Couples Counseling
Combining intervention techniques from two of the most widely-acclaimed couples counseling modalities, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method Couple Therapy, couples counseling offers you and your partner personalized guidance and caring support as you work together to learn, develop and practice the skills that are most crucial for repairing your specific relationship problems and strengthening your emotional bond. Outcome research studying the effectiveness of Emotionally-Focused Therapy has found that EFT is one of the most effective types of couples counseling and that after participating in EFT, 70-75% of couples successfully move from distress to relationship recovery and approximately 90% of couples show significant improvements.
Whether you are hoping to end destructive arguing, rebuild trust after an affair, or prepare for a future marriage, couples counseling that is based on the most cutting-edge relationship research can help you and your partner learn specific techniques that have been shown to effectively help couples overcome obstacles and have satisfying and fulfilling marriages.
