Couples Therapy & Counseling

“Love requires a willingness to sit with unresolved conflict matched with a strong resolve to soften your hearts together”

How do you know if you need couples counselling? 

• You feel disconnected, lonely, resentful and unloved?
• You don’t communicate and listen to what is important for each other?
• You are criticising each other, or constantly fighting about an issue that never seems to get resolved.
• You can’t agree how to raise the children or in-laws are a problem for one or both of you?
• You are considering a separation but would like to give your relationship another chance?

With the support of our experienced in-house therapist, and practical tools you can take home between sessions, you two can find your way – and your love – again.

Couples therapy and counseling can help you improve your relationship by teaching you how to effectively communicate, solve problems together, understand what your shared values and interests are and how to accept and make room for differences. Using various psycho-spiritual techniques you can decrease conflict, resentment, and loneliness, while also cultivating intimacy, pleasure, excitement, and stability in your relationship. Improving your relationship satisfaction is something that takes work, but can often be done.

How does it work?

Following an initial intake, an intensive session involves discussion between partners around issues in which they find difficulty agreeing or compromising. Relationship patterns, connection, communication styles and approachs are evaluated and new strategies are often introduced to facilitate improved connection and communication.

What is involved at intake if I schedule an Intensive Session (90minutes or more)?  

The couple will schedule an intake of 90 minutes for the first session. An initial meeting with both partners occurs, followed by individual evaluations. Following evaluations and individual meeting, both partners return for feedback and goal setting. Typically 1-2 individual meetings occur with each partner prior to begining intensive sessions.

These sessions are longer than the normal therapy hour. Session can range from anywhere between 90 minutes to 180 minutes.

We also work with each individual during the couple therapy intensive sessions for a better problem assessment and resolution.
