Great Couples Counseling in Old Forge, PA. Therapy to heal relationships.

Couples counseling seeks to improve relationships, whether the problem is as mild as daily bickering or a serious as infidelity. Without blaming or taking sides, our therapists foster increased communication between couples, getting to the root of serious issues, and focusing on the positive aspects of the relationship, and the characteristics of your partner that were initially attractive.

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?

Too often we tend to our relationships after life's obligations have been met. However, that extra time is as mythical as a unicorn. Thus, our relationships get treated like a cactus, instead of the orchids that they are. And, like any orchid treated like a cactus, they wilt and their survival becomes threatened. But, if we treat an orchid like a cactus we don't blame the flower, unlike how we tend to blame our relationships. My approach to couple's counseling is mechanical. First, I help a couple to diagnose the problem(s). Then we do exercises to enhance intimacy, followed by exercises for solving problems and improving communication. I help couples to flourish as they used to.

Couples therapy is available to partners in a variety of circumstances; any two people living together, employee and employer or any two people that have issues they do not agree on. Couples often come for help after they have reached a highly emotional state of mind. In order to resolve conflicts and understand troublesome difference of opinion therapy can be the proper way to move forward, eventually finding some peace of mind.
