With marriage counseling - the marital relationship is the patient.....
Do you believe your relationship is in need of marriage counseling? Are you struggling in your current relationship? Are you and your partner having trouble communicating? Effective communication is a key factor in a happy and healthy relationship.
I help couples learn how to fight or disagree. Often times it is not the frequency of communication, but how we communicate. Couples need to learn to speak what they are thinking and not with negative emotions. Learning how to open up while not giving in to your emotions and building on your strengths, are other ways I can help couples taking the valuable time to maintain a healthy relationship.
In couples or marriage counseling, the couple or marital relationship is the patient and the focus of treatment.
In counseling a motivated couple can begin to explore their problems from a new perspective. They can learn new ways to recognize and resolve conflicts as a result of the tools provided by the therapist. Couples can decide to rebuild their marriage and make a renewed commitment.
You can use marriage counseling to address many specific issues, including:
• Communication problems
• Sexual difficulties
• Conflicts about child rearing or blended families
• Substance abuse
• Financial problems
• Anger
• Infidelity
• Divorce
Maintaining a marriage and solving problems within the marriage takes skills; relationship skills that few of us are naturally equipped with. We may think we are doing all we can to solve the problems in a marriage but, marriage counseling can be of great benefit in teaching new ways of solving problems and getting your needs met.
When I work with couples, we typically uncover sources of anger and disappointment, as well as, issues surrounding families of origin, lifestyle, money attitudes and more in order to find peace and a place of agreement. Find your way back to love - click here to schedule a consultation.
