Kimberly Schildbach, MFT

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“I work with couples who want more than surface-level fixes. My approach is steady, honest, and deeply compassionate. I help you slow down, name what’s really happening between you, and understand the patterns that keep you stuck. You’ll each have space to be seen without blame, and together we’ll work toward clarity, connection, and a way of relating that actually feels better for both of you. And if one or both of you is unsure whether you want to stay together, I offer discernment counseling—a structured, supportive process that helps you sort through the ambivalence without pressure or judgment. It’s a space to understand what’s led you here, what could realistically change, and what each of you needs in order to move forward with honesty and integrity.”

About Me

Struggling in your relationship? The same fights, the same hurt, and no way forward? With extensive expertise and a proven track record, my entire practice is dedicated to relationships—helping couples navigate infidelity, high conflict, and deep disconnection. I also offer Discernment Counseling for those unsure whether to stay or separate. Whether you need weekly sessions or an intensive approach, I provide online Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy for clients throughout MA, CT, and FL.

Approach

I use empirically based Emotionally Focused Therapy and Discernment Counseling to help couples either find their way back to each other or part with clarity and confidence. In our work together, I’m focused, bold, and deeply attuned—guiding you toward the truths you’ve been circling but haven’t fully named. I help you see the patterns that keep you stuck, not to assign blame, but to open the door to real change. My sessions are structured, steady, and safe, giving you both the space to be honest and the support to move forward with intention.
