"Relationships are about security. Humans require relationships to thrive".
- Kathryn Krug

Does your relationship need support?

Is your relationship under pressure?

Do you and your partner find yourselves arguing more than communicating?

Has there been an affair or big betrayal?

The fact is, anything is possible in a relationship. Relationships are made up. They are a concept and it is us who determine what that means. We are so free to be in any relationship we desire but find ourselves so oppressed by the way we interact. Big ideas and expectations do not always lead to desired outcomes. Where do we go when the relationship is burning down and it's an emergency? Where do we go when we have just an inkling, and need help now? Before the relationship ends up in pieces...

Counseling SDC.

Relationship support at every stage. That is our mission.

Counseling SDC Relationship Philosophy

reak the Cycle. Build Your Legacy.

You and your partner are committed, but you feel trapped in a cycle of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding that feels bigger than you both. You suspect your issues aren't just about communication—they're about inherited wounds and deep-seated attachment fears.

At Counseling SDC, we specialize in Intersectional Relational Healing—therapy that moves beyond surface-level fixes to address the root causes of conflict: intergenerational patterns, systemic stress, and insecure attachment.

We offer the solution for couples ready to stop fighting the past and start building a secure future.

Is This the Right Fit for You?

This therapy is designed for couples who:

Are Ready for Deep Work: You've tried traditional couples counseling (or read all the books) and are still stuck. You are ready for intensive, body-centered change.
Struggle with Systemic Stress: One or both of you carries the weight of racial trauma, identity conflict, or systemic pressures that constantly trigger your relationship.
Want to Heal the Past: You recognize that your parents' or grandparents' relational struggles are currently dictating your partnership.
Seek More Than Talk: You understand that trauma is stored in the body and you need tools to regulate your nervous system, not just your words.

Relationship Counseling Experience

Our Approach: Healing the Bond, Body, and Bloodline

We do not offer standard couples counseling. We offer a specialized, integrated approach that focuses on safety, accountability, and profound physical co-regulation.

1. Body-Centered Co-Regulation (Our P.A.C.T. Foundation)

We teach you how your nervous system dictates your relationship. Through guided, experiential work, you learn to track and soothe your body's stress response while in the presence of your partner. This creates physiological safety—the necessary foundation for attachment repair.

2. Radical Honesty and Accountability (Our R.L.T. Framework)

We move past blame and avoidance. We help you set clear boundaries, communicate assertively, and take 100% responsibility for your role in the conflict cycle. This assertive, integrity-driven framework creates a relationship built on adult respect, not childhood wounds.

3. Integrative Trauma Healing (Our Unique Modalities)

As trauma specialists, we integrate proven methods to resolve the underlying pain:

Somatic Regulation: Using tools like Sound Healing and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to calm chronic hyper-vigilance caused by trauma.
Individual Trauma Processing: Utilizing EMDR and Flash Technique as needed to clear out individual past trauma that is currently triggering the couple’s cycle.
