Couples Counseling
Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill? Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop every night? Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting apart? If you and your partner are not communicating well or at all it may be one of the reasons to consider couples therapy.
In couples therapy, you’ll learn strategies to communicate more effectively by verbalizing feelings/ wants/needs using “I” statements, listening attentively, clarifying what you heard, providing feedback that is encouraging and the value of time-outs if conversations begin to heat up.
Some issues that bring couples to therapy are:
- Addiction/Partner Addiction Support
- Balance (Work/Life/Family)
- Blended Families
- Chronic Illness
- Divorce
- Extended Family
- Infidelity/Cheating
- Intimacy
- Mental Illness
- Pre-Marital/Readiness
- Pornography
- Sex
Learn to respect each other for your differences as well as your commonalities. Choose your battles. Seek a win/win in solving problems. Take responsibility for your part in any given situation and avoid blaming.
Couples counseling can help bridge the gap from blaming to loving.
I look forward to hearing from you.
