Marriage Counseling/Therapy
What is Marriage or Couples Counseling?
Couples counseling is an opportunity to collaborate with your partner on different issues that may be impacting your relationship. Couples work towards a peaceful and intimate relationship. Couples counseling can also be for clients who are divorced couples or going through divorce and separation. Counseling is used for increased communication and resolution of conflict in any situation.
Treatment Approach for Marriage Counseling
Each marriage and couple experiences different issues. Your therapist will help you identify your goals and problems you would like to work through. Some issues you may focus on would be communication skills, conflict resolution, intimacy, parenting, extended families and past pain. Your therapist will serve as an outside perspective during these discussions, helping you create productive conversations.
Benefits of Marriage Counseling
- Positive communication skills
- Conflict resolution
- Outside perspective
- Intimacy
Here are some things our therapists have to say on couples counseling sessions.
Written by Kyle Dickerson, LMFT
I enjoy working with couples in marriage counseling. My approach to couples therapy is to foster increased communication and understanding. I am trained in the Gottman Couples Therapy model, which focuses on disrupting ongoing patterns of conflict and hurt in order to build greater understanding and intimacy in the relationship. I think your marriage is one of the greatest investments of time, emotional, and financial capital — so, why not hedge your risks?
