Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy involves meeting with a therapist to understand and resolve relationship difficulties within romantic relationships. We offer counseling and therapy for married and non-married couples and we welcome same-sex couples.

Couples therapy can be helpful for couples who find themselves engaging in frequent conflict, experiencing unsatisfying communication patterns, having power or control struggles, experiencing betrayal, having sexual difficulties, or experiencing other threats to their relationship. With the assistance of the therapist, many couples develop a more intimate, satisfying, and healthy relationship, and learn skills that help the relationship continue to grow after the therapy has ended.

• Increasing the positives:
  All couples have strengths and times when things have gone well within their relationship. Couples therapy draws on the strengths of each individual in the relationship as well as on the strengths of the relationship itself, to foster new growth and a renewed sense of connection.
• Decreasing the negatives:
  Similarly, all couples have struggles and problems that often seem impossible to overcome. Couples therapy involves the development of mutually agreed therapy goals to increase the couple’s ability to engage in healthy communication, conflict resolution and cooperative goal setting. These skills can help couples learn to resolve past relationship difficulties and to deal more effectively with future conflict.
