I believe healing happens in relationships, and I am committed to creating an LGBTQIA+ affirming space where you feel seen, safe, and empowered to navigate identity, life transitions, and emotional pain with hope and support.
I am Dr. Benjamin T. Finlayson, PhD, LMFT-S, a relational and couples therapist specializing in LGBTQIA+ affirming care. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, communication difficulties, identity exploration, and life transitions. My clients often seek deeper connection, stronger communication, and practical tools to build healthier, more satisfying relationships while feeling truly understood and supported in therapy.
I use evidence-based methods including EFT, SFBT, and relational approaches to support clients through relationship growth, conflict resolution, identity exploration, career and family transitions, and personal enrichment. Clients can expect practical tools, compassionate guidance, and strategies to foster meaningful, lasting change.
Seeking support can feel challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I am committed to creating a safe, affirming space where you feel seen and valued. When you're ready, I welcome the opportunity to support you in deepening connection, enhancing communication, and cultivating fulfilling relationships.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with 3 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, couples, and families. My background also includes over 15 years in the healthcare field, which has strengthened my ability to help people improve their relationships with themselves, their partners, and their families. My work focuses on helping clients recognize and transform recurring patterns, reduce blame and shame, and create healthier ways of relating that foster understanding, compassion, and connection.
I earned my master’s in marriage and family therapy from Regis University. I use a humanistic, systemic, and experiential approach, integrating emotionally focused therapy, internal family systems, the Gottman method, and relational life therapy to help clients understand and change unhelpful patterns in their lives.
If you struggle with conflict, disconnection, or communication challenges, you’re not alone. It takes courage to ask for support, and taking that step is the first part of healing. I would be honored to walk beside you as you navigate your journey toward growth, self-awareness, and more fulfilling relationships. Let’s work together toward meaningful change.

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is first to assess the couple's positive behaviors that facilitate relationship building.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling: MBTI for communication preferences, love languages, identifying one's own role in the conflict, and identifying conflicts that can be addressed using communication and problem-solving skills. I ask the couple to agree to work on changes needed to improve their relationship.
When the couple is progressing, they will report an increase in effective and open communication, mutually satisfying intimacy, and intentional time for companionship.
Couples can supplement their time in counseling by completing homework assignments prior to sessions, being committed to the process, observing escalating behavior, and implementing a time-out signal to stop without debate.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, be prepared to identify the positive aspects of the relationship, current ongoing problems and attempts to solve these, and the circumstances that are contributing to the lack of fulfillment in the relationship.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
No matter if you have just started dating or have been dating for years, no couple is stranger to an argument here and there. However, it is when those arguments and bickering go on and on and on that it becomes a problem. While many couples do seek couples counseling to help them overcome their problems, many couples also seek counseling so that they can turn their good relationship into a great one. So whether you are facing an uphill battle or just have a little bump in the road, you and your partner could benefit from working with a licensed professional. At Thriveworks Pueblo Counseling, we have a dedicated team of couples therapists who are ready to help you start now. Just give us a call.
Couples counseling has one main goal: to help you and your partner tackle your challenges and achieve your goals. In order to do so, your therapist will first start off by assessing you both individually in order to better understand where the cracks are in your relationship. Then with the knowledge they have based on your situations, they are able to create a comprehensive plan of action that focuses on working through your issues, improving communication, and reaching the goals you set in place. To make this happen, they will use their training and expertise to use a variety of different methods to help you tackle things like:
Here at Thriveworks Pueblo Counseling, we help couples work through many different things. Below is a more comprehensive list of reasons why we frequently see partners in couples counseling:
