Does this sound familiar?
Relationship struggles rarely come from a lack of love or effort. They come from patterns, learned long before this relationship started.
These patterns make sense. They came from somewhere. And they can change.
Where relationship patterns actually come from
Most of how we show up in relationships was shaped before we were old enough to choose it. How safe connection felt as a child. What we learned about conflict, needs, and trust. The relationships that hurt us before we knew what healthy looked like.
For neurodivergent people this gets more complex. ADHD affects how you regulate, how you listen, how you follow through. Autism shapes how you communicate and process intimacy. When both people in a relationship have different nervous systems and no one has ever explained that to either of them, things get hard fast.
We work with individuals and couples to understand the patterns, where they came from, and what it looks like to build something different.
Who we work with
Relationship struggles look different depending on where you are in life.
Individuals working on relationship patterns
You do not need to be in a relationship to work on relationships. Understanding your attachment style, your triggers, and your patterns changes everything about how you connect.
Couples at a crossroads
The same argument on repeat. Growing apart. A rupture that has not fully healed. We work with couples who are trying to figure out how to reconnect.
Neurodivergent couples and partners
When one or both partners are neurodivergent, relationships require a different framework. We understand the dynamics and work with both of you to build one that fits.
People healing from painful relationships
Toxic relationships, emotional abuse, complicated breakups, the kind of relationship experiences that leave marks. We help you understand what happened and move forward.
Approaches we use for relationships
Often connected to relationship struggles, we help with these too
Our approach to relationship therapy
Most relationship struggles are not about love. They are about nervous systems, communication patterns, and old attachment wounds that show up in how we connect. We help individuals and couples understand what is really happening underneath the surface conflict, and build relationships where both people feel understood. We support relationships of all structures, including non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.
Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-informed work, we help you understand the deeper needs and fears driving the same painful cycle. When you can see the pattern instead of just reacting to it, real change becomes possible.
Gottman-informed and neurodivergent-aware
We draw on Gottman-informed strategies for communication and connection, and we bring a neurodivergent lens, because when one or both partners has ADHD or autism, the usual relationship advice often misses the mark. We understand these dynamics from the inside.
Relationships of all structures
We provide affirming, knowledgeable care for relationships of every kind, including non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships. You will not have to explain or justify your relationship structure. We meet you and your relationships exactly as they are.
What it is like to work with our team
Every clinician at Ideal Psychology Group is neurodivergent or deeply connected to someone who is. That shapes everything about how we work. You will not have to explain why communication feels harder for you, or justify how your relationships are structured. We meet you with genuine understanding.
We are a fully virtual practice serving teens and adults across Michigan, and we specialize rather than trying to treat everything. That focus means your therapist understands how neurodivergence, trauma, and attachment shape the way you connect. You are matched with a therapist based on your specific needs, not just whoever has an opening.

You fill out our form, and we reach out within one business day to match you with the right therapist, verify your insurance, and get your first session on the calendar.
