How Can Couples Therapy Help?

  • Communication

    All healthy relationships require open and honest communication. Dysfunctional communication is the culprit for many couples’ issues, and if left untreated it can signal the end of a relationship. In couples therapy we can establish an environment where open communication can occur safely, and work on developing a communication style where both partners feel understood, validated, and respected.

  • Trust

    A rewarding relationship is built upon a stable foundation, and the core of that foundation is trust. Sometimes however, that trust is broken, and infidelity, secrets, and misunderstandings can erode the foundation of your relationship. In couples therapy we work on understanding why trust has become an issue, and identify ways to develop and improve that trust without passing judgement or blame.

  • Intimacy

    Intimacy includes the physical and emotional ways you connect with and show love to your partner. Discussing ways to cultivate and nurture intimacy can be uncomfortable for some, and in couples therapy we can work on exploring the myriad of ways this issue presents itself in your relationship and explore solutions without shame or stigma.

  • Growth

    A healthy couple doesn’t just stay together. They thrive together. Their unique strengths and skills compliment one another, and through mutual empathy and support they help each other grow. In couples therapy, we aim to develop and harness the power and strength in your relationship so that you may help one another become better versions of yourselves.
