Couples
Therapy
All relationships are like a dance, it takes two to Tango! Sometimes, your old dances are tired and worn out. In this type of therapy, the couple creates a new dance, one that is relevant to where they find themselves, today.
Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which the "client" is the couple. In our work, the Genogram is used to map the couple's family histories, which serves as the foundation for compassion and understanding. In addition, the Enneagram and the principles of Drs. John & Julie Gottman's couples therapy and Dr. Harville Hendricks Imago therapy are integrated throughout our work.
We all know romantic relationships are hard work. Like cars, they require regular maintenance to keep them running well. If there is a problem, it’s best to have it repaired right away to avoid further complications down the road.
Often we can do some of the basic maintenance and repairs ourselves. Other times, the help of a licensed professional may be what is needed to get the couple unstuck. This type of relationship counseling is emotionally focused on increasing understanding of self, within the context of a relationship. The ultimate goal is for the couple to envision and create the kind of relationship that reflects their wishes, desires, and hopes for the future.
