Great Couples Counselling in Cardston, AB. Therapy to heal relationships.

As an inclusive couple therapist, I strive to help couples find the roadmap to repair and heal problems that may typically arise in a relationship or marriage. I am a trained Gottman couples therapist that focuses on re-building trust, infidelity, communication, and mutual understanding. Together as a team we can work on what the relationship needs in order to flourish.

Loving, successful relationships need to be carefully and skillfully nurtured in the following five areas: Emotional, Intellectual, Spiritual, Sexual, Financial. Couples who are ready to do ongoing work on their relationships are richly rewarded with a loving, meaningful and joyful life together. Committed relationships that have the possibility of morphing into long term relationships benefit greatly by being guided by the Gottman research on relationships as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Premarital Counselling prepares a couple for a new stage in their relationship by identifying potential areas of conflict and strength and developing tools to create a strong foundation.

I provide pre-marital counselling, couples counselling, and separation/divorce counselling. My focus is to help you learn 'conflict management' whether staying together or divorcing. I often see couples separately, or frequently just one of the couples will come to see me in order learn coping strategies that they can use within their relationship. It only takes one of the couples making a small change that can make a big difference in their relationship. Or, at times one of the couples, who may be contemplating a divorce may want to talk. Often talking helps to clarify one's situation.

Couples often get stuck in their relationships - they disconnect. The good news is that reconnection is possible. Sometimes, it means processing through regrettable incidents or learning to take responsibility for the pieces of communication that you can improve. Tamara uses the Gottman Method in her work with you as well as her years of experience/knowledge in the area of mental health.

Couples counselling is an opportunity to help people see their relationship from a different perspective. I often say that perspective change equals emotional change. I want to help couples remember the strengths they bring to the relationship. I also provide education on understanding communication and conflict resolution. I encourage believe that a healthy relationship is when both partners are deliberately and frequently looking for ways to contribute to the well-being of their partner.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?
