Couples Therapy

Every relationship goes through seasons — some bring connection and joy, while others feel stuck, distant, or tense. Couples therapy offers a supportive space where both partners can be heard, understood, and guided toward meaningful change.

In our sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to clarify where you stand in the relationship and reflect on what you’re each willing and able to invest in healing and growth. We’ll explore recurring patterns, uncover deeper emotional needs, and work through the challenges that may be keeping you disconnected.

It’s important to know that the effectiveness of couples therapy depends on both partners showing up with a willingness to be open, honest, and emotionally present. Real progress comes when each person is ready to take ownership of their role in the relationship, share vulnerably, and commit to the work of building something stronger together.

Whether intimacy has faded, communication feels strained, or life’s demands have pushed your connection to the side, therapy can help you find your way back. With the right tools and support, it’s possible to feel seen, valued, and emotionally close again.

Testimonials

  • “When my husband and I began our journey with Diana, we were broken individuals unable to identify the catalysts to our unhappiness as a couple. After seeing Diana, she was able to get us to understand one another, lay out a unified vision for our relationship and parenting styles, effectively communicate in the moment, and assist us with deeper connection and intimacy. Ultimately, our marriage is in a great place and we have Diana to thank!”

  • “Diana has been a great fit for us to work through relationship obstacles. Her personality is very warm, relatable, and nonjudgmental, and I felt that she provided a space for me and my partner to receive validation.”

  • “Diana's style of holding us accountable and her straightforward style has been the mirror that we needed during our counseling sessions. Simply put, Diana speaks our language. Our marriage was on the brink of ending, and Diana helped us walk back from the edge of the dissolution cliff.”

  • “Ms. Nesko is wonderful to work with. Her calm, wise, and funny insights make the sessions a time to reflect on the relationship in a thoughtful way. We look forward to the therapy sessions and know that we will draw closer to each other as a result. We started initially as a dating couple starting over again. My now husband and I at the time were both divorced. We also each brought a child into the mix as well. The statistics are awful for couples wanting to marry the second time successfully. Now that we are married we still meet with Ms.Nesko monthly for check-ins. No relationship structure is too complicated for her. She meets you where you are and works with you both to be better.”

  • “Working with Diana has allowed us to rebuild our relationship by giving us the necessary tools to see and actually hear each other. Her direct and no-nonsense approach to counseling has allowed us to see ourselves from a different perspective which has allowed us to be better partners to each other.”
