Couples

Couples counseling attempts to improve romantic relationships and resolve interpersonal conflict. Couples counseling is effective for unmarried couples, married couples, premarital counseling, and those considering divorce who want to separate amicably. In couples sessions, the attention is on communication and how it affects the relationship. Setting and respecting boundaries, exploring expectations, correcting distorted thinking patterns, and increasing the clients’ ability to compromise, are all areas of focus. Couples can expect to learn new skills for effective communication, problem solving, building understanding, and how their perception, thinking and behavior impacts the quality of their relationship.
