There’s love here. Respect. Shared goals. A life you’ve worked hard to build.
Between careers, parenting, and managing day-to-day life, it seems like you have it all. But somewhere along the way, something changed.
Conversations have become more about logistics than connection. Needs go unspoken or get lost in translation. You’re still doing life together, but the emotional rhythm feels off.
You've each done a lot of work. But even with all that growth, the kind of connection and emotional wellbeing you really want still feels out of reach. That’s where I come in.
My approach blends meaningful insight with real-life tools. I help couples like you reconnect through honest conversations, emotional clarity, and steady support.
Hi. I'm Paul Sullivan
therapist • husband • father
Here are 3 things you should know about me:
1. I partner with you actively.
I bring my whole self - insight, warmth, and honest feedback - so you can bring yours. Sessions are engaging, collaborative, and focused on real connection.
My guidance is grounded in real-life experience and practices I’ve used to build connections, navigate challenges, and create lasting change.
2. I believe in deep, meaningful change that lasts.
The most successful couples I’ve helped are open-minded and flexible thinkers who are ready to do the work. Our shared goal will be a transformation of your mind, body, and heart.
You don’t have to become someone else to feel close again. Together, we’ll create space for both of you to feel seen, heard, and understood in ways that feel real and lasting.

FAQs About Success & Wellbeing Counseling and Therapy
We’ve done therapy before, and it didn’t work. How will this be different?
I don’t just listen and nod while you talk. I don’t let you spin in the same patterns for months. And I won’t leave you wondering what to do when you walk out the door.
I give clear, direct feedback. I help you understand what’s happening in the moment and what needs to shift.
We don’t just talk about your relationship. We work on how it functions in real life.
That means real tools, structured support, and a clear path forward.Clients tell me they feel seen, respected, and challenged in a good way.
You’ll leave each session knowing exactly what you’re working on and how it connects to the relationship you want to build.
We’re high-functioning in most areas. Why does our relationship feel so hard?
You’re successful because you’ve developed strong skills like discipline, communication, leadership, and follow-through. But most people were never taught how to apply those skills to emotional connection, especially in a long-term relationship.
Relationships aren’t hard because you’re doing something wrong. They feel hard when needs aren’t clearly named, when patterns go unspoken, and when communication breaks down under pressure.
High-functioning couples often get stuck because they’ve outgrown old ways of relating and don’t yet have a new structure that works.
That’s the work I help you do: naming what’s not working, getting aligned, and building a relationship that feels as solid as the life you’ve created around it.
What is the difference between success and wellbeing?
Success is an external structure. It’s what you’ve built through effort, planning, and discipline. It’s your career, your family system, your ability to keep things moving forward.
Wellbeing is the internal experience. It’s how those structures feel to live inside of every day. It’s the emotional quality of your connection, your sense of stability, and whether your relationship feels like a place of support or strain.
The difference lies in the gap between what works on paper and what actually feels good. My approach to counseling lives in that space, helping couples bring success and wellbeing into alignment so your relationship becomes something that nourishes, not depletes.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes, I offer online therapy in Boston and across Massachusetts via a confidential, HIPAA-compliant teletherapy platform.
How soon can we get started?
We can get started as soon as this week if you’re ready. The next step is to reach out and schedule a complimentary consultation.
