Relationship Therapy in Chicago

Relationship Therapy in Chicago

Healthy relationships take work, and when challenges arise, having the right support can make a meaningful difference. Lynn Zakeri LCSW provides relationship therapy for individuals and couples in Chicago and the surrounding North Shore communities, helping clients strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and navigate emotional patterns that impact connection.

Relationship therapy offers a supportive space to explore challenges with honesty and care, whether you are facing ongoing conflict, feeling emotionally disconnected, or navigating major life transitions together.

When Relationship Therapy Can Help

Many people seek relationship therapy during times of stress or uncertainty, but it can also be a powerful tool for growth and prevention. Relationship therapy may be helpful if you are experiencing:

  • Communication breakdowns or recurring conflict

  • Difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries

  • Trust issues or past relational wounds

  • Emotional distance or lack of intimacy

  • Challenges related to parenting, blended families, or life transitions

  • Anxiety or stress affecting your relationships

Therapy is not about assigning blame, it is about understanding patterns, strengthening emotional awareness, and building healthier ways of relating.

A Thoughtful, Supportive Approach to Relationship Therapy

Lynn’s approach to relationship therapy is collaborative and grounded in emotional attunement. Sessions focus on understanding how past experiences, nervous system responses, and emotional patterns influence current relationships.

For clients who may benefit from deeper body-based awareness, relationship therapy can be thoughtfully integrated with somatic therapy techniques, helping individuals recognize how stress and emotion are held in the body and how that impacts connection and communication.

This integrated approach supports lasting change by addressing both emotional insight and embodied experience.

  • Couples navigating conflict or emotional disconnection

  • Partners working through life transitions or stressors

  • Clients exploring boundaries, communication, and emotional regulation

Sessions are tailored to your goals and paced to support meaningful, sustainable growth.
