Couples Specialties:

Infidelity: We are all trained in how best to guide a couple through the process of rebuilding trust and healing after an affair has been disclosed or discovered. There is a science based process to this journey. This is lengthier work, but can be very rewarding. In a very felt sense, we are balancing managing the trauma of the betrayal, while also rebuilding a new relationship.

Substance abuse: When substances impact a relationship, we balance between supporting individual accountability and creating a healing environment for recovery.

Trauma: Two of our clinicians are trained in EMDR. This is an effective treatment that can help you heal after trauma or distressing life experiences.

Intimacy Issues

Communication

Conflict: Every couple experiences conflict. It’s normal and many of our conflicts are perpetual conflicts with no solution. Our goal in counseling is to help you grow from your conflict, decrease it’s intensity, and decrease it’s impact on your functioning. This will then protect your relationship from your conflicts when they arise.

Divorce: There is no need to go through this process alone! We offer counseling for couples navigating co-parenting as well as individual counseling to provide you the best self care to support you in this journey.

Pre-marital: If you are preparing to marry, our couples assessment process is the perfect tool to get insight on how to build your new relationship in an intentional, healthy and connected way. Prevention is much easier than intervention!

Sexual Concerns

Faith Based Counseling: We will always counsel you in a way that supports your faith and in a way where your faith supports you. If utilizing your faith or religion is central to your growth process, let us know which faith background is important to you in your appointment request and we will match you with a counselor that will best fit this need. The Gottman Method has specific resources available from a Biblical or Islamic perspective.

We would be honored to help guide you to achieve and build the belonging and connection you desire.  Get started today by checking out which services fit your needs.  Mental health starts with our connections.  There is no need to feel the stigma of attending therapy; building a legacy of a healthy family is empowering.

If you are interested in couples counseling we begin with a 4 session comprehensive, personalized assessment which includes:

• 55 minute conjoint couples session to go over desired goals, gather relationship history, assess current relationship functioning

• Online assessment through the Gottman Connect

• Separate 1:1 sessions with each partner to address individualized histories, concerns

• Follow up conjoint session to present all information gathered from online assessment and 1:1 sessions. This includes a recommendation for the structure of treatment moving forward* and will include any necessary referrals.

We can schedule these sessions all in one day, or over the course of a few weeks depending on your schedule and needs. Once this assessment is completed, we have a road map to complete your desired goals.

*couples counseling is not always recommended after the initial assessment. Circumstances where there is abuse or mental health concerns sometimes require individual counseling (prior to the couples therapy) to lay the foundation for couples counseling to succeed. Recommendations, referrals and opportunities for collaborative treatment are provided.
