Couples and Marital Therapy

Relationships or a marriage require maintenance.

Many challenges can alter a relationship or marriage, causing a breakdown in what was a wonderful experience.

Finances, infidelity, children, individual preferences, and other issues can cause either a relationship or marriage to get off track, sometimes resulting in a permanent split.

Alternatively, your marriage might not be nearing the point of no return, but things have plateaued and need a boost for the next ascent.

The two of you may need ideas for how to stay connected despite all the distractions in your busy lives.

The secret is to seek help early.

Couples therapy provides a safe and professional setting where the two of you can learn how to stay connected and maintain a supportive and loving relationship.

Building a better relationship involves developing a better before and after, a line in the sand, and a clear distinction between old and new.

We’ll teach you practical communication skills, work on “owning” and changing problem behaviors, identify guiding values, and create hope for building this new relationship.

Many tools are available for proper maintenance.

We use various approaches in working with couples, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a humanistic approach, the Gottman Method, and principles for couples therapy developed by Terrence Real.

We also utilize the powerful therapy offered by Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR facilitates healing from past trauma, corrects “core negative beliefs” about one’s self and the world, and is often the key to a successful outcome in couples therapy.

We tailor our approach to meet your circumstances and issues.

Try something new to boost your relationship.

Our approach to therapy is about creating a “new” relationship or marriage.

We have led couples through healing from infidelity and other forms of betrayal and broken trust.

Don’t wait until things break down. With maintenance, your relationship or marriage can stay on track.
