Great Couples Counseling in Grand Rapids, MI. Therapy to heal relationships.

First and foremost, we recognize that "couples" can mean a lot of different things and we try not to approach the treatment process with any assumptions. We want to understand you each as individuals and the things that bring you together as a couple. We want to understand the agreements you have with one another and how those agreements may not be holding up. Our approach is rooted in the understanding that you are coming to therapy out of your love for one another, and that you want to find the healthiest way forward -- whether that is together or apart.

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?

Couple's counseling, including premarital and marital counseling is my specialty. Many couples seek to learn how to communicate and resolve conflicts. Learning the skills of communication and conflict resolution are critical to building intimacy and avoiding the natural drift toward marital isolation. Understand how are why you are attached to your spouse and learning to use your strengths as a couple to overcome weaknesses can be critical aspects of keeping you close and connected.
