Dr. Elle Sullivan, Ph.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
What if many of the struggles couples face aren't communication problems at all — but navigation problems? Dr. Elle Sullivan created the Inner Compass framework to help couples recognize the internal patterns guiding how they react, decide, and relate to each other.
Dr. Elle Sullivan is a licensed clinical psychologist, published author, and coach who has spent nearly two decades working with individuals and couples — in private practice, at Columbia University, and on faculty at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. In that time, she kept seeing the same thing: people trying to connect while being pulled in different directions by old patterns, emotional reactivity, and the relentless voice of the inner critic. Over time, she organized those observations into the Inner Compass framework — a practical way of understanding the internal signals that shape how people navigate conflict, uncertainty, and the people they love most.
Dr. Elle built this webinar series because teaching these ideas genuinely lights her up. Again and again, she has watched people experience a real shift the moment they understood what was actually happening inside their own minds — and inside their partner's. The goal of this program is simple: to bring those insights out of the therapy room and into a format couples can explore together.
