Marital & Couples Therapy

“Closeness and intimacy to another person is more than just a desire it is a basic human need.” – Unknown

A lack of intimacy can be downright painful and studies show a cause of depression and anxiety. A happy and healthy relationship can bring so much joy and help you through the most stressful of times. On the other hand a troubled relationship can be one of the most stressful experiences imaginable.

When To Come In For Couples Counseling

Couples counseling isn’t just helpful when things are falling apart, it can be helpful at many other times as well. Sometimes when you are taking a new step forward (or backwards) such as moving in together, getting married, having children, or even when you first start dating it can be a great resource to make steps confidently in the right direction.

Couples therapy can also be beneficial if you want to make sure you are still in the best possible place with your relationship and look to deepen it even further.

If however you find that you want to end your relationship, couples therapy is a place where you can receive a non-judgmental environment and receive the communication skills for taking those next steps, especially when children are involved.

How Can Couples Counseling Help?

Relationship Skills- Communication

Most of us have never been taught any relationships skills. We might have learned what we know from what we have seen within our families, from friends, the media, books, movies and the internet, but most of us really have no idea what we are doing other than hoping for the best.

With marital and couples therapy you will work on learning the necessary skills to be successful in your relationship working on developing your communication skills. When you know your needs and how you can best express them to your partner so that they hear you, at the same time learning HOW to listen to your partner and what THEIR needs are, you create the pathway for a strong relationship.

Build a strong, happy, healthy and loving relationship

We will not blame or shame either partner but work together to find the problem areas in the most constructive ways possible. Our goal is to teach you everything we know to help you fix the problems you are expressing. By working together as a team and receiving an outside, professional viewpoint we will work to make each session enjoyable and an uplifting experience for everyone. Couples counseling will help you:

Our Therapy Process

Begin by scheduling your initial appointment. We will pair you with a therapist that we believe will be the best fit for you and your current struggles.

During your initial evaluation we will have the opportunity to build rapport with and you can share your backgrounds and the reasons you are seeking counseling. In addition, we will be able to answer your questions regarding services, and what to expect with each session. With your best interests in mind, you will decide together what kind of treatment will benefit you the most.

At the end of your first session if you decide to move forward we will work on a schedule that works for everyone. Then moving forward, each session will involve set goals as you begin taking the right steps for the best overall therapy experience.
