Specialized Couples Therapy for Relationships in Crisis
Welcome
Couples Therapy Services in all of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, and Florida.
I work exclusively with couples - I have the experience and grit you need to go to the heart of your disconnection.
Whether you've been struggling with relentless conflict, one or both of you considering divorce,
or a current or past affair.
I offer both repair-focused couples therapy and Discernment Counseling when you’re not sure the relationship should continue.
I’ve been doing this for over 20 years and in couples therapy the reps matter. I’m not thrown by anger, shutdown, or hard conversations. I'm not here to moderate your fights.
Emotionally Focused Therapy gives us a clear plan to the heart of the matter. A client once called our work "direct, honest, and heat seeking." I don't want you to have half-hearted couples therapy. I offer specialized therapy exclusively to couples that actually works.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps couples move out of repetitive disagreements and into deeper connection. By giving words to how you behave with each other - whether it’s explosive arguments or quiet shutdowns - partners learn to share softer emotions and strengthen both emotional and physical intimacy. I also offer private Couples Therapy Intensives that jump-start healing without disrupting a busy schedule.
Discovering that your partner has cheated can feel like the ground’s been ripped out from under you. For the partner who’s done the hurting, the shame and regret can be just as overwhelming.
This is the part where most couples get stuck. But with the right kind of support, it’s possible to learn to talk about he injury as well as address other pockets of pain from the past.
I also work with couples navigating secret online behavior or excessive porn use.
Discernment counseling is a short-term (typically 1-5 session), structured process for couples considering divorce or separation. I meet with you both together and individually, guiding each of you through a precise set of questions to clarify what you’re feeling and what you want right now. By the end, you'll decide- whether that means keeping things as they are, moving toward divorce or separation, or committing to 6 months of couples therapy with divorce off the table.
Couples Therapy That Gets Results
Kimberly Schildbach, MFT, MEd, LMHC, Certified Discernment Counselor she/her
You’ve built a life. A career. A reputation. You solve problems all day long. And yet the two of you keep crashing into the same painful place at home.
You just don’t know how to reach and repair with each other anymore.
I want to help you stop having the same argument and finally understand what’s actually happening between you.
No one is the villain here. There’s a pattern. And it’s fast and protective. My role is to slow it down enough so we can get to the heart of it - so you can feel what’s underneath the defensiveness, the shutdown, the sharp talk.
I help people in the thick of it - marriages on the brink, relationships stretched thin, hearts begging for a solution. And here’s the thing: there is a way forward.
Together, we’ll interrupt old patterns, test new ways of connecting, and build something stronger - whether that’s healing together or parting with clarity and care.
Reach out and we'll get started.
