When couples choose Melanie as their therapist, they get an advocate for the relationship--not to pick sides. Any coupling is the meeting of two cultures: two completely different people with completely different experiences, values, strengths, and ways to see the world. Melanie will be happy to point out areas that are strengths in your relationship, and help each person craft responses that yield communication instead of conflict. Same-sex and opposite-sex couples welcome.

I have completed Level 1 training in the Gottman Method. I use this approach when working with couples. I begin with the Gottman Assessment, which consists of more than 300 questions. This assessment provides information such as relationship satisfaction, communication styles, viewpoints on whether you feel known by your partner, trust, infidelity issues, commitment levels, and much more. The assessment provides a roadmap of the journey towards improving communication and the friendship with your spouse.

We specialize in couples counseling. Our approach is one which acknowledges the emotional aspect of both individuals. We listen intently and provide a critical analysis so that all involved have a clear understanding of the issue and where there is possible miscommunication. We have found that there are typically areas in which both individuals can improve, and we focus on where those areas of improvement are needed. We also understand the delicate nature of couples counseling in that each is typically passionate in their own beliefs. We are very skilled communicators in getting buy in to where personal growth is needed.

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 dont 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?

In couples therapy the goal is to teach spouses to learn how to intervene with each other, to make their next conversation better, providing tools to work with to learn how to change communciation patterns, self soothe and even soothe on another. My work involves helping couples find a way to honor both of their life dreams, resolve conflicts and have a stable and satisifying marriage. Therapy involves an assessment of the marriage, the marital friendship- rebuilding positive aspects of your life together, dealing with conflict and improving interactions, reducing stress, rekindling the art of conversation, creating fun together and finding balance.

Couples work is all about connecting to one another to build felt safety and attunement. We utilize the best of the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in order to cut to the root of the problem, which is always about trust and communication. It is a highly effective process that yields consistent results. If your relationship is stuck in negative cycles, both of you feel unsafe and are never able to fully open up to one another. We work together to identify core emotions and reconnect in a safe way to get your relationship back to health.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

Couples desire a relationship with their partner to be loving, caring, honest, and trustworthy. At times, poor communication and a lack of skills can hinder the development of a loving relationship. At Christ Centered Counseling we assist couples with learning the value of their relationship from a biblical perspective. Couples can expect to utilize Scripture, prayer, and communication skills to enhance their relationship and to work through challenges that hinder them from growing together in Christlike unity.
