Couples Counseling

Couples may experience a need for some assistance in helping them understand why areas of their relationship are so painful or frustrating. Other couples may want to take a longer time to exlpore specific emotional areas of their relationship that have been unfulfilling and hurtful. And other couples may want to improve their relationship in order to feel more connected and fulfilled.



Concerns couples frequently express:
Mutual distrust Partner is overly critical Feeling misunderstood by partner Disappointment with their partner Partner's can't connect, feels like there is a wall between them Too close or too demanding - one or both need some space Relationship lacks safety
The aim for couples:
To create a safe space in which couples can connect to each other safely To free couples from their power struggles to teach communication skills (we call this the "couple Dialogue"), which will assist each partner partner to better understand each other. To coach each partner in the "art of containment and listening" in order to create a safe context context for connection To teach and put into practice the skill of converting frustrations that have led to power struggles, struggles into mutual understanding of partner's needs and to learn how to respsond with appropriate healing behaviors in order to meet those needs. To explore the origins of frustrations and to understand how these patterns are producing similar frustrations within my / our current relationship To look inward and discover the qualities in ourselves that we intensely dislike and then project project onto our partner, which have contributed to the frustrations within our relationship, and to learn to recognize and acknowledge them as parts of ourselves To encourage couples to move beyond their power struggles and to learn to accept their partner patner as a whole person desiring to grow and heal emotional injuries from their past Fees 1-2 hour sessions covered by most insurance companies You may have a copayment.
