Couples & Family Counseling
in New Port Richey, FL
Relationships are worth fighting for — and sometimes they need skilled, compassionate support to thrive. Our team helps couples and families improve communication, navigate conflict, and rebuild the connection that matters most.
Compassionate, Collaborative Relationship Care
No relationship or family is without struggle. What separates those who grow from conflict from those who are consumed by it is access to the right support at the right time. Our team creates a safe, neutral space where every voice is heard and every member of the system is respected.
At Alternative Solutions Counseling, our licensed marriage and family therapists — including Share Kelley (RMFT-I), Danelle Perrizo (RMFT-I), Troy Bishop (LMHC), and Gabby Lafond (LCSW) — bring specialized training in relational, attachment-based, and family systems approaches to every session.
Whether you're a couple navigating a specific crisis, a blended family finding new footing, or a parent struggling to connect with a teenager, our goal is the same: help you rebuild communication, restore trust, and rediscover the love and connection that brought you together.
Two Paths to Stronger Relationships
Whether it's a relationship between two people or the complex web of a whole family, we have a specialized approach for where you are right now.
For couples at any stage — whether you're navigating a specific crisis, growing apart over time, or simply want to strengthen what you already have. We create a safe, neutral space where both partners are heard and both perspectives matter.

We Work With All Relationship Configurations
Every relationship is unique. We work without judgment with all family structures, backgrounds, and relationship stages — meeting you exactly where you are.
At any stage of marriage — from early tension to long-term disconnection — with or without children in the picture.
Couples preparing for marriage who want to build a strong foundation before challenges arise — not just after.
Families navigating parenting challenges, behavioral issues, school struggles, or breakdown in the parent-child relationship.
New families finding their rhythm — navigating loyalty conflicts, role definitions, co-parenting dynamics, and building shared identity.
Families managing deployment, the transition back to civilian life, and the unique relational strain that service brings — with a therapist who has lived it.
We work with all couples and families regardless of structure, orientation, or background — in a fully affirming, nonjudgmental environment.
Signs Your Relationship or Family Could Benefit from Counseling

What to Expect When You Start
Every relationship and family system is different. Our process is flexible enough to meet yours — while still being structured enough to produce real, lasting results.
A no-pressure call to understand your situation, answer questions, and match you with the right therapist for your relationship's specific dynamics.
Your therapist gathers each person's perspective — communication styles, conflict patterns, history, and goals — to build an accurate picture without taking sides.
Together, we identify what a healthier relationship actually looks like for your specific situation — and map an honest path to get there.
Evidence-based techniques — CBT, EFT, attachment-based approaches, family systems therapy — applied in session with tools you practice between appointments.
Real growth happens at home. We give you practical tools — communication exercises, de-escalation techniques, connection rituals — to use in daily life.
We close with a relapse-prevention plan and the skills to navigate future challenges independently — so the gains last long after sessions end.
