Couples Therapy
Couples begin the process of healing from the pain wrought by the betrayal and mistrust they experience and shame they carry as the result of the addict’s behavior. Couples learn to dialogue about feelings, work through disclosure, achieve forgiveness and learn about healthy relating and ultimately develop emotional and sexual intimacy. We counsel couples during the many stages of a relationship, including: Couples Therapy, Discernment Counseling, and Collaborative Divorce Coaching.
Many people face deep anxiety at the thought of starting couples counseling. What if it doesn’t work? What if I’m not understood? Can it really help our particular situation?
While those concerns are common, every year thousands of couples across the nation find the solutions to their issues in couples counseling. Talking to a professional will often have immediate and surprisingly positive results. True change can be difficult and requires time and effort, but your therapist will help you explore long-standing communication patterns, learn to see and respect each other’s differences, and help you gain insight to make positive changes in your lives.
