DR. ZENA VEVAINA

You try to fix it but nothing sticks.
Youre not broken. But the way you and your partner communicate is. I help couples move out of reactive cycles and actually understand each other.

One partner pulls away, goes quiet or feels overwhelmed during conflict.

Clinical Supervision
I proudly offer clinical supervision for associates eager to enhance their skills in the therapy field. Together, we'll explore the intricacies of mental health disorders, trauma, and relationships, providing a supportive environment for your personal growth.
My Approach
Most couples think they’re arguing about communication, effort, or priorities.
But underneath, it’s often about:
-
Feeling unseen or unimportant
-
Fear of rejection or abandonment
-
Not knowing how to express needs without it turning into conflict
My work focuses on helping you understand and shift these deeper patterns—not just manage surface-level disagreements.
