About Growing Apart
Reconnection Therapy for Couples in Santa Monica & Los Angeles
Many couples don’t drift apart dramatically — they drift quietly. Life gets busy, intimacy fades, and the connection that once felt effortless starts to feel like something you have to remember to tend to. By the time couples seek help for growing apart, they often describe feeling like roommates rather than partners.
Dr. Sally Hackman, PhD, MFT, helps couples in Santa Monica and Los Angeles rediscover the connection that brought them together — and build a closeness that is more conscious, more honest, and more durable than the one they started with.
Key Points
Rediscovering Each Other.
Empowering Resilience
Understand the gradual patterns of withdrawal, busyness, and emotional distance — and develop the skills and habits that sustain intimacy over the long term.
Healing Space
Sessions provide protected time and space to focus on the relationship — something that often gets crowded out by the demands of daily life.
Transformative Support
Dr. Hackman helps couples explore what they want from the relationship now — not just what they once had — and build toward a connection that fits who they both are today.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Your Relationship Matters.
Connection is not something that either exists or doesn’t — it is something that can be rebuilt, deepened, and actively tended. Many couples find that the reconnection they achieve in therapy is richer and more intentional than anything they experienced before.

Common Questions
Yes — it is extremely common, especially during busy life phases, after major transitions, or in the aftermath of conflict or disappointment. It does not mean the relationship is over; it means it needs attention.
Sometimes growing apart reflects genuine changes in who each person is and what they want. Therapy helps couples explore this honestly — and make informed, respectful decisions, whether that means renewed commitment or a thoughtful uncoupling.
