COUPLES THERAPY
Bringing partners together.
Being in a partnership comes with a complex host of difficulties, which often feel impossible to solve on your own. Having the supportive third party of a couples therapist can be the saving grace, helping to prevent from experiencing ongoing distress and disconnection by improving communication, emotion regulation, and conflict resolution.
Couples Therapy
ROMANTIC COUPLES
In couples therapy, partners join with a clinician to help discuss their concerns, whether as prevention or treatment of relational distress. It can be helpful at any stage of a relationship and can be used distinctly or in conjunction with individual therapy. A couples therapist can assist in:
-
facilitating difficult conversations;
-
examining roles within the partnership;
-
identifying patterns of conflict and engaging in techniques to change these patterns;
-
and discussing personal life and external stressors, such as intimacy, quality time, children, family dynamics, children, health issues, finances, among other concerns.
DUOS
Parent with Adult Child, Business Partners, Adult Siblings etc.
In “therapy duos” we help duos discuss their relational concerns. This means helping to mediate compassionate conversations to reach the desired outcome for both parties. Some of the issues often presented could include:
-
managing the change in roles between loved ones (e.g. parents interacting with adult children);
-
the strain on siblings to navigate the death of a parent/ parents;
-
and differences of opinion within a business setting.
