Your relationship can be improved. Starting couples therapy may seem scary, as admitting your relationship is troubled is hard to do. Deciding to work on your relationship does not mean you will be in therapy forever, nor does it mean your relationship is doomed for failure. Couples therapy is a sign of your commitment to your relationship, with you and your partner declaring that your relationship is important and worth the time and effort.
You won’t be blamed or criticized in my office. Who would want to go through that? My process is different, one of collaboration, understanding, and respect. We will work to understand what is going wrong in your relationship, and in a relatively brief period of time, start making changes!
I use an approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy, find out more about it on my counseling services page.
Often couples get into a negative cycle of arguing which is hard to recover from. During the fights, it is very difficult to hear your partner, or to have your partner understand you. After a while, many couples start to give up, thinking that things will never change.
Don’t let the arguments continue . . . I’d like to help before things get worse.
