If you've lost your connection with your spouse or partner, it can be hard to feel safe in the world and enjoy your relationship. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you find security, safety, and comfort with your partner. When you focus on your needs and see your partner do the same, the way you interact changes for the better. I help you get underneath the arguing, stonewalling, and self-protection from vulnerability with your partner, so you can really see each other and help each other heal through the problems you face. The problems could be traumas, losses from your own lives, or attachment injuries inflicted on each other. I'd love to help you feel close and safe again!

Marriage is meant to be beautiful - and life giving. But at times the challenges of life, or our own pride, or foolish choices, can stop the life giving flow that marriage can be, and instead bring pain, bitterness, and hurt. Anyone can have a great marriage. But not everyone is willing to make the changes inside of their lives, or outside of their lives, that are needed to make a great marriage. Love is proven by sacrifice. God proved His love on a cross. Our love for our spouse must be proven as well. If couples are willing to submit to the process of change, and forgiveness, and growth, then any marriage can heal and even thrive.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Without conflict, couples do not achieve intimacy. The challenge is helping you and your partner learn how to have healthy conflict that leads to intimacy, rather than destructive conflict that destroys the relationship. I specialize in working with affairs and broken trust, abgtneuro-diverse couples. I usually start with helping you learn ground rules for being able to have safe, constructive, healthy conflict to reduce and eliminate destructive relational patterns. I also use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you reconnect, learn healthy communication skills, rekindle the flame that you once had, and start talking to each other again. If you are willing to work, I am here for you

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.

Ken Newberger, Ph.D., Th.M.

Conflict Resolution Specialist

Available for Online Therapy

My Approach is Different: I spend more time preparing for a session than the average marriage counselor, often an hour, and do so free of charge! I also spend more time between sessions, not just 10 minutes, so I am fully prepared to work on your case. Moreover, my "hour" is an actual 60 minutes, not a "therapy hour," defined to mean something less. My approach is diametrically opposed to that of one therapist who said "that 45- or 50-minute sessions allow therapists to offer a fresh perspective and remain objective without getting too immersed in a client’s life." "Too immersed?" I don't get that. Couples appreciate my full dedication to their success and happiness as a couple.

Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist

Available for Online Therapy

Couples struggling with repeated conflict, emotional injuries, and feelings of loneliness will find solace and rejuvenation in the therapy process. My approach to couples counseling is centered on healing attachment wounds and fostering a deeper connection between partners. By creating a compassionate and non-judgmental space, I guide couples in uncovering the underlying emotions that have led to the disconnection. Together, we will work to develop effective communication skills, rebuild trust, and cultivate empathy. You will experience relief from past hurts and discover new pathways to improved relational functioning, leading to a more satisfying and harmonious partnership.
