Couples Therapy
Communication · Conflict · Connection
Ashley Gonzalez · Greenwich Counseling
Maybe you keep having the same argument. Maybe you’ve stopped talking about the things that actually matter. Maybe affection, sex, or intimacy has changed. Or maybe nothing is dramatically “wrong”, you just don’t feel as connected as you once did.
Ashley works with individuals and couples who want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and find a different way forward.

When a relationship feels hard to reach
You keep having different versions of the same argument.
You’re trying to communicate, but somehow you still end up feeling misunderstood.
You feel more like roommates than partners.
Sex or affection has changed, and neither of you really knows how to talk about it.
One person wants more closeness while the other seems to pull away.
Trust has been damaged and you’re trying to figure out what happens next.
You’re dating and noticing the same relationship patterns showing up again.
You love your partner, but lately you’re wondering whether love is enough.
You want to understand yourself better before your relationship reaches a breaking point.
You don’t have to wait until your relationship is falling apart to ask for help.
What therapy with Ashley feels like
Ashley brings warmth, curiosity, openness, and a down-to-earth presence to therapy. She helps clients slow down the patterns that can happen so quickly in relationships: defensiveness, shutting down, arguing, withdrawing, avoiding difficult conversations, and begin understanding what is actually happening underneath them.
Therapy with Ashley isn’t about deciding who is right or wrong. It’s about helping you better understand yourself, your partner, and the patterns that keep getting in the way of connection.

Sex & intimacy
Sex and intimacy can be some of the hardest things to talk about, even with the person you’re closest to.
Ashley welcomes conversations about desire, mismatched libido, changing sexual connection, affection, sexual communication, body image, and the many ways intimacy changes throughout a relationship.
These conversations are welcome without making them clinical or uncomfortable. Ashley receives supervision from Mieke Doornick, LPC, a Board-Certified Clinical Sexologist.
A relationship-minded approach
Marriage and Family Therapy looks beyond one person in isolation. MFTs are trained to notice relationship patterns: how people communicate, connect, react to one another, and sometimes unintentionally get stuck.
That makes Ashley’s training especially relevant for clients coming to therapy because of relationship, communication, family, or intimacy concerns.
Closely supervised clinical care
Ashley Gonzalez is completing her graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northwestern University and provides therapy through Greenwich Counseling under the direct supervision of Mieke Doornick, LPC.
A place to start
Whether you’re coming on your own or together, the first session can simply be a place to slow things down, talk about what’s been happening, and begin figuring out what you need.
Sessions with Ashley are $50.
