Couples

No matter what type of life you live, you are probably surrounded by relationships. Relationships should provide individuals with a sense of happiness and fulfillment, but can often end up in fighting and hurt feelings.

Relationship counseling involves working with clients on a wide variety of relationships that can include:

Spouses (marriage, co-habitation, or civil partnership)
Children
Family Members
In-laws
Blended/Extended family
Boyfriends, or Girlfriends
Friends

Gottman Method

Emotionally Focused Therapy is an evidenced-based model that moves couples from distress to recovery in 70-75% of cases and creates improvement in 90% of couples coming in for therapy. Therapy involves exploration and identification of negative interactional patterns that occur in your relationship. These patterns are seen as the enemy that is separating you and your partner. Your therapist then guides you in a deeper understanding and expression of emotions that are driving these patterns. Coaching you in new, positive interactions, your therapist helps you rebuild and strengthen your connection. Whether you want to enrich your relationship or need support getting through a stressful period, couples counseling can improve feelings of safety, security, and trust.
