What to Expect from Couples Counseling
Couples therapy should feel like a safe, fair space where both partners feel heard and valued—and that’s exactly what I create. You won’t have to worry about one person being dismissed or feeling like the “problem.” I make sure both of you have the opportunity to express your thoughts and emotions in a way that leads to real understanding, not just more frustration.
Together, we’ll:
Break down communication and conflict to pinpoint exactly where misunderstandings happen and where you lose each other.
Focus on learning how to truly hear and understand each other’s emotional needs, so both of you feel seen and supported.
Explore the emotions underneath anger and frustration, because most conflicts aren’t just about the surface issue—there’s usually hurt beneath them.
And through it all, we will work with kindness, because at the core, both of you just want to be understood.
Most people never learn how to communicate in a healthy way with their partner, simply because they didn’t grow up seeing it modeled. That’s where couples therapy comes in. I’ll help you develop new ways of relating to each other so you feel more connected, less reactive, and truly on the same team.
About Me
Hi, I’m Naomi Lutz.
Born and raised in Germany, my curiosity about different cultures deepened when I moved to the U.S. My passion for connecting with people inspired me to study psychology in college, where I truly fell in love with the field. Since then, I’ve embarked on a journey of self-discovery, guiding and supporting the incredible individuals I work with as they navigate their own paths.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in kindness. Yes, I will be kind to you but more importantly, I will remind you to be kind to yourself. Often, we are our own harshest critics, unaware of the impact this self-criticism can have on our well-being.
I believe change doesn't have to be forced; it can stem from a genuine conviction that it is the right path forward.
