what makes our therapy successful?
The first session focuses on building a positive connection. Our counselor ensures effective therapy by genuinely caring and understanding your perspective.
Our therapist identifies patterns and assesses if change is needed. Ongoing sessions help pinpoint specific areas like behavior or attitude contributing to the relationship dynamics.
Together you and the therapist will set goals. Goals are broad statements representing what you aim to achieve through couples therapy.
The implementation plan is a plan that you and your partner will work on together. It is designed to prevent, intervene, or address unhealthy behaviors and practices.
As marriage counselors, our aim is to provide the tools for growth and release you. The door is always open for future couples therapy sessions as needed.
Our goal with couples therapy is to equip you with the tools you need and then set you free. We care about you, but we don't want you to be our client forever. If we can't help your marriage quickly, we believe you should find someone who can.
The effectiveness of marriage counseling varies for each couple. However, research-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method are often recommended. The key is finding a qualified therapist and an approach that resonates with your unique relationship needs.
While some marriages can thrive without counseling, many couples find counseling immensely helpful. It provides a structured and supportive environment to enhance communication, navigate challenges, and strengthen the foundation of the relationship. Seeking professional guidance can significantly contribute to a healthier and more fulfilling marriage.
A lack of effective communication is often cited as the primary factor that can destroy a marriage, leading to misunderstandings and eroding emotional connection.
Spouses may resist counseling due to concerns about blame or criticism. We help couples create a safe, supportive space to address issues constructively and strengthen their relationship.
*The duration of marriage counseling varies based on specific needs and circumstances of each couple. Short term counseling may last a few sessions, while more complex issues might require several months. The average is often around 12 sessions, but it can be shorter or longer based on the progress and goals set by the couple in collaboration with therapist.
