How Dr. Mahaney Helps Couples Thrive
1. Resolving Conflict
Conflict is an inevitable part of any relationship, but it doesn’t have to be destructive. Using the Gottman Method, Dr. Mahaney helps couples understand their unique patterns of interaction and teaches them how to manage disagreements constructively. By focusing on creating shared meaning and mutual respect, couples learn to de-escalate tension and address their differences with compassion and clarity.
2. Improving Communication
Dr. Mahaney integrates Nonviolent Communication (NVC) techniques to help couples express their feelings and needs without blame or judgment. This approach fosters deeper understanding and encourages couples to truly listen to one another. By mastering these skills, partners can break free from cycles of miscommunication and build a relationship rooted in trust and respect.
3. Healing from Infidelity and Betrayal
Few challenges are as devastating as infidelity or betrayal. Dr. Mahaney provides a structured, evidence-based process to help couples navigate the pain and rebuild trust. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), she guides partners in addressing the underlying vulnerabilities that contributed to the breach, creating a path toward healing and renewed intimacy.
4. Reconnecting and Rekindling Intimacy
Dr. Mahaney understands that relationships can grow distant over time. Her integrative approach helps couples rediscover their emotional and physical connection, fostering closeness and shared joy. Whether it’s through exercises that build emotional safety or exploring love languages, Dr. Mahaney supports couples in reigniting the spark that brought them together.
5. Living Intentionally
Relationships flourish when partners align their values and goals. Dr. Mahaney helps couples identify their shared vision for the future and create intentional practices that support their growth. From creating rituals of connection to addressing unresolved fears, her work equips couples with the tools to sustain their love over the long term.
6. Meeting Emotional Needs
Unmet needs can quietly erode a relationship. Dr. Mahaney helps couples uncover their deepest desires and teaches them how to communicate these needs effectively. By fostering an environment of empathy and responsiveness, partners can feel seen, heard, and valued, which is essential for a happy, healthy relationship.

At South Tampa Therapy, we specialize in helping individuals and couples connect and strengthen their relationships while creating positive change in their lives. Our approach focuses on three key steps to guide you towards lasting transformation.
Step 1: Attune to Awarenesses
In the first phase of our treatment plan, we will work together to attune to awarenesses of areas in your life and relationships that could be improved. We believe that awareness is the first step towards change, and by identifying areas for growth, you gain the power of choice. Through open and honest exploration, we will uncover underlying patterns, behaviors, and beliefs that may be impacting your relationships and overall well-being.
Step 2: Attach to Agreements
Once we have identified areas for improvement, we will collaborate to create intentional steps and agreements to make positive changes and meet your goals. These agreements serve as a roadmap for your journey towards growth and transformation. By committing to specific actions and behaviors, you will begin to cultivate healthier communication patterns, deepen emotional connection, and foster greater intimacy in your relationships.
Step 3: Accountability for Lasting Change
In the final phase of our treatment plan, we will focus on accountability for lasting change. Together, we will create a maintenance plan to ensure that the progress you've made continues long after our sessions have ended. This may involve regular check-ins, ongoing support, and strategies to navigate challenges as they arise. By taking ownership of your growth and committing to ongoing self-care practices, you will experience sustained positive change in your relationships and personal life.
By following this structured approach, you can expect to experience a range of benefits, including:
Improved Communication: Develop effective communication skills to express your needs, listen actively, and resolve conflicts constructively.
Deepened Emotional Connection: Cultivate greater emotional intimacy and connection with your partner, leading to enhanced trust, understanding, and closeness.
