Marriage and Couples Therapy
Couples therapy provides a safe place to facilitate effective communication between you and your partner. If you have been fighting for weeks or months, it can be difficult to look past the immediate situation or issue without an objective party to help neutralize the high emotions you may be feeling. Your therapist will help get you to a place of understanding and negotiation, moving past the immediate stressor and examining the bigger picture.
Couples Therapy Benefits
Typical couples therapy goals include: improving or creating healthy communication, understanding conflict resolution, learning how to “fight fair”, and improving your style of communication, as both the listener and communicator. If you are in a relationship and find that your negative interactions outweigh the positive interactions, you may benefit from couples therapy.
Why Start Couples Therapy?
Some common reasons why couples seek therapy are: engaging in frequent conflicts, unable to communicate effectively, experience power and control struggles, experience betrayal from their partner, or are having difficulties with being intimate. Couples learn how to interrupt or even prevent the negative patterns from continuing by being aware of the triggers and patterns, and developing new behaviors to replace the old patterns that were not working.
How can couples therapy help me?
You can develop a healthier, more satisfying relationship. You will learn new skills and take them with you to use long after therapy has ended. Once you have learned how to talk effectively with your partner, you will have a greater appreciation for each other as separate individuals and your relationship will grow.
Client Feedback
Transformative experience that changed my life for the better.
I am so grateful that my child had the opportunity to benefit from your well thought out therapeutic approaches. I believe it will have a life long impact, and help her navigate life, as it continues to give her something to draw on.
Erica worked with us for 10 years from 2nd grade through high school. She was able to change the course of his schooling and meet his needs that were NOT being met by the school system. There's no way we could have navigated this alone without her expertise.
When we hit a roadblock, we are still able to draw upon the tools we were given in the summer work shop to work through obstacles. I can reminder that she can do this, and that she has the tools by encouraging her to reflect on what she learned about self advocacy, organization, journaling etc.
