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

Helping couples improve their relationship is my main area of expertise. I can help you resolve old issues, work through current challenges, and learn how to communicate in ways that your spouse will hear and understand. You may be in a tough spot right now, but I would recommend that you give counseling a try before giving up all hope. It won't be easy, but your relationship is worth it.

Relationship stress affects every area of our lives. When our relationships aren't working well, we aren't as productive at work, we avoid being home, we can get into unhealthy coping. As couples, we can trigger each other. But if this is addressed properly, it can be used for greater personal growth and strength in the relationship. Make your coupleship what it is intended to be.

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 dont 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?

I have a passion for working with couples. Having been trained and mentored in the area of couples counseling by a world-renowned expert, I work daily to improve relationships through psychotherapy and education. As a therapist, I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches grounded in the latest research while also incorporating tried and true assessments to target the areas needing the most attention in the therapeutic process.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

I use many different therapeutic approaches in my work with couples, including my training in the work of Drs. John and Julie Gottman, and the work of Dr. Sue Johnson (Emotionally Focused Couples Counseling). I help couples improve communication, reduce conflict and argument, increase commitment and passion, heal from infidelity and other breaches of trust, and reach better understanding on financial, sexual, child-raising and discipline, and blended family issues.

When we choose to be in a committed relationship, I believe that keeping this relationship "alive" is a key to our lifelong happiness. My couple's therapy is intended to help you find solutions to your relationship challenges. We will work together to develop a dialogue that creates an emotional connection in your relationship that you can carry throughout your lifetime. My primary approaches are Emotionally Focused Couple"s Therapy and techniques created by the Gottman Institute. I have had extensive training from both. Couple's therapy is not a quick fix or always "fun". We sometimes have to clear out a lot of muck to get to the sparkling clear water. If your in it for life, email me.

Do you have the same argument over and over again? Are you feeling alone, misunderstood, or disrespected in your marriage? I can help you work through these issues through couples counseling, and help you break the unhealthy patterns that aren’t working. Renewing trust, improving communication, and regaining the spark are all possible. Being married myself, I know that marriage is work, and that love is a choice. But even intelligent, loving couples sometimes need support. You deserve better than what’s happening now. If you’re willing to put in the work, I can help. Our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion you were created to be.

Falling in love is one of the best feelings in life. Often though, we start to feelin like we are falling out of love with our partner/spouse and sometimes start to feel like roomates. Many times this is closely related to our other identities (mother, father, employee, business owner, friend, etc.) along with the roles and responsibilities in our everyday lives. When you choose to see out counseling, you are taking a step towards a healthy relationship as a couple.

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.

Jennifer enjoys working with couples to assist them to regain the spark that they had when the relationship was new. She does not take sides on issues but may point out how individual behavior is affecting the relationship. Jennifer encourages open honest communication with each other as well as her in order to strengthen the relationship. She may suggest individual sessions along with the couple's sessions.

Often times couples will enter counseling due to issues within their relationship which stems as a result of poor communication skills. Counseling can help couples learn effective ways of communicating with each other and teach boundaries within their relationship. Assessments will be given to learn each couples love language and to determine how they like to be shown affection. Couples will benefit from the use of counseling and will see a difference in their relationship by using the different skills learned in session together.

I absolutely love couples counseling, and it is my favorite type of counseling. Most therapist despise couples counseling for many different reasons, but I find it fun and exciting. I will provide an unbiased environment to help you and your significant other resolve your conflict. I also offer pre-marital counseling for couples who want to build the tools needed strengthen their future marriage.

Working with couples is the reason I first decided to become a therapist. A majority of my caseload consists of couples. In my approach, I help couples establish or re-establish a connection with each other, and change the environment of their relationship. I don't find it helpful to focus on specific issues that drive fights. Rather, I will help you understand the process working beneath the surface. This process has kept you locked in one dance. The good news is that either one of you can choose to change that dance!
