Great Couples Counseling in Stuarts Draft, VA. Therapy to heal relationships.

Often the relationships we cherish the most are also the places where we experience the most discomfort. We can feel all sorts of variations of misunderstood, unheard and uncared for (and often our partner feels similarly). The good news is that growth and healing are possible. Our brains are built for relational healing--we just need help getting unstuck sometimes. I would be honored to walk with you and your partner in helping you both to better understand yourselves, and each other, in the places where you are experiencing difficulty. And in so doing help you both to experience each other in richer, more meaningful ways.

There are two most basic fears of intimacy that we all have: one is fear of abandonment, the other is fear of being taken over, of losing my autonomy. In a relationship, people often become polarized with one clinging and the other seeming distant. With awareness of our fears and how to take care of ourselves and each other, we will bring out the best in each other. Everyone knows how to speak and listen, right? Not so. The most difficult skills to learn are to speak self-responsibly about your own experience and to truly listen and understand the other person's experience even when you don't like it. To learn these skills enables love. I can help.

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?

My Approach is Different: I spend more time preparing for a session than the average marriage counselor, often an hour, and do so free of charge! I also spend more time between sessions, not just 10 minutes, so I am fully prepared to work on your case. Moreover, my "hour" is an actual 60 minutes, not a "therapy hour," defined to mean something less. My approach is diametrically opposed to that of one therapist who said "that 45- or 50-minute sessions allow therapists to offer a fresh perspective and remain objective without getting too immersed in a client’s life." "Too immersed?" I don't get that. Couples appreciate my full dedication to their success and happiness as a couple.

One of the great separators between successful, thriving couples and couples whose relationships seem to just progress from one problem to another is this: their attitude toward those problems. Couples who are finding success in their relationships are often those that approach their inevitable issues with a solution-focused attitude or mindset. Focus on finding solutions, not problems. When times get tough, don’t give up on your relationship. We believe that there is nothing more precious than the relationships you cultivate in your life. You may be able to work things out on your own, but it is really worth the risk? Don’t take the chance; let Thriveworks Charlottesville help today.

When couples begin to seek the true source for oneness and unconditional love, they have begun a journey towards ultimate love and respect. We have led couples just like you to learn how to share a life of respect, trust, and commitment while learning how to fulfill each others needs in all circumstances. The couple will learn to set healthy boundaries while, at the same time, disagreement is actually embraced and received in love. Passion and sexual intimacy will become natural and without the common fear of rejection, anxiety, or frustration. Let's make 2020 the year that re-defines your marriage!
