Great Couples Counseling in Doylestown, PA. Therapy to heal relationships.

Couples intimacy and communication concerns can be addressed through a variety of modalities. One such modality is Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) which focuses on helping couples increase their effective communication. It also looks as dynamics of the couple, such as who often pursues or initiates engagement and who withdraws or shuts down engagement. It works to help slow down the process of communication and to make sure all parties are being heard effectively.

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 believe it is important for all couples to do marital check-ins with a therapist. If you are doing check-ins with your partner, you can gain insight into what they may be feeling internally. If you are struggling with trust and communication in your relationship, then therapy may help you with your struggle. It is important to seek a therapist that will help you as "one union" so you are not feeling like you are in the struggle alone. As a therapist working with couples it is important to acknowledge the myriad of emotions one may feel when they are not seeing eye to eye. Support is vital and a trusted therapist can help you navigate through these emotions.

Couples counseling is my specialty, and what I most enjoy doing. I am Pro-Marriage, and work hard to help couples who want to stay together learn how to do so. I have completed Level 3 of training in Gottman Couples Therapy which utilizes a well-researched system of technique that can help couples move on from affairs, lack of intimacy and stale parallel marriages. The sessions are very interactive with the focus on processing present struggles, and re-examining past stumbling blocks to explore alternative ways to behave with each other. Couples are always seen together so that there is no story-telling and the focus is on the couple in a fair and balanced way.

Coupleship is a unique dynamic. Often we fall head over heels for someone.. everything seems meant to be and then after awhile you look over at this person and think...huh? This is way more common than people think. Making a partnership work is not easy as we were promised in fairy tales, but it can be the most amazing and deepest intimacy we have ever known if we are honest, healthy and truly committed. I help couples find this true intimacy again through couples counseling. My approach is practical, respectful, and solution oriented. If you have found this, you still have hope for the relationship. This is so important, let me help you take the next step to love deeply.

I always prefer to see couples BEFORE they get married, because so many problems can be avoided by getting started out on the right foot. By learning good communication and problem solving skills before marriage, you can move on to that next step with confidence and skill. I also work with couples for whom marriage is not the goal, who are gay or lesbian, or couples who simply have reached an impasse on an issue and are looking for an objective third party.

Most if not every couple can find themselves in a place where they feel stuck and not sure how to move forward. Couples counseling can be a great option if you find yourself in this place. My approach involves understanding each individual's dilemma of the couple, identifying the areas that are making the couple feeling stuck, and helping them find a way forward.

How to Get the Love You Want Take a minute to think about what you expect from a loving relationship with a partner. Does your list contain any of the following common expectations? o Healing past wounds o Meeting all of your current emotional needs o Fulfilling fantasies and idealizations of how life should be o Making up for other less rewarding aspects of life / making your life "whole" Any one of these expectations alone can be a very tall order! Not surprisingly, relationships often buckle under these kinds of pressures. So, what to do? Learn to take care of and give to the relationship; in other words, give instead of trying to get the love you want. Take care of the rel....

We are meant to form connections that are safe and close and loving, but most couples at some time or another find themselves stuck in a repetitive pattern of interacting which leaves each person feeling hurt and alone. Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, the most well-researched approach to couple therapy, is a powerful tool that will help get to the heart of the problem and to find your way back to that experience of loving connection. Interrupting that downward spiral feels like hard work for most couples, but beginning to move to a new, warm, close place, is immensely rewarding, even for those who have previously been distressed or shut down. I have great hope for couples!

Not all couples are married, but many couples still have the same problems as married people do such as communication, intimacy, recovering from affairs and how to move forward . I use the research-based tools from the Gottman Couples Therapy Method to help couples who are struggling with issues relating to their relationship and how to progress to the next level.

As a couples counselor I am on the side of the relationship. While I may spend some time focusing on one partner or the other in order to understand relational dynamics, my primary goal is to help the relationship. Each relationship is unique. Some issues that affect couples include trust building, healthy boundaries, open communication, individual and relational growth, transitional life stages, financial issues, decision making. We will identify the strengths and weakness of your specific relationship, explore what makes a successful relationship and suggest ways to improve your relationship.
