Frequently Asked Questions for Marriage Counseling
Any couple can benefit from couples therapy! Some more specific signs that your relationship can benefit from couples therapy include: ongoing conflict, lack of intimacy, communication breakdowns, feeling disconnected from your partner, or difficulty resolving issues on your own.
We want you to have direction in your couples therapy work. Collaborative goal setting can include: develop more communication skills; increase emotional and sexual intimacy; improve conflict management skills; understand attachment wound patterns; and feel closer to your loved one.
We apply evidence-based Emotion Focused Therapy for relationship work. First, we will assess the issues in the relationship and interactional cycle that is keeping you and your loved one(s) stuck. Through this process, we’ll identify your attachment patterns and ways that you cope when triggered. To build de-escalation skills, we’ll work on reframing problems, building connection, and identifying shared goals. In sum, your therapist will help you identify patterns of behavior that may be contributing to problems in your relationship and provide you with tools and strategies to address them.
Couples therapy can help improve a relationship that’s struggling, but it’s not a guarantee that the relationship will be saved. Whether a relationship can be saved depends on a variety of factors, for instance the willingness of both partners to work on the relationship.
It’s not uncommon for partners to have different goals for therapy. Your therapist will work with you to identify common goals and develop a treatment plan that addresses both of your needs. They’ll also help you communicate your needs and concerns to your partner in a productive way.
Absolutely! We honor all relationships. We want to provide a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space for you to work through your relationship needs. Our process is systemic and integrative, meaning that we recognize that societal and familial stressors are an important part of relational stress.
