Balanced Life Psychotherapy

Arlee Pryor, MA, LMFT, CSTIP

I help couples who feel disconnected, are stuck in the same fights, and are unsure how to find their way back to each other. I teach them how to fight fairly, repair, and co-create a relationship that is grounded in real intimacy and friendship.

I work with LGBTQ+ adults who want to break free from past wounds and limiting beliefs that keep them stuck - whether from religious trauma, internalized homophobia, or relational wounds. Together, we will increase self-compassion, identify your values, and create a life that feels authentic to you.
