Great Couples Counseling in Canal Winchester, OH. Therapy to heal relationships.

I will first address briefly the history of the conflict that brought the couple into counseling and any previous treatment that they have had. Then, I will begin with teaching the couple a different way of communicating to resolve conflicts that will reduce emotionally charged reactions between the couple. My goal is to obtain a successful resolution of conflicts that respects each person's wishes and desires. Sometimes we find that conflicts are triggered by past events of the individual(s) prior to the couple' s history that results in unresolved emotions from the past hijacking our brain in the present. If this is the case I will work with resolving those emotional triggers

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?

I have specialized in couples for over 8 years. I have been trained in multiple forms of couples counseling including the Gottman method. I will help you and your significant other learn how to improve your communication, argue more effectively with less fallout, and learn how to prioritize your relationship. I will not ask you to do Olympic style communication or act like a therapist in your own home. I will simply teach you how to prioritize your relationship to bring back some of the trust and feelings that may have dissipated some over your time together.

I have training in the Gottman method and use this and other evidenced based approaches that are tailored to your specific relationship needs and presenting concerns. We will assess the relationship needs, establish goals and work toward learning skills to help you manage conflict, communicate effectively, deepen trust, and repair hurts and ruptures to help you grow together in your relationship. As a certified Gottman Leader, I provide trainings, conferences and seminars to help provide groups of couples skills to better manage relationships.

I work with couples to help them fundamentally change the direction of their relationship. We work to heal the wounds they are carrying and to begin prioritizing their relationship to build or rebuild their friendship and develop or improve trust. When this happens conflicts and misunderstandings aren't nearly as threatening to that underlying friendship and both people are able to simply be themselves without fancy communication techniques, weird ways of interacting, or feeling like they have to walk on egg shells. They are able to simply enjoy being together.

Couples counseling, also referred to as marriage or couples therapy, is a form of therapy designed to assist couples in addressing and resolving conflicts, enhancing communication, and strengthening their relationship. Counseling for couples is beneficial for all stages of a relationship, including dating, engagement, marriage, and long-term partnerships. Individual sessions may be included depending on the therapist's approach and the requirements of the couple. Couples counseling can be helpful if you and your partner are having trouble in your relationship or if you want to improve your connection and conversation. It can help you work through your problems and build a better relationship
