General Couples Therapy 

Finding Hope

Image by Wright Brand Bacon

No one is born knowing how to be a partner in a relationship. 

When we weren't shown how to love, we wing it based on movies, books, friends and social media. And then things go wrong and we're horribly disappointed.

So now what???

Here's how change happens in therapy

  • The first step with couples is to gently get the problems out in the open without feeling attacked. We usually pinpoint the obvious problems in the first session and other ones surface during our work together.
     

  • The second step is to identify the main themes behind the surface problems so we can understand the deeper issues that keep the conflict from being resolved. As we go deeper together, while resisting the urge to be defensive or attack, trust and safety will start building.
     

  • Now that the themes and deeper issues are safely exposed, the third step is to help you learn to apply the appropriate tools for intimacy, communication, managing anger, and expressing compassion in order to heal the deep wounds that have been inflicted. This last step will allow you to see your partner in a completely different way so you can start loving your partner in a way that works for both of you.
