Couples Counseling

Things have changed since the wedding bells rang.

The honeymoon phase was so long ago that you can’t even remember what it was like. Now, you come and go, and everything seems focused on DOING. No one pauses to check in. When you speak, there are few words – and more words are filled with sarcasm and exude irritation.

The words hurt, and each exchange adds another brick to the wall. You’re looking for a window to see if there’s a glimpse of the person you still love exists. Yes, you still love them, but there’s so much hurt.

You can’t understand why they would ignore you or say such mean words. You feel lonely, hurt, and disappointed. Having these negative feelings is not how you imagined your relationship would be.

There’s a big disconnect. The wall is tall and thick. Finding other things to do seems more straightforward than breaking the wall down. Besides, where would you begin? You don’t understand why either of you gets upset at the seemingly most minor things.

Let’s get you moving forward.

We’ll use Emotionally Focused Therapy ( https://iceeft.com/what-is-eft/ ) and other interventions.

Just imagine being in a warm, welcoming space where you can share your thoughts, feelings, frustrations, disappointments, pain, and needs with the person closest to you with the help of an unbiased person who genuinely wants to help you reconnect.

Removing the bricks of the walls you’ve built in therapy sessions is safe.

During our sessions together…

…we’ll explore your attachment styles, triggers, needs, and desires. We’ll help you understand how your family of origin shaped your view of relationships, why you respond to specific situations, and what you need from your partner.

Together, we will explore new ways of communicating and expressing your feelings. We’ll focus on listening to understand and validate instead of listening to defend yourself. Yes, we’ll slow down to ensure listening, validating, and gaining clarity become a part of your conversations.

We will create a safe space where you and your partner can be vulnerable.

Let’s make your relationship journey one in which connection, closeness, understanding, and appreciation exist.

Imagine a renewed relationship.

After being in therapy consistently, you’ll better understand yourself and each other.

Using the tools you learn, you can have difficult conversations instead of avoiding them. You won’t need to hide your feelings out of fear of being dismissed. Instead, you’ll be willing to be vulnerable and authentic with each other, knowing that the other is interested and cares.

You’ll be aware of your needs, your partner’s needs, and the relationship’s needs. And the cherry on top is that you’ll know how to meet those needs or ask how. You’ll also enjoy spending time together. Even though life can be busy, you’ll have something to look forward to because you know someone is waiting to connect with you.

Whether therapy is in-person or virtual, the impact is real – fostering connection, understanding, empathy, acceptance, and a path toward a more fulfilling relationship journey.

Couples counseling can make a difference.
