What is Romantic Systems?

Romantic systems work is an approach that focuses on the interconnected dynamics within intimate partnerships. In this work, couples or multiple partners are viewed as a relational system—meaning each person’s behaviors, communication styles, and emotional experiences affect and shape the others. Therapy aims to foster healthier patterns of interaction, resolve conflicts, and strengthen emotional bonds.

Romanic systems work can include infidelity, communication issues, resolving family of origin differences, sexuality, ethical non monogamy, polyamory, opening up relationships, discernment, and more.

When one needs treatment?

    • Recurring conflicts or disagreements that never seem fully resolved
    • Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected from your partner(s) despite being physically together
    • Persistent communication challenges where you or your partner(s) feel unheard, invalidated, or misunderstood
    • Struggles with navigating major relationship milestones or life transitions (e.g., moving in together, marriage, parenthood)
    • Desiring a deeper connection, improved intimacy, or proactive skill-building to maintain a healthy relationship

Which therapists to see?

    • Kirsten Nyman, LMFT
    • Paige Salters, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
    • Mariam Al-Akhdar, LCMHCA
    • Laila Mack, Intern-LMFT Candidate 2027
