Great Couples Counseling in Webberville, 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.

It’s no secret, relationships can be a struggle. You feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to make it better. You’ve argued. You’ve ignored one another. You’ve tried to talk it out. And nothing worked. Now what? Communicating and maintaining intimacy as a couple is hard. Sometimes it seems like you are speaking different languages. We provide Couples Counseling to help our clients learn to communicate, love, and like one another again.​ Whether you are a married couple, dating, engaged, or something else, relationship counseling can help to tear down the walls between you and develop the connectedness that you desire. You want to be able to not just get along but to thrive.

I have found that couples have difficulty communicating with each other. They almost always see the problems within their relationship as "theirs" not "mine". Sometimes this is true. But most often the struggles come from both. In my work with couples, we will figure out what is preventing each partner to communicate effectively. To say what they are feeling so the partner can hear and understand. If communication is not the only issue the couple is having, we will explore what is really going on and why for real results.

Do you and your spouse have the same arguments over and over again? Are you holding onto past hurts? Do you disagree on how to raise your children? Research has shown that there are certain characteristics and skills that people in happy marriages have like nurturing fondness and admiration, turning toward each other instead of away, and allowing your partner to influence you. These are all skills that can be developed in a marriage through marital counseling. You can stop the arguing and reconnect emotionally in your 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?

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.
