Couples therapists in Westport, CT

I am Sandra Lerzundy‐Price, LMFT, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Director dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families create meaningful, lasting change. My work is grounded in systemic thinking and a holistic view of wellbeing — honoring the integration of body, soul, mind, and spirit.

With over a decade of experience across private practice, outpatient, inpatient, and high‐acuity behavioral health settings, I offer a steady, restorative, and collaborative therapeutic space. I believe therapy helps us understand the “dance” we’ve been doing — the patterns, roles, and reactions that shape our relationships — and supports us in creating new ways of relating that foster connection, clarity, healing and growth.

As a couples therapist, I help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and interrupt conflict cycles. I draw from the Gottman Method, Prepare/Enrich, attachment‐based work, and systemic relational models to help couples build healthier patterns and a stronger foundation.

I also treat anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, chronic conditions, family issues, grief and bereavement, infertility, PTSD, trauma, stress management, relationship concerns, and life‐cycle transitions. My approach integrates systemic, person centered models, CBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), EMDR‐informed principles, Structural Family Therapy, DBT‐informed strategies, and somatic awareness practices to support the whole person.

At Restorative Therapy Services, I provide in‐person and telehealth appointments for teens, adults, couples, and families. I am committed to helping clients feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move toward healing, resilience, and deeper connection.

I help couples and individuals build deeper connections and enhance eroticism in their lives. I studied to obtain my Certification in Sex Therapy from the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists. My work focuses on a number of sexual health and mental health issues, including desire discrepancies, physical concerns that limit one's ability to enjoy preferred sexual activities, erotic recovery after infidelity and/or trauma, establishment of monogamy agreements, kink-affirming care and assistance to co-create polyamorous relationship agreements. I also see clients for more generalist concerns including anxiety, depression, the general stress of living in the world today. Some of the concerns I help couples and poly folks with include: communication difficulties and strategies for interpersonal effectiveness in relationship, including coaching on scripted communication strategies; enhancement of desire, play and eroticism; recovery from infidelity; integration of kink/poly dynamics.

I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy. Please note, I do not provide couple or family therapy services on insurance as these forms of therapy are not recognized by insurances. If you'd like couple or family services, I provide out of network services and can also provide a sliding scale based on your income/ genuine financial need.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

I am Dr. Michele Bullock, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Board Certified Counselor with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate their unique life journeys. As an Industrial-Organizational (I/O) Psychologist, I bring a rare depth of expertise that bridges personal wellness and professional development — supporting clients through career transitions, workplace challenges, leadership development, and major life changes. My approach is holistic and whole-person: I recognize that your well-being is shaped by every environment you move through. I would love to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
