Expert Marriage Counseling, Couples Therapy,
and Sex Therapy for Couples in Minnesota
TLDR: Couples therapy and marriage counseling in Minnesota - does it work?
A significant percentage of couples who attend relationship therapy together report relationship improvement, and 70% of couples who attend marriage therapy and couples counseling stay together after therapy. If you’re ready to get the spark back and improve your connection, you’re in the right place.
I’m Nicolle Dirksen, M.A. (she/her),
Sex and Couples Therapist in Minnesota.
You never thought you’d need a couples therapist.
When you and your partner started dating, things were amazing! You had so much in common, your communication was great, and your sex life was fireworks.
But now, those days feel like ancient history and here you are, struggling to connect. That spark has been replaced with the same old arguments, growing resentment, and you’re feeling more like roommates than partners.
If you're convinced it doesn't have to be this way, you're right.
I provide marriage counseling and couples therapy to help partners identify negative conflict patterns, navigate betrayal and infidelity, and enhance intimacy.
Listen, I understand. Talking about the most important relationship in your life to a total stranger is awkward and vulnerable. I show up as my authentic self so that you feel safe to do the same.
I will laugh with you, cuss with you, and cheer you on along the way.
If you're ready to break out of the cycle you've been stuck in and reignite the spark, I'm ready to help. Reach out for a free 15-minute video consultation so we can meet and figure out a path forward to your best relationship.
I’m excited to meet you!

When someone breaks the trust in your relationship, it can feel like the entire world is crumbling and you’ll never be able to trust again. It may feel like there’s nothing left but hurt and regret. You don’t have to go through it alone.
If you're looking for support, connection, and guidance alongside others facing similar challenges, group therapy may be the right choice for you. In a safe and therapist-led space, you'll have the opportunity to share your experiences and learn practical tools for healing.
