Our calm, private therapy space in Mequon
You keep having the same argument and nothing ever actually changes
You feel like your partner doesn't really hear you — or you don't know how to get through to them
You've started to wonder whether things can get better, or if this is just how it's going to be
You feel more like roommates than partners — distant, disconnected, going through the motions
You're carrying resentment that's starting to affect everything else in your life
You know something needs to change, but you're not sure what — or how
You've thought about therapy but aren't sure if you should go alone or wait for your partner to agree
Your relationship patterns feel bigger than just this relationship — like something you keep repeating
If any of this resonates, you're in the right place. You don't have to have it figured out before you reach out.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You don't need your partner to agree to therapy for things to start changing.
Many people assume relationship therapy requires both partners in the room. But individual therapy for relationship issues is often where meaningful change starts — and sometimes, it's even more effective.
When you work on your own patterns, reactions, and communication in individual therapy, you bring something different back to the relationship. You show up differently. You respond instead of react. You get clearer on what you need — and how to ask for it.
Individual therapy is a good fit if:
Your partner isn't ready or willing to attend therapy
You want to understand your own role in relationship patterns before involving your partner
You're navigating a relationship decision and need space to think it through clearly
You're dealing with family of origin patterns, past relationship wounds, or attachment concerns
You want to build communication and boundary skills that apply across all your relationships
Couples therapy is also available for partners who are ready to work together. Both paths are valid — and both start with a free consultation.
Sessions are collaborative, judgment-free, and paced around you. Whether you come on your own or with a partner, here's what we'll focus on:
Understanding what's driving the patterns — not just what's happening, but why it keeps happening
Identifying your emotional triggers, attachment needs, and communication habits that shape how you connect
Building practical tools to express needs clearly, set boundaries, and navigate conflict without it escalating
Exploring past relationship experiences — from family, previous relationships, or formative moments — that still affect how you show up today
Developing a clearer sense of what you want and need from your relationships going forward
For couples, sessions create a structured space to slow down, actually hear each other, and build new ways of communicating — with a third party helping to keep things productive and safe.
What relationship therapy actually looks like
Not sure where to start? That's okay — that's what the consultation is for.
We'll talk through what's been going on, whether individual or couples therapy makes more sense, and what working together might look like.

Your therapist: Elizabeth Gross, LPC
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Mequon, and relationship issues are one of my primary areas of focus. I work with individuals navigating relationship struggles — whether that's with a partner, a family member, or patterns that keep showing up across relationships — as well as couples ready to work through things together.
My approach draws from attachment-based and emotionally focused frameworks, which means I'm interested in more than just what's happening on the surface. I want to understand what's driving it — the emotional needs, the communication patterns, the history that shows up in the present. From there, I draw on CBT and DBT skills to give you practical tools you can actually use.
I work to create a space where you can be honest — about the hard stuff, the confusing stuff, and the things you're not sure how to say. I'm currently accepting new individual and couples clients. I'd love to connect.
You've been thinking about this for a while. It might be time to talk to someone.
Whether you're coming on your own or with a partner — a free 15-minute consultation is a low-pressure first step. No commitment, no agenda. Just a chance to talk.
