A couple that looks sad
If you’ve come to this website, you and your partner are probably feeling hurt, disconnected or stuck. You care a lot about each other and have tried to make things better, but still feel that you’re not communicating or that nothing gets resolved.

You want to feel closer but feel like you’re drifting apart...
There is hope.

I’m Dr. Scott Linton and I am a Couples Therapist.

A couple having a conversation

Couples see me because:

We can’t talk without fighting — our conversations turn into arguments. One of us gets angry or shuts down. We feel like we’re not really hearing or understanding each other anymore.

We feel distant — we’re in the same house, but we feel alone. It’s like we’re roommates, not partners. We miss the closeness we once had.

Something broke our trust — one of us cheated or kept a secret, or I really needed my partner and they weren’t there for me. We want to rebuild our relationship, but can’t figure out how to start.

We’re going through a big life event — a new baby, a new job or an illness in our family has shaken things up. We’re not handling stress well as a team. We want to stay connected despite the changes.

Our sex life isn’t working — One of us wants more sex, the other less. Touching feels awkward or like something’s missing. We want to talk about it, but it’s too embarrassing or too difficult.

We’re not on the same page about parenting — We disagree about how to raise our kids. One of us feels left out, unsupported or undermined. We want to feel like we’re a team again.

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?


a happy couple a happy couple EFT is a type of counseling that helps couples to strengthen their relationships by understanding and changing the way they connect with each other. We begin by exploring how disconnection often follows the same patterns, like one person getting upset and the other pulling away. As we figure out these patterns, you’ll become less reactive and more responsive.

I help you talk about your deeper emotions — like loneliness, sadness or shame instead of getting lost in surface conflict or sullen withdrawal. You learn how to feel safe with each other and to be heard and understood.

As you share thoughts and feelings that had once felt too vulnerable, you start to understand your previous conflicts and injuries from each other’s perspective. Feeling safe together builds trust and friendship, nurtures intimacy, and ignites passion. Research shows that many couples continue to become closer to each other even two years after completing their therapy.
