Great Couples Counseling in Creston, OH. Therapy to heal relationships.

In my practice, I frequently see couples in all stages of life. Some couples come in preparation for marriage, some early on in their relationship when problems first begin to arise, and some come who are on the brink of divorce. In each situation, I help them to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their relationship, to find commonality in their search for health, to learn the skills necessary to build a good relationship, and to make their connection all that they want it to be. I believe that every relationship can be improved if the individuals involved are willing to learn and to work toward that end. Love can be rekindled, and trust can be restored.

It is common that a couple struggles from time to time. Some couples have bigger problems that require professional help to overcome and realize a happy and peaceful life together. We teach a couple how to experience this peaceful relationship. A positive relationship requires good communication to build “oneness” in order for a couple to exist in harmony. However, many times couples loose this oneness because they fall into negative patterns. We teach couples how to: Understand the difference between the male and female brain Communicate Solve problems & resolve conflict Forgiveness & Trust Understand the importance of commitment Work together in finances Have fun & become friends ag.

Relationships can be beautiful; they can also be stressful and conflictual. You may have a good relationship, and perhaps feel something is missing. Couples counseling includes communication skills, validation skills, DBT skills to understand each other's perspective, etc. We will explore your conflict styles and conflict cycles to understand patterns. If you are considering couples counseling, you have taken the first step to connecting on a deeper level.

I help couples navigate difficulties, life transitions, and improve communication to develop smoother, happier relationships. Difficulties and life transitions can include death of a family member, job change, infidelity, intimacy, pregnancy, adoption, or birth of a new child. Communication can include showing affection, managing conflict, acceptance and forgiveness.

Couples counseling (on an individual basis) affords you numerous ways to bring about change that you would not normally know how to accomplish on your own. It provides a safe and supportive environment for you to identify and communicate the issues, feelings and behaviors that are bothering you and to facilitate understanding and positive change. I can provide instruction, coaching and feedback to help you develop skills such as healthy communication and ways to build stronger relationships personally and professionally.

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?
