COUPLES THERAPY
Make an AppointmentCouples therapy focuses on addressing challenges in the relationship with a therapist who objectively seeks to understand each partner. We actively collaborate to discern insights into feelings, beliefs, and behaviors in order to improve the health of the relationship. These discernments generally lead to the creation of goals and a plan of action for change.
These are the types of issues and concerns that can be addressed in couples therapy sessions:
- anxiety
- depression
- PTSD
- complex trauma
- eating disorders
- LGBTQIA
- gender identity
- sexual identity
- addiction
- substance abuse
- coping skills
- infidelity
- codependency
- parenting
- peer relationships
- infertility
- pregnancy
- prenatal/postpartum depression
- school issues
- self-esteem
- spirituality
- stress
- anger management
- disassociation
Some common questions that bring people to couples counseling are:
How do we decide if we should marry, separate or divorce?
How do we deal with our sexual misalignment?
How do we stop our constant fighting?
How can we make our relationship stronger?
How can we deal with infidelity?
In couples therapy sessions, issues and concerns can be addressed through mindfulness and meditation; person-centered, emotion-centered, and solution-focused techniques; family systems theory; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing; cognitive behavioral methods; parts work approaches; and the Gottman method.
