About the Practice

Recovery Changes Everything
Including Your Relationship

When addiction enters a relationship, both partners are affected. Whether it's substance use, behavioral addiction, or compulsive patterns, the impact on trust, communication, and intimacy can feel overwhelming.

Couples Reset Recovery provides specialized, ongoing therapy for couples navigating the intersection of addiction and relationships. Through regular 50-minute sessions, we work together to understand the patterns that brought you here and build new pathways toward connection, honesty, and lasting change.

This is not a quick fix. It's a committed, structured therapeutic process designed to help you and your partner heal — both individually and as a couple.

How We Work Together

Specialized Therapy for Real Challenges

Every couple's journey is different. Our ongoing therapy sessions are tailored to where you are — whether you're in crisis, early recovery, or working to strengthen what you've already rebuilt.

Couples Therapy

Rebuilding Connection

For couples experiencing conflict, communication breakdown, intimacy disconnect, betrayal, or emotional distance. Through ongoing 50-minute sessions, we address the relational patterns that keep you stuck and build new ways of connecting.

  • Conflict and communication breakdown
  • Intimacy and sexual disconnect
  • Betrayal and trust repair
  • Emotional distance and recurring patterns
  • High-stress life transitions

Addiction & Recovery Support

Healing the Relationship Impact

Addiction doesn't happen in isolation — it reshapes every relationship it touches. This work focuses on helping couples navigate recovery together, addressing both the addiction and its relational consequences.

  • Behavioral addictions (pornography, gambling, sex, technology)
  • Substance use recovery within relationships
  • Rebuilding trust after addiction
  • Relationship stabilization during recovery
  • Relapse prevention as a couple
  • Helping partners navigate recovery dynamics

Individual Therapy

Personal Growth & Healing

Sometimes the work begins individually. For those navigating personal crises, addiction challenges, or relationship patterns that need attention before or alongside couples work.

  • Relationship confusion or breakup
  • Personal crises and life transitions
  • Addiction and recovery challenges
  • Emotional overwhelm and regulation
  • Intimacy and sexual concerns
  • Repeating relationship patterns

All sessions are 50 minutes. Many clients begin as couples and add individual sessions, or vice versa.

Our Approach

A Therapeutic Philosophy Rooted in Connection

Our work integrates evidence-based therapy, deep relational insight, and nervous-system-attuned skills — so you don't just feel understood, you feel changed.

01

Healing Is Relational

Addiction and recovery don't happen in isolation. The relationship is both affected by and central to the healing process. We work with the dynamic between you, not just the individual symptoms.

02

Pain Is Information

What you're experiencing — the conflict, the distance, the mistrust — carries meaning. Rather than rushing past the pain, we learn from it to understand what your relationship truly needs.

03

Growth Takes Time

Real change happens through consistent, ongoing work — not a single breakthrough session. Our 50-minute sessions build on each other, creating sustainable transformation over time.

04

Both Partners Matter

In recovery, both the person struggling with addiction and their partner carry wounds. We honor both experiences and create space for each person to be seen, heard, and supported.

Your Therapist

Randi Levinson

M.A., CCS · Marriage & Family Therapist · Certified Clinical Sexologist · Addiction Therapist

I don't do this work from theory alone. I live inside relationships, complexity, rupture, and repair — just like the people I work with. I'm married, raising teenagers, and continually learning what it means to stay connected, honest, and responsive over time.

For nearly two decades, I've worked as a sex and couples therapist and psychotherapist, supporting individuals and couples from all walks of life to regain connection, trust, desire, and emotional resilience in the face of life's toughest challenges.

I work with adults and couples dealing with disconnection, high conflict, sex addiction, compulsivity, and recovery — not as a label, but as a behavior rooted in nervous-system dysregulation, trauma history, and relational pain.

My approach blends evidence-based therapy, deep relational insight, and nervous-system-attuned skills. Therapy with me is active and collaborative. I'll challenge you when you need it, and meet you with curiosity, warmth, and respect for your story.

Is This For You?

This Work Is For Those Ready to Do the Work

Clients come to this work at turning points — when patterns repeat, when intimacy or trust feels strained, or when a decision can't be avoided much longer.

You don't need to know the answer yet. You don't need to have it figured out. You just need to be willing to show up, be honest, and do the work.

Clients often come when they are experiencing:

Relationship breakdown or crisis
Addiction recovery challenges
Betrayal or trust issues
Major life transitions
Emotional burnout or overwhelm
Intimacy and sexual struggles
Recurring relationship patterns
Decisions about staying, leaving, or rebuilding
Navigating recovery as a couple
Communication that keeps breaking down

Some clients come as individuals. Some come as couples. Many move between both as the work evolves.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Sessions are 50 minutes long and take place on a regular, ongoing basis — typically weekly or biweekly depending on your needs. Each session is structured but responsive to what's most pressing for you and your partner. We may work on communication patterns, process difficult emotions, explore the impact of addiction on your relationship, or practice new skills together.

Both options are available. Some clients begin as couples, some start individually, and many move between both over time. If one partner isn't ready for couples work, individual sessions can lay important groundwork. We'll discuss the best approach for your specific situation during the initial consultation.

We work with both substance use disorders (alcohol, drugs) and behavioral addictions including pornography, gambling, sex and love addiction, and technology/screen compulsivity. The focus is always on how the addiction impacts the relationship and how recovery can be supported within the couple dynamic.

Not necessarily. Couples therapy can be valuable at different stages — whether one partner is actively in recovery, considering getting help, or the couple is navigating the aftermath of addiction. We meet you where you are and work with the reality of your situation.

This practice specializes in the intersection of relationships and addiction. Randi brings nearly two decades of experience as a sex and couples therapist and psychotherapist, with specific training in addiction, trauma, and relational compulsivity. General couples therapists may not have the specialized understanding of how addiction reshapes relationship dynamics.

There's no set timeline — it depends on your goals, the complexity of what you're working through, and the pace that feels right for you. Some couples work together for several months, others for a year or more. The commitment to ongoing, consistent sessions is what creates lasting change.

Yes. Sessions are available both in-person and via secure video call, making it accessible regardless of your location. Many couples find that the consistency of remote sessions fits well with busy schedules and travel commitments.

The first session is about understanding where you are and what brought you here. We'll explore your relationship history, the role addiction has played, and what you're hoping to work toward. It's a space to ask questions, share concerns, and begin building the therapeutic relationship. There's no pressure — just an honest conversation about what's happening and what's possible.
