Ready to stop the same arguments?
If you’re tired of going in circles and want something to actually change, I can help. I work with couples across Michigan via telehealth..
I’m a straight shooter.
I will tell you what I see.
Not to judge you—but to help you understand what’s actually happening between you.
Most couples don’t need more advice.
They need to see the patterns they’re caught in—and how they’re each contributing to them.
I’ve seen these patterns play out in countless couples over the years.
I’m warm and compassionate.
But I won’t collude with patterns that keep you stuck.
Real change begins when you’re willing to:
--look inward
--take responsibility
--engage honestly in the work
This isn’t about blame.
It’s about creating safety, accountability, and real connection.
That’s where things start to shift.
✔️ Get off the argument spiral
✔️ Rebuild trust after betrayal
✔️ Bring closeness back into your day-to-day
✔️ Communicate deeply without anxiety

Are ready to do the work
I’m Suanne Zager, LMSW, and I help couples find their way back to each other — especially when they feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure if the relationship can truly heal.
For more than four decades, I’ve sat with individuals and couples during some of the most vulnerable, honest, and emotionally charged moments of their lives.
Over time, I’ve learned that lasting change in relationships doesn’t come from quick fixes or surface-level strategies — it comes from slowing down, telling the truth, and learning how to stay emotionally present when it matters most.
I offer telehealth-only couples therapy for Michigan residents, using evidence-informed methods shaped by decades of clinical practice. Clients often tell me that what feels different here is the combination of emotional safety and steady guidance — especially during moments when conversations feel overwhelming or impossible elsewhere.
If you’re ready to move beyond repeating the same arguments and toward a relationship that feels more grounded, connected, and real, this work can help.
Helpful Reading:
If you are coming to therapy hoping your partner will change, this is worth reading first.
Most couples are stuck in the same argument on repeat — this explains why and what to do about it.
You don’t have to wait for your relationship to be in crisis to start therapy. You just have to be ready to stop pretending everything’s fine.
Sessions are conducted via secure telehealth, so you can meet from the comfort of your home anywhere in Michigan. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe but real — no forced homework, no judgment. Just steady, honest work that helps you feel connected again.
I believe every journey is unique and offer therapy plans tailored to your
needs.
No, I don’t know of any insurance that will reimburse for marriage or couples counseling. Our work will be private pay only.
When you work with me, you are benefiting from more than four decades of clinical experience — including years spent teaching and supervising other couples therapists. My fees reflect that depth of expertise and the selective, focused practice I maintain.
