Couples Therapy

Are you getting what you want in your relationship? With differing expectations and approaches to achieving goals, couples may find that things aren’t unfolding as smoothly as they'd hoped. Couples therapy provides a space to uncover what’s really going on and to learn new skills that can help you connect more deeply with your partner. Some challenges can include:

  • Couples therapy can help couples identify and break down barriers to effective communication, such as misunderstandings, negative patterns, and unspoken expectations. By learning to listen actively, express needs clearly, and respond with empathy, couples can reshape their interactions, reducing conflict and fostering a deeper, more meaningful connection.

  • Couples therapy provides a supportive space for partners to address and heal from past hurts, misunderstandings, and unresolved conflicts. Many people have never been modeled how they can repair a rupture in the relationship, which can warp normal conflicts into intense, anxious experiences. Through guided conversations and therapeutic techniques, couples can rebuild trust, re-establish connection, and repair emotional wounds, allowing the relationship to move forward with greater understanding and resilience.

  • Therapy helps couples deepen their emotional and physical connection by exploring barriers to intimacy and fostering open, honest communication about desires and needs. By addressing underlying issues and nurturing positive interactions, therapy encourages couples to reconnect and enhance the closeness and affection in their relationship.

  • Infidelity can deeply damage trust and security in a relationship. Couples therapy offers a path to healing by providing a structured environment to process emotions, rebuild trust, and understand the underlying issues that led to the betrayal. Couples can work through the pain and confusion, ultimately deciding whether to rebuild the relationship with a stronger foundation of honesty and commitment.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

EFT helps couples identify and change negative patterns in their relationship by focusing on emotions and attachment needs. It fosters a deeper emotional connection, allowing partners to respond to each other's needs with empathy and compassion.

Gottman Method

This method is based on over 40 years of research and offers practical tools to enhance communication, manage conflict, and build a strong foundation of friendship and intimacy. It emphasizes the importance of understanding each other's perspectives and nurturing positive interactions.

Restoration Therapy

This approach combines principles from attachment theory and mindfulness to help couples understand and break cycles of pain and reaction. It empowers couples to take responsibility for their emotional responses and to restore trust and safety in their relationship.

“Real intimacy is born precisely out of the impact of your human imperfection with mine and how we both handle the maddening, endearing, challenging, and creative collision.”

— Terry Real
