Great Couples Counseling in Chesterfield, IN. Therapy to heal relationships.

Relationships are exceedingly painful yet brilliant teachers and healers. Have you ever wondered why you picked who you did to have a relationship? Did they change from the person you thought they were? Do you ever wonder why we bother with relationships? I can show you the reasons why you chose each other, why you hurt each other, the way to help you move from where you are, and even the point of it all. Whether you are looking for pre-marital, same-sex, post-divorce or other couples counseling, I can give you insight into your relationship and help you work together.

Are you feeling lonely in your own marriage? Disrespected? Misunderstood? It doesn’t have to stay this way. Far too often, high-achieving men feel disrespected and lonely within their own marriages. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help men and their wives to rediscover the incredible value they bring to the marriage, and help them negotiate a hopeful path forward. I will help you identify destructive patterns in your marriage and provide healthier alternatives. I’ll help you improve communication, learn to fight fair, and increase understanding and connection. While it’s not easy work, there is hope. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you fight for your marriage.

Couples Counseling or Marital Therapy may include diagnosis, assessment and treatment, using a variety of therapeutic techniques and processes. A Marriage Therapist should also be effective in helping treat individual emotional and behavioral problems as well as relationship issues. A Marital Therapist will focus on understanding her clients’ symptoms and the patterns of interaction with family and friends that may contribute to the problem. The Therapist will often ask questions about roles, dynamics, rules, goals, beliefs, and stages of development. About 65% of clients complete therapy in 15-20 sessions. Don't hesitate to seek help or call!

I use the Gottman Approach to Couples counseling with both married and unmarried couples. John Gottman is one of the leading experts on relationships with 30 years of scientifically backed research on what makes a relationship successful and happy. This approach relies on seven principles that will not only help couples improve communication, but will help couples feel better about each other again and remember why they fell in love in the first place. This will help couples to regain what is best about their relationship and each other and help them work through conflicts together as a team.

I use research proven methods that are very practical and easy to use both in my office and at home, so you will start to feel the positive effects of therapy right away.
