“What makes a happy marriage? It is a question which all men and women ask one another… The answer is to be found, I think, in the natural discovery, by two who marry, of the deepest need of the other’s personality and the satisfaction of that need”.

~ Pearl Buck

Couples Counseling

Couples may be arguing, bickering, and constantly triggering each other, or they may be disconnected, feeling alone, and barely speaking. The common thread in couples seeking counseling is that their relationship is no longer a safe, loving, and enjoyable space.

We help couples restore the strength and vitality their relationship once had, and show them how to create a conscious partnership focused on valuing one other’s experience. We deepen the emotional connection, restore intimacy, and show couples how to become responsive to their partners’ needs and wants.

WHEN SHOULD WE ENTER COUPLES COUNSELING?

How do you know when it is time to seek help? When you find yourself going through the same hurtful patterns, with the same conclusions. The longer you wait, the more anger and resentment can build. Come in. We can identify where you struggle and break those patterns before they cause irreversible damage.

Often times, couples wait too long before seeking help. Anger and resentment could be building for years, destroying connection, safety, and love, which needs to be the foundation for the relationship. As soon as couples, married and unmarried, find themselves in patterns that they can’t break, therapy can be extremely helpful.

COMMON RELATIONSHIP STRUGGLES

  • Lack of intimacy, connection, satisfaction and enjoyment with your partner
  • Constant bickering and fighting, excessive anger and loss of temper
