Great Couples Counseling in Guadalupe, AZ. Therapy to heal relationships.

Sometimes couples experience a rough patch, lose their way with one another and need guidance in coming back together. Some may know they want to stay together but need tools for better communication and understanding while others may be unsure of their future together. In working with couples, I address their past and how it may be interfering with their relationship now and work on addressing needs, wants, expectations and hurts without attacking or blaming one another. My goals include helping the couple to understand each other better, improve communication so each feels heard, teach skills to manage conflicts once therapy has terminated and strengthen their friendship and attachment.

Is substance use causing a rift in your relationship? Wether you are the loved one of someone who is struggling with substances or your own substance use is causing a rift in your relationship, counseling can be helpful to you. If you seek guidance with removing substance use from your relationship, I would be happy to meet with you and help you improve your relationship and get it back to where you want it to be.

You fell in love with your partner, enjoyed the heady first days of the relationship, but staying in love is difficult. Your relationship isn't what it was or you want, you "can't seem to get it right", or even start. The "happily ever after" fairy tale has soured. You can reauthor your story - you know life is not a fairy tale, but the real tale is far more interesting. Therapy is not about being broken, sick or wrong. It's about growth, courage & moving forward. You can learn practical skills to create an authentic loving relationship which includes passion & intimacy as well as caring & communication. It is exciting & joyful to rediscover your feelings for each other.

I provide couples counseling in Gilbert, AZ. Relationships can be very difficult. We all come into relationships with previous experiences, beliefs, and triggers. This can often lead to general conflict and difficulties in communication, which can ultimately result in turmoil, hurt feelings, and disconnection. My approach to couples counseling is to help each person better understand their partner and themselves, in order to increase effective communication. My goal is to provide the necessary tools and shifts in perspective to allow for the couple to view each other and their relationship in a more productive light, and to improve communication, in order to enhance relational functioning.

Many couples come for counseling and their number one request is Communication Skills! It's always communication plus something...parenting, aging parents, finances, sex etc. It take dedication to make a new skill into a trait (something you naturally do). In addition to this, couples get to know each other through a variety of assessment instruments, learn conflict resolution skills, identify the marital "dance" and develop greater empathy, leading to softening of hearts and the ability to reconnect at a deeper level.

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?

Jacqueline is trained in an approach that aids in evaluating the individual’s relationship history, how their upbringing and life experience shape their adult and romantic relationship(s) and how individuals respond to conflict. This goes beyond the general approach of couples counseling: why communication may fail, to examine the knee jerk reaction to relationship upset. Which allows for better understanding of one’s self and their partner to strengthen connection and provide a healthier platform for disagreements.

At Resolutions, we have results oriented couples counseling. We are praised at Resolutions for not taking sides. It isn't about who is right or wrong or who did what. It is about determining what each party needs and wants from the relationship and what each party is willing to give.

Measuring this realistically and coming up with a balance that works and creates a mutually fulfilling relationship is our goal.

In my approach to couples counseling, I emphasize fostering open communication, emotional intimacy, and mutual understanding between partners. Utilizing techniques from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, I help couples navigate conflicts, rebuild trust, and strengthen their emotional connection.

Through this process, couples learn to resolve issues constructively, enhance their relationship satisfaction, and develop a more resilient and fulfilling partnership, ultimately benefiting from improved communication.
