Couples Counseling and Therapy
A healthy partnership often requires compromise. A loving partnership often requires sacrifice. With the guidance and support of a skilled practitioner, couples can work through many of the challenges and conflicts that were previously difficult to resolve. Couples therapy can help restore passion, compassion, and mutual respect. Your relationship may become even stronger than before through couples counseling.
Not unlike Family Therapy, Couple’s Therapy involves examining each individual in the relationship and the problems they present within the relationship. The presenting problems are then analyzed and addressed in a non-confrontational and understanding manner so that each person has a chance to voice their emotions and concerns. This involves learning and implementing effective communication techniques, instilling or reestablishing trust, understanding the differing love styles, attachment styles, and love language each partner needs in a intimate relationship. Concerns regarding sexuality and intimacy, navigating through financial stressors, dealing with past grievances, and working through “irreconcilable differences” are also paramount & discussed in couples counseling.
Couple’s therapy is not only done to preserve your relationship, but in the unfortunate event this cannot be maintained, it is a useful tool in navigating a separation or divorce for the benefit of all parties concerned.
