The Best Marriage Counseling in 18106: Allentown, PA. Restore Your Relationship.

Eleanor has earned accreditation in the Bader-Pearson Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, has completed an ICEEFT-endorsed EFT Externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, and completed Levels 1, 2, 3 of Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

Our approach to marriage counseling is honest, respectful, and non-judgmental. We have worked with couples with a variety of issues, including trust, communication, intimacy, child and family stressors, financial issues, and learning to compromise.

I have worked hard to stay happily married for 26 years. I am also formally trained as a Marriage & Family Therapist. Together, these experiences enable me to bring understanding, compassion, humor and insightful solutions to your relationship issues. I've been there.

Couples enter therapy for help with conflict, affairs, intimacy and communication problems. My approach to couples counseling uses the researched-based Gottman Method Couples Therapy techniques which help couples learn how to handle conflict and increase intimacy.

The Gottman therapy method will give you specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy, to manage conflicts and “resolvable problems” and dialogue about “gridlocked” ones. I provide a safe and caring place to work on these problems toward a successful relationship.

Crisis can be an opportunity for much-needed growth in a relationship. Identifying core negative interactions that have taken hold of a once loving and connected relationship, is the first step toward moving from blame to empathy, mutual accountability to change.

We here to help you navigate the challenges you face in your marriage. We are also here to help you sort through uncertainty about staying in the marriage, as well as co-parenting problems you may face.

My practice specializes in work with individuals, couples and families providing treatment and services for issues of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship difficulties and addiction recovery management.

With over 30 years experience, I offer couples therapy individualized to meet your needs. You can improve communication and transform destructive relationship patterns to create a more satisfying, loving relationship for both of you. I specialize in infidelity issues.

Here's what I like about meeting with families: 1) Having parents involved significantly shortens the length of therapy. 2) I can facilitate conversations that would never take place at home. 3) Family members learn to hold one another accountable for their behaviors

A good marriage requires hard work and sacrifice. If your relationship is stuck in a difficult place or you're losing hope that it can ever be good, I will walk you through the hard work of breaking down the obstacles that keep you from the closeness you long for.

Marriage can be joyous but also all marriages can hit rocky roads. I have experience working with an array of marital issues in the counseling room and, if it feels like a fit, I would consider it an honor to be part of your marriage's healing and growth process.
