Financial Issues Therapy
Money touches nearly every part of life. It shapes how we live day to day, how we see ourselves, and often how we relate to the people closest to us. For some, the conflict is internal—fighting with yourself about overspending, procrastinating on bills, or cycling through shame after yet another impulse purchase. For others, the fights are with a partner—arguing over priorities, feeling resentful about who earns or spends more, or struggling to agree on goals. Either way, financial stress can quickly take over your thoughts and relationships.
Our Approach
At Modern Therapy Alliance, we understand that money is never just about numbers. It’s about identity, history, and emotion. Shame, guilt, frustration, or fear often come up in these conversations—and instead of pushing those reactions aside, we explore them. They’re not roadblocks; they’re signals. When we take time to understand why money triggers these feelings, we can design solutions that fit who you are and what matters most to you.
For Individuals
For individuals, that means going beyond theory. We don’t just talk about the stories you tell yourself about money—we roll up our sleeves and tackle the habits and behaviors that keep you stuck. Overspending, avoiding account balances, using shopping as a stress release, or ignoring debt until it grows—these patterns can change. We give you concrete tools, structured check-ins, and accountability systems to help you replace bad habits with healthier ones that align with your values.
For Couples
For couples, financial therapy creates space to work as teammates instead of adversaries. Money fights are rarely just about dollars; they’re about priorities, fairness, and trust. We’ll help you move beyond repeating arguments into constructive conversations where both partners feel heard and respected. Together, we’ll build practical systems you can both commit to while keeping the emotional side of money front and center.
Why We’re Different
Unlike traditional financial planners, we’re not here to sell investments or hand you an app. We combine real-world financial experience—including leadership at both family and corporate levels—with therapeutic skill to address both the emotional roots and the practical behaviors that make financial change stick.
