For Hollywood couples, whether you live near the boardwalk, downtown's arts district, or out toward the western neighborhoods, therapy can help you find each other again under all the noise of a long South Florida week. In-person at the Weston office · Telehealth across Florida · English / Español [Contact Maria](/contact) [About couples counseling](/couples-counseling) ![Two linen armchairs in a quiet sunlit therapy room, couples counseling for Hollywood, FL with Maria Van Thienen, LMFT](/assets/couples-D_Jxn6tJ.jpg) Hollywood, FL ## About working with clients from _Hollywood_. Hollywood is a south-Broward beach city with real range, an arts-district downtown, the boardwalk, dense neighborhoods, and a deeply diverse population. The relationships that walk into therapy here are equally varied: long-married parents, blended families, newer couples figuring it out, partners in creative industries with unpredictable schedules. Maria's office is about 25 to 30 minutes west in Weston. Some Hollywood couples come in person for evening sessions; many prefer secure telehealth to skip the rush-hour drive. The work is the same either way, what matters is the consistency. Sessions are warm, structured, and non-blaming. The focus is the pattern between you, how arguments start, what each of you is actually asking for, how repair happens when conversations break. With 30+ years of experience, Maria has sat with most of the shapes a long relationship can take. Bilingual throughout (English / Español), useful in a city as international as Hollywood, and especially for bicultural couples whose families, holidays, and unspoken rules don't always match. What we work on ## The shape of the _work_. - De-escalating recurring conflict - Communication that lands - Repair after rupture or affair - Rebuilding trust - Intimacy and connection - Blended families and step-parenting - Creative-industry schedules and stress - Bilingual / bicultural couples Modality ## Relational work, paced and humane. Couples work draws on evidence-based methods and three decades of practice. Sessions stay structured so neither partner leaves more flooded than they arrived. When older wounds show up in current arguments, EMDR-informed tools can support repair.
