Great Couples Counseling in Snellville, GA. Therapy to heal 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.

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.

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?
