Great Couples Counseling in Jerseyville, IL. Therapy to heal relationships.

Couples who see me for counseling can expect several things. First, I'm going to emphasize that your relationship is the client that I'll be working with. Second, each of you contributes both positively and negatively to the quality of the relationship. Third, change in the relationship can take place if you own your contribution and determine what new behaviors you'd like to see. Lastly, I'll focus on assisting you in building a firm foundation for lasting intimacy that can continue for years after therapy has concluded.

In my psychotherapy practice, I create a safe, empathetic environment for individuals to explore and address their concerns. My approach to couples counseling emphasizes improving communication, understanding, and intimacy. I use evidence-based techniques to help couples resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationship. Through tailored interventions, I guide partners in developing healthier dynamics and deeper connections, fostering mutual growth and lasting positive change in their relationship.

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?

Because Tyler's specialty is sexual addiction and affair recovery, couple work is an important aspect of therapy. Tyler has worked with many couples on communication issues, conflict resolution, rebuilding love and trust where it has been broken, and working through other family discord that may arise in families from time to time. Tyler also does premarital counseling.

Infinite reasons manifest themselves to the advantages of couples therapy. Frequently at times, a critical situation (such as a loss or affair) may start a phase of complexity in the connection. Some couples encounter a progressive shift over time and try to shift back to a closer relationship. Couples can also implement therapy as a preventative measure, understanding useful communication techniques and relationship framework principles to prevent complications down the road. Amy works with couples to improve their connection, reduce ambivalence and promote strong habits to maintain improvement over time.

Communication, trust, and vulnerability are essential parts of a relationship. However, sometimes priorities and values get misaligned and couples find themselves growing apart instead of together. Our approach is realigning the relationship dynamics and restoring healthy and effective communication patterns to support vulnerable spaces and trust. In doing so, you may step into a healthy space with your partner. However, this change can only occur with vulnerability, respect, trust, and willingness to change.

Whether it is pre-marital counseling or you are seeking help to navigate the numerous issues that come up in your relationships, I want to help you and your partner work through the difficulty. My goal in couples counseling is to begin to open communication lines. By working alongside, I want to help educate, process and lead you and your partner to a better relationship.

Do you feel misunderstood or find yourself constantly arguing? Wondering if you are in the right relationship? You are not alone. Most relationships get caught in a cycle where it becomes impossible to have an effective conversation. I can help provide a safe space for more meaningful communication. Together we will explore the deeper reasons for your feelings and behaviors and that insight will help guide a richer understanding of yourself and your partner. This turns arguing to get your point across into talking with one another to gain understanding. From here you build trust, increase intimacy and over all strengthen the connection between the two of you.

When you enter a committed relationship, the assumption is that you’re supposed to know how to “do” relationships. But it’s not always that easy; we don’t learn relationships in school. I enjoy helping couples bring peace, stability and communication back into their relationship, thus improving their lives and the lives of those most affected by the relationship. My clients often report less discord, arguing, and tension, and many experience greater confidence, happiness, and emotional and mental strength. A more harmonious marriage or relationship reduces stress, provides greater energy, and helps children. Couple’s counseling can help you enjoy all that your relationship was meant to be.
