Couples Counseling
Being in an intimate relationship can be the most enchanting of experiences, yet it can also be a source of problems that cause deep hurts, frustrations and pain.
At times of stress, couples get stuck in dysfunctional patterns of mutual blaming, attacking and/or withdrawing, and they don't know how to get out of them.
Each partner feels the other is responsible for the problems. Each waits for the other to make the first move, as each sees his or her behavior as a reaction to
the other's. Needless to say, nothing happens. And, while partners may still love each other, this situation is certainly not conducive to accessing and expressing
loving and tender emotions.
Couple counseling provides a safe environment where issues and problems can be identified, addressed and explored. Conjoint sessions provide an ongoing source of
guidance, self and mutual understanding, education and mediation. And when couples can go beyond what is visible on the surface and understand what is triggering their
feelings and behaviors, they can share deep emotions that were previously inaccessible. This process brings about deep and permanent change, breaking the dysfunctional
cycle in which couples were previously trapped, and facilitates the development of a new kind of closeness and intimacy.
Treatment plans are tailored to each individual couple, and are based on their unique needs and concerns. Treatment plans include a throughout individual and couple
assessment and weekly sessions to help partners regain secure attachment to one another.
