Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling
Do you and your love feel stuck in the same conversational pattern over and over? Are trivial triggers spiraling into fights about core issues from the past? Does it feel like no matter what the topic, the conversation ends up the same way—in tears, frustration, and isolation?
Often when couples call us, they are having trouble communicating.
More frequently than not, rather than really listening to our partners, we are formulating our response while our partner is talking.
What happens then is that nobody feels heard, nobody feels acknowledged, nobody feels understood, and this wedge drives couples further and further away from the intimacy and secure attachment that we all crave so deeply and is available to all us.
Couples therapy provides couples—unmarried, pre-marital, and married—with an alternative to feeling helpless and confused in love. Frequent areas that couples therapy addresses include:
Improving communication skills
Intimacy and sex
Infidelity and Affairs
Finances
Pre-marital counseling
Family planning
Addiction and Codependency
Family-of-origin issues
In our sessions, we will:
Identify your patterns that lead to negative interaction loops
Learn and implement communication and active listening skills
Explore negative thought patterns and negative interpretations preventing you from fully connecting with your partner
Secure the attachment and deepen the foundation through the development of healthy love and secure functioning
Explore family-of-origin issues and how these affect the way we communicate and attach in our intimate relationships.
