Great Couples Counseling in St Clair Shores, MI. Therapy to heal relationships.

There is hope! Oftentimes in life we just need support - someone to listen, provide compassion, a guiding light - to help you find peace within. I believe in the power of relationships and that together we can grow towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. When we become overwhelmed or uncertain about the paths we choose to travel, it can be helpful to orient ourselves and take inventory of the resources and tools available. Despite each person's need to walk their own distinct path, it can be beneficial to obtain wisdom and guidance from supportive allies. I would like to help you increase your quality of life and realize your true potential.

Couples therapy is always more difficult than individual because I am having to listen carefully to two people. I think it is highly important for both parties to be heard, understood and validated. I usually address their differences, as well as mutual commonalities. Couples are usually in difficulty when their needs are not being met. Communication, lack of intimacy and issue of forgiveness continue to be the major issues. I have devised a program entitled "The Ingredients of An Ideal Relationship" that I use with couples. It has been highly effective in helping couples identify their issues and work towards resolution.

Using the model IMAGO Relationship Therapy which is based on the book, Getting the Love You Want, by Harville Hendrix offers several different communication techniques helping couples resolve conflicts and move toward a more compassionate marriage. We help heterosexual, gay, lesbian couples as well as couples with open marriages and those who choose monogamy.

When Couples come in to work with me, I listen to both of them equally and help them put into words what their concerns really are. Once this is defined, I have all kinds of skills that help them. Usually this comes down to communication breakdowns, so I teach them specific tools for effective communication.I even role play these skills right in my office so they can practice them through the week. If I notice one party has some concerns individually, I make individual counseling available to them. I keep them on task each week so they do not loose sight or hope in the process. This has led to over a 90% success rate when working with couples. come in for a free consultation!!!

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 dont 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?

Couples Counseling can be specific or broad in nature. Counseling may help a couple work through a specific issue or conflict, or it may help the couple to improve communication, change patterns and work through long standing issues. Our therapists work with couples at all stages - whether in a new relationship and attempting to work out conflicts that are preventing them for progressing, or in a long term relationship and wishing to increase emotional depth and intimacy.
