Do you want a more peaceful relationship with your partner? I have worked with couples going through challenges, mediation processes and possible divorce. I specialize in working with couples that want to enhance their communication skills. I look at the strengths of each partner and how they function together in a relationship. My approach utilizes emotionally focused therapy, aimed at looking at interaction patterns and emotional states. We all deserve to be in a relationship that we find fulfilling and meets our needs.

Couples therapy can save your relationship if things start to feel too hard and unmanageable. Dr. Spada can support you and your partner to gain a deeper understanding of what's goin goin with yourselves and each other. She will help facilitate better communication, understanding and compassion toward each other by helping you uncover the deeper issues happening and the dynamics between the two of you.

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?

You fell in love with your partner, enjoyed the heady first days of the relationship, but staying in love is difficult. Your relationship isn't what it was or you want, you "can't seem to get it right", or even start. The "happily ever after" fairy tale has soured. You can reauthor your story - you know life is not a fairy tale, but the real tale is far more interesting. Therapy is not about being broken, sick or wrong. It's about growth, courage & moving forward. You can learn practical skills to create an authentic loving relationship which includes passion & intimacy as well as caring & communication. It is exciting & joyful to rediscover your feelings for each other.

My approach to couples counseling is to create an open and honest space for each individual to be able to express their feelings safely. The goal is to overcome any obstacles that the relationship may be facing and working with the clients to develop their own tools and techniques that they can utilize in their home to strengthen their relationship. I utilize acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotion focused therapy.
