Relationship Counseling and Sex Therapy to Help You Feel Close Again
At some point you started wondering: Is this just how relationships end up? Is this normal? Maybe you’ve found yourself considering relationship counseling or sex therapy because something feels fundamentally different now. The tension is harder to ignore. The distance feels heavier. And you’re tired of living side by side without really feeling connected.
At Revive Relationship Counseling, we focus on identifying the patterns shaping emotional and sexual connection so couples can move out of survival mode and create relationships that feel intentional, connected, and alive again.
When Your Relationship Starts Feeling More Like Logistics Than Partnership
You manage schedules. You handle responsibilities. You get through the day. But emotional closeness feels harder to access. Physical intimacy may feel awkward, pressured, or absent. Conversations either escalate quickly or stop happening altogether.
Many couples reach a point where they feel more like roommates or co-managers than partners. Underneath that shift is often a deeper question: How did we get here, and can we actually find our way back?
You Are Not Broken. You Are Caught in Patterns.
Relationships struggle when patterns form that disconnect emotional and sexual intimacy. Without understanding those patterns, even well-intentioned conversations repeat the same cycles.
At Revive Relationship Counseling, we help couples understand the patterns shaping their emotional and sexual connection so they can move out of survival mode and build relationships that feel intentional, connected, and alive again.

Why This Approach Works for Relationship Counseling and Sex Therapy
Most couples focus on improving communication without understanding the deeper relational dynamics driving disconnection. That creates temporary improvement but rarely lasting change.
Revive Relationship Counseling was founded by Marina Stanton, LMFT and AASECT-certified sex therapist, with a clear clinical focus: help couples understand the relational patterns shaping communication, emotional safety, and sexual connection so change becomes meaningful and sustainable.
Our work is grounded in a structured, differentiation-informed approach and a sex-positive philosophy. Intimacy is treated as a natural and essential part of relational health, not something separate from emotional connection or burdened by shame. Many clients come from religious or values-based backgrounds, and therapy here creates space for honest conversations about intimacy, connection, and growth without abandoning what matters most to you.
This is focused, intentional relationship work designed for lasting transformation.
Start Relationship Counseling or Sex Therapy with a Clear Plan
Starting relationship counseling or sex therapy is a meaningful step, and most couples arrive here after trying to figure things out on their own for a long time. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out.
This work focuses on identifying and shifting the patterns that keep couples stuck so meaningful change becomes possible.
If you’re ready to determine whether this approach is the right fit, the first step is a brief consultation call. We’ll talk about what’s been happening, what you’re hoping for, and how we can support you moving forward.

Reconnection Is Possible — Even If It Feels Like You're Miles Apart
If you're reading this, chances are you're not ready to give up. That alone says something important about you.
A lot of couples wait until things feel really broken before reaching out, but needing support doesn't mean you've failed. It means you're human. It means you care enough to try something different.
In relationship counseling, we often hear things like:
“We don’t fight. We just feel like we’re living parallel lives.”
“Sex feels like a chore, or it’s dropped off completely.”
“We love each other, but we keep getting stuck in the same arguments.”
These aren’t signs you're doomed. They're signs something needs attention. And the good news is, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
We help couples untangle these patterns, rebuild trust, and create the kind of connection that lasts — emotionally, physically, and relationally.

Frequently Asked Questions about Relationship Counseling
-
Relationship counseling—sometimes called couples therapy—is a process that helps partners strengthen their emotional bond, improve communication, and address recurring issues in their dynamic. Whether you're facing daily arguments, feeling emotionally distant, or struggling with intimacy, counseling offers a safe space to work through it together. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, I bring a holistic approach to healing relationships—addressing both emotional connection and physical intimacy. Therapy can help you stop feeling like roommates and start feeling like lovers and teammates again.

My office is conveniently located off I-25 and 470, making it easily accessible from Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker, Aurora, and Littleton. The space is quiet, warm, and designed for comfort—with plenty of parking, a welcoming waiting area, and a cozy therapy room where couples can have honest, focused conversations.

Virtual therapy is a great option if your schedule is tight, you live outside the Denver metro area, or you simply prefer the convenience of meeting from home. Many couples I work with enjoy the flexibility of virtual sessions—some even log in together over their lunch breaks. No matter where you are, we can still work on your connection, communication, and intimacy in a way that fits your lifestyle.

I offer a specialized, integrative approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I’m trained to think systemically—which means I look at how each partner interacts within the relationship and how those patterns are shaped by family history, values, and life stages. I also bring advanced training as an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, which allows us to go deeper into issues related to intimacy, desire, and sexual disconnection—topics many general therapists don’t feel comfortable addressing. If you're seeking relationship counseling that supports both emotional and sexual connection, you're in the right place.
-
Many couples wait until they’re in crisis to start therapy—but it doesn’t have to be that way. If you're feeling frustrated, disconnected, overwhelmed by resentment, or just unsure how to move forward, those are signs that it might be time to get support. Even high-functioning couples can benefit from therapy as a way to fine-tune their relationship, deepen their emotional bond, or rekindle physical intimacy. If you’re asking, “Is this as good as it gets?”—let’s talk. Relationship counseling can give you the tools and clarity you need to build something stronger.
-
This is a common concern, and the short answer is: no. My role is not to blame or take sides, but to help each partner feel heard, understood, and supported in creating change. I work with you both to uncover unhelpful cycles and communication patterns—and to help you shift into healthier, more connected ways of relating. You’ll leave therapy with tools to navigate conflict more effectively, deepen empathy, and rekindle intimacy—without either of you feeling like the "bad guy."
-
Yes, and this is one of the things that sets my practice apart.

As a Certified Sex Therapist, I create a space where you can safely explore sexual concerns alongside emotional ones. When needed, we integrate sex therapy into our relationship counseling, because intimacy doesn’t exist in a vacuum—it’s deeply connected to how you feel emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.
-
Getting started is simple.
