Consistent Support
Alex provides a safe, supportive environment where couples can take the risk to be more vulnerable, open, and honest.
Thoughtful therapy for stronger relationships.
Alex Szablya understands what makes relationships thrive and flourish. A couples counselor with over 13 years of clinical practice, Alex has trained with some of the top experts in the field of couples counseling and has advanced training in The Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Relational Life Therapy. With Marathon Intensives, Alex helps relationships become stronger, more resilient, and more joyful, guiding couples onto a positive path of a thriving, harmonious and resilient relationship.
Weekly therapy sessions are two hours long and take place virtually.
They are scheduled for the same time each week, though accommodations may be made when schedules change.
Alex’s approach creates an organic endpoint to your weekly sessions, rather than having a hard stop time. For example, couples are afforded the time they need to complete important conversations, whether they are discussing a conflict that requires resolution or they are achieving a meaningful ‘breakthrough.’ In these cases you may not use all two hours; and as with Marathon Intensives, you pay only for time in session.
Alex provides a safe, supportive environment where couples can take the risk to be more vulnerable, open, and honest.
Couples learn the value of communicating with their significant other in ways that prioritize goodwill, respect, and affection.
Through Alex’s Marathon Intensives and Weekly Couples Therapy, couples experience a deeper bond and more meaingful, rewarding connection.
With Alex’s help, couples take away lasting tools and skills that allow their partnership to flourish, grow, and evolve.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) provides skills to help individuals explore the complexities of modern relationships and relearn tenderness, compassion, and perseverance.
The Gottman Method relies on research-based interventions to help couples experience greater joy, peace, and connection in their relationship and overcome barriers to closeness.
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) uses a structured approach that identifies unhealthy patters in a relationship, addresses underlying traumas, and teaches practical skills to increase intimacy. The method is extremely effective in allowing for deep and rapid healing in a short time.
