Couples Therapy
Couples or marriage counseling is offered to support people in relationship who may be considering separation or seeking improved intimacy and understanding. In couples counseling, the relationship is the focus, although each partner should also expect to focus on self-improvement and self-awareness.
Marital Therapy
Marital therapy is a treatment designed to help improve a marriage by increasing communication and understanding between married partners. This type of therapy is performed in a variety of settings, from group sessions with several couples, to individual meetings with each partner to discuss issues they may be afraid to raise in front of their spouse.
Family Therapy
Family therapy brings parents, siblings and extended family members such as aunts, uncles and grandparents into the treatment process. The family system has its own structure and patterns of communication, which may be defined by parenting style, personalities and other influences.
Individual Therapy
Psychotherapy can treat specific, diagnosable mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, in addition to everyday concerns, such as relationship problems, stress management, career ambitions, or other issues that may affect a person’s mental well-being.
Whether married or not, straight or gay, young or less-young, all couples have differences that can lead to tension, hurt, anger, loneliness, disappointment, or emotional distance. Don’t wait until your problems become insurmountable and your relationship falls apart – get help soon and see if you can regain whatever magical attraction and interest drew you together in the first place. We’ll work together to identify your difficulties more clearly, communicate more effectively, and either heal your relationship or make peace with a decision to part ways and move on to better ones for each of you.
I also offer a unique, flexible, optional scheduling approach to couples counseling:our appointment runs longer than a traditional 50-minute session we end either at a pre-set time, or whenever we agree is a good point to stop for that session.
What if one of you wants counseling but the other doesn’t? Then come by yourself … you may be surprised at how much one person can change — and improve — the relationship.
Weather one partner begins to explore the need for change in the relationship or the two of you come together …you will be surprised with the impact supportive therapy will have on helping you to improve and enhance the quality of your being.
