Couples Counseling
Are you finding that your relationship is caught in a cycle of anger, blaming, withdrawal, hurt, and pain? Do you long for the love and deep connection that use to define your relationship? Maybe it has gone from terrible fights and then to not communicating at all.
You and your partner may feel more like roommates than romantic lovers. Are you afraid that your partner no longer loves you, stopped caring for your feelings or needs, or seems to prefer doing life away from spending time with you?
Do you want to work on reconnecting with your spouse or partner but feel that your attempts to fix the relationship somehow get turned into arguments, leaving you feeling more lonely, sad and separate from your partner?
Effective Relationship Counseling For Distressed Couples
Keeping your relationship connection strong is hard work. Most all intimate relationships will experience times of increased conflict, disconnection and negative cycles. Often couples seem to forget what initially brought them together and drift apart.
You and your partner may have drifted apart and lost that intimate connection. You may be feeling hopeless but we want to assure you both that the shift is reversible. In fact in my work with couples, many of them report that their hard work made their relationship stronger than it ever was.
WE WANT YOU TO END UP WITH…
Better skills for communicating effectively
A better intimate / sex life
A partner who is safe to go to
An honest relationship
A sense of being seen, heard, loved and validated
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Our counselors use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) for marriage and relationship counseling. Studies show that EFT is the most effective way for couples to work through painful issues and find closeness again. Your partner, you, and your therapist will look at patterns in the relationship and take steps to create a more secure bond and develop more trust to move the relationship in a healthier, more positive direction.
The goal of EFT is to teach couples how to work through the negative cycles, learn ways to reestablish connection, and be purposeful in strengthening the emotional bond. EFT helps you and your partner to improve communication, build trust, strengthen your emotional bond, and to increase connection which is the secret to a happy and fulfilling relationship.
