online and in-person marriage therapy & family counseling located in baltimore county, maryland

it’s never too late to reconnect with each other.

Relationships are the heart of the human experience. Instead of giving couples and families advice, we help them to look underneath anger, frustration, and conflict to access their desires to feel connected and accepted by one another. We have specialized training in marriage and family therapy using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Families (EFFT). These models help partners and loved ones understand the reasons for disconnection and provide a framework for helping them to connect more deeply with each other.

for couples

We help couples understand how the distress in their relationship is caused by cycles of disconnection in which married couples often find themselves stuck. These perpetual patterns are rooted in protest against the loss of connection, the frustration of feeling like we can’t reach our partner, and the pain of loneliness. A negative cycle in a marriage can lead to arguments, resentment, shutting down, communication issues, lack of physical intimacy, and even infidelity.

We work with couples to help them get to a place where they can risk being vulnerable with each other so that empathy and compassion can return or being to develop. We specialize in helping couples move beyond anger and disconnection to reclaim the unique bond that brought them together.

EFT for Couples uses research on attachment and neurobiology to create resilient, harmonious relationships. There is a substantial body of research demonstrating the effectiveness of EFT and studies consistently show excellent follow-up results.

our role

Working with families and couples is particularly rich; it is a privilege to bear witness as loved ones courageously reach out to each other to develop safe, secure, and loving relationships. Your therapist’s role is to provide a space where each individual can express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns and develop the loving, lasting relationships that we all long for.

Dr. Provan is a long-time ally of the LGBT+ community and we welcome couples of all sexual and gender identities.

Our office is conveniently and centrally located in Baltimore County, Maryland close to downtown Towson.
