About Couples Counseling
Couples counseling is a psychotherapy that helps partners in committed relationships and marriages build tools to maintain the relationship, navigate conflict, adjust to life transitions, and focus on safety, trust, vulnerability and intimacy.
Common Challenges
- Roommate syndrome: co-existing and managing the household, but have lost emotional or physical intimacy
- Conflict Cycles: Arguments over small things, like the dishes, are masking deeper, unexpressed issues that have led to built-up resentment.
- Communication Gridlock: Every conversation turns into a fight, or the core issues of the argument keep changing.
- Life transitions: Navigating the stress of new babies, job loss, or mid-life shift that has caused changes in the relationship.
How We Work
- Couples Counseling:
- Provides a neutral, unbiased space to deconstruct who said what and illuminate the emotions driving the conflict.
- Practical tools and resources to gain a better understanding, learn, or relearn aspects of your partner
- Allows you to learn how to express needs without blaming and listen without defensiveness
