COUPLES THERAPY
“The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.” – Hubert Humphrey
Couples Therapy
Having a neutral person to help you navigate conflicts within the family dynamic and in relationships is key. As your therapist, I will help you resolve conflicts.
There are many reasons why a couple might seek couples counseling. Some reasons that bring couples to therapy are
Infidelity
Sexual desire discrepancy
High conflict
Premarital counseling
Bickering/spiteful interactions
Helping couples who want to break up successfully
Blended families
Parenting challenges
Domestic violence
Poor communication
Lack of connection
In couples counseling, partners learn to be emotionally available for their partners, empathetic and engaged with each other, strengthening their attachment bond and the felt sense of safety between them. New positive cycles of emotional responses are developed and create a permanent change in the relationship, creating a healing environment for both partners.
Couples Reunification
Can separated couple’s still reconcile?
If you and your partner have decided on a trial separation to fix your relationship issues, you need to get one thing straight: Unless you work together on those issues, don’t expect change. Nothing will be different when you reunite, unless you’ve made changes in your relationship. Once your relational space has become polluted, it’s not immediately cleansed by a separation. If you want the space to become sacred once more, the only way is through couples counseling. Couples need an expert to learn how to navigate through the gauntlet they co-created. Separating is just that: separating. It doesn’t include healing. Healing requires a professional, time, money, and, most of all, commitment.
“Nearly half of all separated couples give it another go. Science has an explanation—and with the right mindset, reuniting may not be such a bad idea, after all.”
