Marriage Counseling

Too often we think that our relationship ought to work without a lot of our attention or effort.

But let’s face it: over time we can fall into some bad habits with each other, and stop giving our relationship the attention it needs, and start blaming each other for what isn’t working well anymore.

The good news is that you can learn how to have a great marriage.  People who participate in couples counseling express being happier in their marriages as a result of it.

Improving Communication

You find that you and your partner struggle sometimes to communicate effectively and end up feeling frustrated when it doesn’t work. Brief couples counseling has been shown to help couples improve their communication skills and enhance their emotional bond.

Premarital Counseling

Get your marriage off to a great start by doing premarital counseling before the wedding.  Learn what you really need to know to set yourselves up for a happy and lasting marriage.  Typical treatment takes 3-4 sessions and facilitates conversations every engaged couple will benefit from having.

Marriage Tune-up

Couples who are together for the long-term often fall into conflict and communication patterns that aren’t helpful and diminish the enjoyment they have with each other. Arguments over the same things, disconnected and stressful lives, lack of sex and intimacy: these are common challenges for married couples. Counseling helps couples talk through their issues and deepen their emotional bond.

Couples in Crisis

Betrayals, affairs, addiction, entrenched conflicts, old wounds that have never healed: any of these can put a couple into crisis. Intensive couples therapy has helped couples get past their worst moments and build the relationship they both want to have.

Choosing Growth

“One can choose to go back towards safety or forward toward growth.  Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.”  – Abraham Maslow
