Ms Stephanie Saari

Psychotherapist

I work with couples using the most effective form of couples therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy. Together we help you break out of your cycle of conflict and into connection.

About Me

Many couples find themselves caught in frustrating patterns, longing for closer connection. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you understand the deeper needs driving your conflicts. Together, we'll explore these dynamics, helping you step out of old arguments. This approach fosters new ways to connect, building a more secure and loving bond. If you're ready to move past repetitive arguments and rediscover intimacy, our work can guide you.

Approach

Tracking the small moments when tension escalates helps me guide couples toward renewed closeness by changing how you respond to one another. In my Danville office or via secure telehealth in English, sessions are steady and focused—we slow interactions, name the felt experience, and practice new ways to reach each other. I use brief, practical experiments in session and short reflections between meetings to test different responses and reinforce shifts. This way of working suits people ready to learn the emotional steps that reshape their relationship.
