Great Couples Counseling in Panthersville, GA. Therapy to heal relationships.

No safer place. No better time. God created us for relationship. The more intimate the relationship, the more work it takes to keep it healthy. I can help you work through the inevitable challenges that arise utilizing therapy techniques designed to strengthen communication and listening skills, which is often the root issue. I am a certified administrator of the well-respected Prepare-Enrich couples assessment tool, which can be used for couples who are seriously dating or have been married for a long while. Once communication is strengthened, the couple can better work through the issues they may have together.

Many people secretly believe that their opinion is always "right." Then they enter into a relationship and this deep-seated belief is challenged by a partner or spouse who also secretly believes that his/her opinion is always right. This causes major problems. That's where therapy comes into play. I believe that the bedrock of couples counseling is clear and effective communication. For some odd reason, it seems as though communication is a lost art, leaving couples feeling frustrated and alone. People feel as though they're not being heard and their needs aren't being met. I help couples understand each other deeply and articulate their feelings to one another effectively.

Summer is a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist (CIRT) and a member of Georgia Regional Imago Therapists (GRITS). Imago, which is the Latin word for image, is a highly effective method of couples' counseling. Summer is passionate about helping couples restore and improve their connection to one another, especially challenging in times of transition or crisis. A healthy marriage is what we envision when we get married, but too often we don't get the help we need when we are stuck in unhealthy patterns of relating. Or, just as often, unhealthy patterns of not relating. Summer encourages couples to reconnect in therapy, providing a safe, compassionate and challenging place to do this.

I enjoy helping couples who want to restore and renew their relationships. Living and growing through life together can be challenging, and life situations can strain even the best of relationships. I love to help couples strengthen and improve their intimacy, recover from disconnection, and restore emotional bonds. Eighty percent of couples struggle in their sexual relationship at some point. Many don’t get any help and their relationships suffer and deteriorate. Working out issues in intimacy can be the inroads to a deeper, richer, and more satisfying relationship. I try to create a relaxed environment where couples feel comfortable talking about that aspect of your relationship.

The work I do with couples involves a Christian and Biblical foundation. Prayer and Scripture are important parts of the process. I incorporate various books and workbooks written by Christian authors, including The Love Dare and The 5 Love Languages, among others. Most recently, I've started using a protocol developed by Les and Leslie Parrott called, "SYMBIS".

"We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us they will react and behave in certain ways ~ the ways we react and behave when we love someone." - John Grey I've been married for 40 years and fully understand the pitfalls and detours of committed relationships. With advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I'm dedicated to helping couples find their way back to each other. I help you stop the dance of blame, distancing, and mutual hurt. We'll work on skill-building, adjusting expectations, learning new communication techniques, and healing deep wounds and betrayal.

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?

In working with couples, I encourage each partner to stop blaming, understand how they are being triggered by each other, learn how to stop arguing, and most importantly, how to hold onto their individuality while staying lovingly connected to each other. I also specialize in divorce support and recovery therapy when it has been determined by you and/or your partner that the relationship/marriage is over.

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.

Couples are as unique as the individuals in the relationship. However, most couples go through similar cycles in their lives together, and have difficulty with communication and managing conflict. Some couples tend to avoid difficult discussions, and may simply sweep controversial topics aside. Other couples interact with anger, hostility and even aggression. Both of these types are negative and prevent you and your partner from having a fun, fulfilling, committed relationship. I will provide assessment for your relationship, and then teach you both skills to use to improve your communication and conflict resolution. Most couples can improve their relationship in 6-10 sessions.

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.
