Great Couples Counseling in Blue Ridge, GA. Therapy to heal relationships.

Couples considering marriage or not; but who are experiencing red flag sensations within the relationship, poor communication skills, low social skills-would benefit for counseling at Heal and Hope Counseling Services. We use role play and and multiple educational modalities to teach the relational skills needed. To ensure that each are being helped for possible mental or emotional health issues that also may be playing into the relational issues; we do provide an assessment that helps us to know what and how to treat the individuals within the couple; which is crucial in effecting real change.

I enjoy helping couples stay married when at all possible. Relationships take self-awareness, compromise and a shared vision. To often people rush into marriage without really knowing each other and then discover along the way that they only have 80% of what they want instead of celebrating the 80% they focus on the 20% they don't have. Understanding each others differences and limitations will help you navigate a healthy marriage. Shame and guilt are very destructive. Learning how to forgive yourself and move forward by processing your past relationships can help you understand your present relationship. This can be very important in stopping the cycle of dysfunctional relationships.

Relationships can be beautiful but they take work from both parties. Trust, openness, respect, transparency and building healthy communication skills are very important. Sometimes we lose communication somewhere along the way and having a mediator to help both parties see the other persons point of view and hold each one accountable on next steps in the healing process can be very helpful to reconnect and bond your relationship again.

Couples counseling is a type of therapy that assists individuals in intimate relationships. It can be helpful if you are considering separation/divorce or looking to improve communication. Though you are there to work on the relationship it may be important to tune into each others needs and wants in order to facilitate a genuine connection and rebuild trust.

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?
