Invest in your relationship with yourself.
We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with ourselves. Let’s explore a kinder, gentler way to treat the most important person in your life. Prioritizing yourself means putting in the time, energy, and effort to improve your current and future self, and frankly, you’re worth it.
Improve your family culture.
Do you struggle to communicate with your family members about important child rearing decisions, points of view on culture, sexuality or race, or sometimes feel stuck and misunderstood? Families are complicated - and everyone in them has a vastly different perspective on experiences occurring within the family. With a directive approach, therapy can help families adjust to life changes, grief/loss, separation, individuation in the child/parent relationship, process the impacts of childhood trauma, and effectively handle conflict with members of the family. Family therapy can be a group consisting of many different combinations of loved ones, such as parents/guardians and their children, siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, kinship caregivers, etc.
Strengthen your relationship with your partner
Using the Gottman approach, a strategy developed from 40 years of research with more than 3,000 couples, you’ll learn skills to get back on track with your partner. This foundation is grounded on what actually works in relationships that are happy and stable, not idealistic notions or anecdotal evidence of what a relationship should be. You will learn how to build a friendship in your relationship and express feelings of respect and affection. You will learn how to manage conflict and communicate effectively. You’ll learn how to keep conflict discussions calm, how to break through gridlocked issues, and how to strengthen and maintain the gains in your relationship.
Whether you are being told to find a therapist, or the one pursuing help - seeking couples counseling doesn’t always mean it’s the end of the road. With a non-judgmental approach, we’’ll work together to find balance, togetherness, and deeper understanding of one another’s inner world.
