Therapy for Relationships
Growth and change within relationships is often difficult and painful. After initial attraction and new relationship energy fades, our relationships can become a power struggle where we become adversaries rather than partners. In our desire to have our needs met, we can make relationship-damaging mistakes or bad choices.
As a couples’ therapists, our goal is to help each individual work towards a safe and satisfying realization of themselves as individuals through and within their relationship - regardless of the relationship stage, sexual orientation, or culture.
Using principles from leading couples models including Imago Relationship Therapy®, Gottman, and Adult Attachment Theory, we help our couples clients find healing through the relationship by helping you to establish healthy communication based on honesty and vulnerability. We believe that our partner(s) hold the key to our healing - once we can remove projections from our childhood and learn to both listen deeply and ask for what we need.
Relationship counseling is also useful for couples prior to entering life-long commitments (pre-marital counseling or life partnership). Many people find that marriage is more work than they bargained for, and need help balancing their personal needs and desires with those of their partners. Adopting successful relationship strategies and practices before making a major commitment will help you and your partner establish healthy communication, practices, and connection that is lasting and strong.
In our couples work, we use the current problems in your relationship to foster awareness, growth and positive change. We ask our clients to bring courage and a willingness to examine and challenge old communication patterns, beliefs, and dysfunctional patterns of conflict. This therapy requires hard work, commitment to change, and a respect for both individuals and the relationship - and can yield incredible intimacy, connection, and healing.
