Couples Therapy for Pursue-Withdraw Cycle & Men Who Shut Down · Online Therapy Colorado · Available Worldwide
Neither of you is the problem. The pattern is.
Structured, Gottman-informed therapy for couples caught in the pursue-withdraw cycle — one partner shuts down, the other keeps chasing connection. We name the pattern and build the skills to break it, including for couples where ADHD is part of the picture. Licensed in Colorado. Available worldwide.
Services
Every service at Duffy Counseling LLC is built around the same core approach — active, structured, and goal-oriented. Not open-ended venting. Not passive listening. Real work, with a clear direction.
Couples Counseling
For partners stuck in pursue-withdrawal cycles, reoccurring conflict, and emotional shutdown. The goal isn't to eliminate disagreement-it is to stop having the same one over and over again.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
- One partner shuts down or withdrawals during conflict
- Arguments escalate fast and resolve slowly
- Work stress is bleeding into the relationship
- You love each other but feel increasingly alone
Therapy for Men
For men navigating emotional shutdown, burnout, and reoccurring relationship patterns. Many arrive through couples counseling - and discover the individual work is just as valuable.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
- You shut down and go silent during conflict
- You're high functioning at work but struggling at home
- You want to understand your patterns - not just manage them
- You're skeptical of therapy but willing to try something structured
Expat & Living Abroad
Coaching for expats, digital nomads, and internationally-based individuals and couples. From a therapist who has lived abroad - understanding the specific nuances to this lifestyle.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
- You are living abroad and want an understanding therapist
- The novelty has worn off and something feels off
- You don't fully fit in here - but home doesn't feel like home either
- Relocation has strained your relationship or your sense of self
