Couples Counseling
Maintaining a healthy and long lasting relationship requires work and effort in the form of compromise for both parties involved. The goal of couples counseling is to help couples understand and resolve their conflicts and improve their relationships. Couples therapy may be sought during any phase of the relationship from pre-marital to dissolution. During sessions, the couple is provided with tools to communicate and problem solve more effectively. Efforts are made to restore trust, rebuild respect and appreciation, and recover intimacy for one another while helping each partner get their needs met. In the case of divorce counseling, couples are directed towards a peaceful and respectful separation. When children are involved, their needs are considered and foremost.
Unfortunately, most relationships aren’t perfect. Each person brings his or her own ideas, values, opinions and personal history into a relationship, and they don’t always match their partners’. Despite these differences, relationships can be one of the most rewarding aspects of a person’s life. In fact, connection to others, and the ultimate connection of a loving relationship, is commonly considered to be a core factor in determining happiness.
Couples therapy provides a neutral third party to assist a couple in understanding and resolving their conflicts in order to improve the relationship. This type of therapy may vary in length from a few sessions to several months, and the amount of work will be directly proportional to the perceived perception and duration of the problem.
