Head vs Heart Coaching
Ariel Brewer, PhD
Bringing you back home to each other
This marriage holds your history—
your laughter, your struggles, your triumphs.
You’ve been through so much together, survived things that could’ve broken you.
That kind of love doesn’t just disappear, it just gets buried under all the hurt and disappointment, until you're completely disconnected and can't seem to get through to them at all. The fun is gone, the passion died, and you're wondering where your best friend went.
~But~
It's still worth fighting for.
Because deep down—you know it still matters.
My Stance
Head vs Heart Coaching combines the best of both worlds. Head and Heart. Our head provide us with a wealth of information, but we must also rely on our heart's wisdom to guide the way. Connection is the goal. And connection is felt, not just known by the mind.
My rigorous scientific background in Integrative Neuroscience greatly enhances my ability to solve your relationship issues since I am trained to focus on the details that others might miss. I am very detail-oriented and am able to hone in on where exactly your relationship problems are coming from. I break down your issues, find the patterns, and figure out what's actually going on beneath the surface. The devil really is in the details and I zero in on them like a hawk.
I have extensive training in somatic work and specialized couples therapy methodology that allows me to offer you a comprehensive and unique approach to relationship healing that goes well beyond traditional therapy. I use a direct approach which is geared towards rapid movement by healing your issues at the root, so you don't need to spend years in the traditional therapeutic model.
I don't waste time on band-aid level solutions (like communications techniques) for symptoms (such as fighting). We dig deeper and heal at the root to create a fundamental relationship transformation that's permanent, so you can have an intimate, passionate, and fulfilling relationship for the rest of your life.
My specialized approach helps couples rebuild trust and intimacy— even when everything else has failed.

Client Experiences
The Process
One
We start off with phase 1, which is
a deep dive into EXACTLY where you are struggling the most.
My goal here is to get a granular understanding of your dynamic so I know precisely where we need to focus our work together.
Two
In phase 2, we focus on actually moving the needle by doing subconscious work like somatic therapy and inner child work. This is geared directly and specifically towards what we discover in phase 1.
Three
Then and only then can we start learning skills like communication techniques or conflict resolution tools. And to be honest, this is where most therapists will focus, and in my opinion, it’s missing the forest for the trees. We need to build the capacity to do this work first. Otherwise, you are going to fall RIGHT back into old patterns.
I’m with you every step of the way. This isn’t a “see you next week” kind of program—I don’t just hand you tools and hope for the best. I walk alongside you, offering consistent guidance and support until you find steady, lasting ground.
And you absolutely will!
