Aiming to Rebuild, Reconnect, and Strengthen Your Relationship?


I believe that relationships don’t exist in isolation—context shapes connection. Whether influenced by corporate stress, healthcare demands, military experiences, or the dynamics of a family business, external pressures can weigh on partnerships. These are settings I've lived or worked and understand well. I help couples recognize and address these influences, creating space for growth, empathy, and lasting change.


I focus on supporting couples working towards:


  • Improve communication and reduce recurring patterns of conflict
  • Restore trust and rebuild intimacy after emotional distance or betrayal
  • Navigate transitions such as parenting, career shifts, or major life events

2. Session Two: Individual Perspectives (Half Sessions)


Each partner will have the opportunity for a one-on-one session. These individual half-sessions allow each person to share their personal experiences, concerns, and hopes without interruption. This helps deepen our understanding of the relationship from both viewpoints.

3. Session Three: Relationship Assessment & Feedback

Between sessions, you’ll complete a series of questionnaires and relationship assessments. In this session, we’ll review the results together, gaining a more holistic view of your relationship dynamics. This evidence-based approach helps clarify strengths, areas for growth, and how external stressors may be impacting your bond.

Hi, I’m Dr. Shawn Mason, a licensed psychologist passionate about helping couples strengthen their relationships and navigate the complexities of partnership. I believe that our most significant relationships shape the course of our lives—they can bring immense joy and fulfillment, but when they’re struggling, it can feel like everything else is, too. That’s why I see couples therapy as more than just conflict resolution; it’s about building connection, deepening understanding, and rediscovering what makes your relationship meaningful.


I’ve worked across corporate, healthcare, military, and family business settings, and I know firsthand how external pressures can seep into relationships. My goal is to create a space where both partners feel seen, heard, and supported, without fear of blame or judgment. I take an integrative, practical approach—drawing from evidence-based models to provide couples with the tools they need to grow together.


I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative process, and I’m here to help shape and support that journey.

Disclaimer


While the first six sessions can provide valuable insights and help address well-defined issues, most couples therapy takes longer, and it is not sufficient time for more complex or long-standing relationship challenges. In cases involving deeper conflict, trauma, or significant breaches of trust, longer-term therapy may be recommended to achieve meaningful and lasting outcomes.

The effectiveness of couples therapy depends on the active participation, openness, and commitment of both partners. Progress can vary based on the unique dynamics of each relationship, and no guarantees of specific results can be made.


If you have questions about the process or are unsure if six sessions are appropriate for your situation, we encourage you to discuss this during the initial consultation. Please do not send any private information through email.
