Great Couples Counseling in Watauga, TX. Therapy to heal relationships.

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.

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?

Couples come to counseling because they are at an impasse--either they argue too much or they have stopped talking altogether. Maybe the intimacy is gone. Reconnecting is possible once the source of the conflict is resolved. Being flexible, respecftul, forgiving, and truly "hearing" your partner are key traits needed to resolve issues damaging your relationship.

In couples counseling, my approach is rooted in fostering open communication, understanding, and collaboration between partners. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where both individuals can express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Through evidence-based techniques, such as active listening, conflict resolution strategies, I help couples develop effective communication skills and enhance their emotional connection. By working collaboratively with the couple, I strive to empower them with tools and strategies to navigate conflicts, rebuilds trust, and cultivate a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

There is no such thing as "finding the right person." Happy couples are happy because they BECOME the right person. Through couples therapy you will learn how to value your partner, maintain appropriate and healthy boundaries, and grow as an individual while moving toward oneness. My goal is to help you communicate more effectively, become emotionally intimate, and connect with each other in honoring way. End your search for the non-existent "perfect fit" and learn how to bring happiness into your relationship.

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.
