Great Couples Counseling in Medulla, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

Karen utilizes a strengths based approach when working with couples. She is also a level one trained therapist in the Gottman Method of marriage counseling. Most couples entered a relationship because they appreciated and valued something in their partner. Over time, stresses and difficulties sometimes cloud a couple's vision of what drew them together. Karen's approach is to help couples rekindle their friendship and appreciation for each other, including their differences. She provides couples an opportunity to refine important relationships skills like healthy communication, problem solving, and conflict resolution skills.

As a husband, and father of 7 children, I know firsthand not only the blessings, but also the challenges that come with family life. I enjoy working with couples, helping them improve communication, rebuild trust, and restore intimacy. I use an honest and supportive approach in session, and can provide Christian counseling for those that desire it.

Couples work is unique and interesting. What a lot of people don't understand it that of course you have different viewpoints - you are in different bodies, have different life experiences and are actually looking at different views! Many times the problem is simply communication: no matter how many times you tell your partner what you need, they just don't hear it. That is where I come in- helping people to get heard and also to hear clearly! In this way there can be a softening and a coming together, with both partners feeling loved and understood. You don't have to continue fighting, and counseling doesn't mean you failed. It is a gift you give your relationship to help nurture it.
