Couples Counseling
Every relationship faces challenges. Whether it's ongoing conflict, emotional disconnection, or unresolved past hurts, these struggles can make it difficult for couples to communicate openly and feel truly understood. In my couples therapy practice, I work with partners to not only address the surface issues but also explore the deeper emotional patterns that may be driving conflict and distance. Couples therapy is a gentle and supportive way to help you both come back together.
As a therapist in Fort Lauderdale, I’ve had the privilege of guiding many couples through their healing journey, and I believe it’s possible for every relationship to regain connection with the right support.
In my couples therapy, I use a blend of traditional talk therapy and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to help you and your partner address conflict, improve communication, and heal emotional wounds. Reach out to us at The Center of Connected Living - FL in Ft. Lauderdale to learn more or to schedule a free consultation.
Build A Stronger Relationship
Through therapy, couples can learn to identify and address the underlying issues that are causing conflict. They can also learn to develop more empathy and compassion for each other. This can lead to a deeper understanding of each other and a stronger bond overall. At The Center of Connected Living - FL, we work with couples to overcome situations like:
Discussions that lead to arguments filled with blame, criticism, and defensiveness
Diminishing trust, passion, love, or intimacy
Feeling unfulfilled and alone
Seeing signs of physical or emotional infidelities
Arguing over finances
Parenting that has been causing daily stresses
The truth is, even the strongest relationships need help from time to time. There’s no shame in asking for help when you start to see the signs. If you’re ready to get the support you need for you and your partner to grow and heal, contact us today.
Keep the Spark in Your Relationship Alive
Do you want to make sense of your fights? Are you feeling disconnected from your partner? All couples argue, and while some may argue more than others, it’s not the arguing that predicts dissatisfaction or divorce — it’s the way we argue. There’s such a thing as a good fight that can bring you closer to one another.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, Dr. Scholtz works with couples every day who desire effective communication with their partner or spouse. Topics that we will cover in couples therapy include:
How to recover from betrayal
Lack of trust
Insecurity
Regrettable conversations
Arguments
Sexual intimacy and emotional closeness
And more
Get the Most Out of Couples Therapy
It’s completely normal for couples to feel uncertain about what to expect from the process of couples therapy. This journey is one of discovery—of yourself, your partner, and the dynamics that shape your relationship. The beauty of therapy is that it offers a safe, supportive space to explore these areas together.
The true goal of couples therapy is to help you and your partner gain a deeper understanding of each other and the patterns that have been keeping you stuck. With compassion and guidance, you’ll begin to unravel those patterns and learn how to replace them with healthier, more fulfilling ways of connecting. It’s not about placing blame or finding fault; it’s about recognizing what’s been getting in the way of the relationship you both deserve and learning how to change that together.
In therapy, you’ll work with Dr. Scholtz to gain greater clarity on:
- The kind of life you want to create together
- The partner you each aspire to be to help build that life and relationship
- What might be holding you back from becoming that partner
- The skills and tools you need to move forward toward the relationship you both envision

When is the Right Time to Start Therapy?
It’s important to know that couples therapy isn’t only for couples in crisis. It can be incredibly beneficial at any stage of your relationship. Even if things haven’t escalated into major issues, therapy offers a proactive space to strengthen your bond and prevent potential conflicts from growing.
If you’re feeling disconnected, frustrated, or unsure about where your relationship is heading, it might be time to reach out. There’s no need to wait for things to get worse. Therapy is a gentle step toward creating more understanding, love, and connection in your relationship.
Enhancing Connection and Closeness Through Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP) for Couples
In relationships, especially long-term ones, it’s common for couples to encounter emotional blockages, recurring conflicts, or feelings of distance. Traditional couples therapy can be helpful, but for some, deeper emotional patterns or traumas may need a different approach to truly heal and move forward. This is where Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP) can create profound breakthroughs for couples.
How KAP Can Support Couples:
Opening Emotional Doors
Ketamine, in a therapeutic setting, has the ability to quiet the ego and defense mechanisms that typically get in the way of vulnerable communication. This allows couples to access parts of themselves they may not usually feel safe expressing, enabling more open and honest conversations. During a KAP session, both partners are guided to explore their emotions without the usual judgment or fear of conflict, which can lead to breakthrough moments of connection.
Key Benefit: Couples can feel safer sharing emotions or thoughts that might have been too difficult to express before, leading to a deeper understanding of each other’s internal worlds.
Breaking Negative Cycles: Every relationship develops patterns over time, and some of these patterns can become harmful—whether it's conflict avoidance, communication breakdowns, or unresolved resentments. KAP allows couples to step outside of these patterns and see their relationship from a new perspective. By experiencing this emotional distance, they’re better able to recognize unhealthy cycles and, with the help of a therapist, begin breaking them down and creating healthier dynamics.
Key Benefit: Couples gain insight into negative communication cycles, allowing them to create new, healthier ways of interacting.
Healing Emotional Wounds: Sometimes, past trauma—whether within the relationship or from earlier life experiences—can block closeness and intimacy. KAP provides a unique opportunity to process these deep-seated emotional wounds in a non-threatening, non-verbal way. By addressing these underlying hurts, couples can release old pain that may have been standing in the way of true closeness.
Key Benefit: Couples can process deep emotional wounds in a safe, supportive space, freeing them to experience greater emotional intimacy.
