-level fixes. Her approach blends compassion with clarity, helping couples understand not just what’s happening but why.
Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies, Dr. Tavakoli helps couples move from reactivity and defensiveness to empathy, safety, and shared purpose. Together, you’ll identify the emotional patterns that keep you stuck and learn how to turn moments of tension into opportunities for connection.
When Couples Therapy Can Help
You might benefit from couples therapy if you’re:
Struggling with communication, distance, or unresolved tension
Feeling like teammates managing logistics, but not partners sharing life
Balancing demanding work schedules or parenting responsibilities that strain the connection
Healing from a breach of trust or emotional disconnection
Preparing for or adjusting to a major life transition such as marriage, parenthood,
relocation, or career change
Wanting to strengthen your relationship before challenges grow larger
Out of network
Dr. Tavakoli is an out-of-network provider, which means we do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to maintain the highest level of personalized care without the restrictions that often come with insurance panels.
That said, many of our clients successfully use their out-of-network insurance benefits to receive partial reimbursement for therapy. Depending on your plan and deductible, reimbursement often ranges from 50–80% of session costs for individual therapy.
To make this process easier, we provide you with the necessary documentation (a “superbill”) so you can submit directly to your insurance company. Please let us know if you would like to obtain a superbill!
