“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
Diving deeper into relationships.
A few minutes with our founder, Brooke Sprowl, LCSW — on the patterns that keep business partners stuck, and how we work with them.
The same standoff in every meeting.
If you’re both nodding — that’s exactly where we begin.
Partnership therapy that gets to the root.
Starting a business with someone is one of the most intense relationships you will ever have. The same partnership that once felt like a shared mission can start to feel tense, lopsided, or even adversarial.
If you’re here searching for therapy for business partners, you probably want the partnership to work again but you may not know where to start.
At My LA Therapy, our therapists offer personalized, research-based partnership therapy in a confidential and safe environment to untangle conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen how you lead together.
Over time, small disagreements harden into standoffs — and the partner you trusted most starts to feel like an obstacle.
A trained therapist can guide you both back to clarity, respect, and shared direction before the trust that built the business wears any thinner.
Partnerships take many shapes.
Uncover the root of the problems you’re experiencing.
In partnership therapy, you will learn how both you and your partner play a role in the problems within the business relationship — and, with the guidance of our therapists, how to change the dynamics.
- Learn how both of you play a role in the problems
- Talk openly in a safe environment
- Identify the pain points in the partnership

- Make decisions together without the standoff
- Build a stronger, more sustainable partnership
Not the next name
in a directory — the right one,
chosen for you.
Every therapist on our roster is personally vetted and trained by our founder, Brooke Sprowl, LCSW — 20 years in clinical practice, and most applicants turned away. So when we match you and your partner, it’s to someone who actually works with founders and business partners, not a generalist with a free slot.
Partnership work that changes the underlying patterns.
Our therapists are trained in research-based relationship methods. Each approach below targets the patterns underneath the conflict, and your therapist draws on the ones that fit how you and your partner get stuck.
How we support business partners in therapy.
Three research-based methods, plus an optional strategy add-on from our founder.
Our founder Brooke Sprowl’s signature approach starts with what happens in each partner’s body under pressure. When the nervous system reads threat, you push, withdraw, or shut down.
- ✓Notice when each of you shifts into fight, flight, or shutdown
- ✓Slow the reactive cycle before a meeting escalates
- ✓Co-regulate instead of escalate
- ✓Repair faster after a rupture
- ✓Build enough safety for hard conversations about money and roles
- ✓Stay steady with your partner under stress
A structured way to say what you need without blame, and hear what sits underneath your partner’s position.
- ✓Separate observations from judgments
- ✓Name the need under each position
- ✓Make clear, doable requests
- ✓Hear criticism without defending
- ✓Replace ultimatums with negotiation
- ✓Keep disagreements about the business, not each other
Practical tools for noticing the thinking traps that turn disagreements into standoffs.
- ✓Catch catastrophizing about the business
- ✓Challenge black-and-white thinking about your partner
- ✓Separate facts from assumptions
- ✓Regulate before making big decisions
- ✓Build communication skills you can practice between sessions
- ✓Replace blame with problem-solving
For partners who also want help with the business itself, our founder offers strategy consulting built on her Missional Integrity Model — a four-part operating system for aligned growth.
- ✓ALIGN — accept feedback, lead with integrity, name your north star
- ✓LEAD — find your levers, delegate, automate, and deploy AI
- ✓DRIVE — build demand with messaging that resonates
- ✓SCALE — build infrastructure that grows without breaking you
- ✓A priority map and 90-day execution plan
- ✓Offered as a strategy intensive, a 90-day engagement, or an advisory retainer
Nervous System-Based Therapy for business partners.
Our proprietary method developed by our founder after twenty years in practice, and the backbone of how we work with business partners. Most standoffs are two nervous systems reading threat at once. That's where conflict escalates and spirals.
Real-time autonomic tracking & coregulation
When one partner’s alarm fires, the other’s usually follows. We track both nervous systems in the room and teach you to settle each other instead of escalating.
Defense system mapping & pattern interruption
Control, withdrawal, and defensiveness are defenses that once kept each of you safe. We identify and compassionately interrupt them to break the cycle between you.
Somatic & nervous system-based communication
Rebuild the felt sense of safety that lets hard conversations happen — so repair comes faster, and decisions move again.

Control, withdrawal, and defensiveness are defenses that once kept each of you safe. We identify and compassionately interrupt them to break the cycle between you.
