Lianna PurjessTherapist in Boulder, CO

Great to meet you

This couples therapy practice specializes in helping relationships move beyond constant conflict toward reconnection and deeper understanding. The therapist works with couples struggling with issues including neurodivergence and addiction. The approach combines deep work on understanding reactive patterns with practical, concrete skills for managing escalation in the moment. Sessions include in-depth assessments that examine relationship history, communication patterns, and individual needs through joint and separate meetings. The therapist guides couples in developing shared treatment goals and provides specific interventions tailored to their presenting problems, such as repetitive conflict cycles. Strategies are practiced in session and then applied at home, with ongoing refinement based on real-world results.

The process starts with an in-depth assessment. The therapist meets with the couple together and then separately as individuals to examine relationship history, communication patterns, and the needs of both partners.
