When couples seek counseling, it is usually because one partner wants the other to change. In Ceci's work with couples, she helps them realize that they both affect, and are affected, by each other. Ceci's first priority is to help them identify the STRENGTHS in their relationship. Once a couple is able to identify their strengths, they can use those strengths to support the necessary changes they each need to make to improve their relationship.
When only one partner is willing to attend counseling. Ceci works with that one partner to initiate changes within themselves, which then leads to changes in the couple's relationship.
Ilissa Banhazl, MFT
Couple's counseling is my favorite kind of therapy. There's always so much energy in the room. Most couples are looking for communication skills. I teach that and I also teach what to do when a discussion turns into an argument. I also teach that there is no right or wrong, just differences. You'll learn to how accept those differences. Do you want to be happy or right? Most couples come in when they are about to end the relationship. They come to give it one last try so they know they've done all they could before they give up, especially when there are children involved. Is it time to save your relationship?

Do you and your partner find yourselves fighting over the same things over and over again? Do you end up feeling alone and misunderstood? What I know is that most relationships aren't easy and that sometimes, with the involvement of an unbiased third party, and just a little bit of learning, it can get a lot easier. I know that you both want the best for your relationship and I want that for you too. Don’t continue to struggle with this alone - let me see if I can help.
Ron Jackson, MS
I love providing engagement or premarital counseling or just couple insights into their relationship. I highly recommend couple counseling to learn about each other and to hopefully improve their relationship. It is a delight to learn all about your partner before you make any big decision. Couple counseling also becomes a safe place to learn problem solving skills or to look into that last big disagreement you had and to discover what is really going on between you two. All couple counseling includes testing which includes the Taylor Johnson Temperament Analysis inventory as well as the Prepare-Enrich Testing.

In marriage and/or couples relationships, there is a partnership. Two individuals come together to go on with their individual goals, and add their shared goals as a couple. In order to have a successful relationship, I have found that five areas need to be working well in every relationship. Trust, Honesty, Communication, Intimacy, and Balance of Power. Conflicts develop in any of these areas when one feels that they are not being" heard and understood." Counseling works to assist you in resolving those
conflicts so that your relationship can be a happier one again.

If you are a powerful, modern individual who wants to improve interactions with a partner, you'll benefit from interacting with a third person - the therapist - who can represent the best interest or highest good for your "relationship" . It helps to check in each week in order to stay related to the tough issues in your relationship - money, kids, romance, work , one another's frustrations and issues. We'll work on them in session each week where you are both feeling safe and respected. Then you can go about your week knowing that time is set aside to work on the "relationship". Change will come about gradually and naturally.
Anthony Fiore, Ph.D.
I specialize in couples and marriage counseling. My approach is based on recent research in marriage science showing what habits successful couples have that other do not. My approach is skills based and practical, teaching both of you how to communicate more effectively, how to understand each other, how to decide what is changeable and what is not in your relationship, how to deal with perpetual issues,on which you may be deadlocked, and different ways to view issues and problems in your relationship to reduce conflict. I also help you identify what is working in your relationship, (or what used to work) so that we can build on the positive.

Every couple has moments of disconnection, but if the gaps are getting wider between you and it seems as if you no longer have anything in common, I can help. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a proven effective short-term therapy that helps couples remember why they fell in love in the first place. As human beings, we all need of love, affection, and intimacy but sometimes the way we go about getting it can actually create more distance. Our partner only hears the anger, not seeing the anxiety underneath because we fear losing them. If you are wanting to to feel safe, happy and fulfilled again in your romantic relationship, I can help.

Couples of all kinds struggle. I can help you build or rebuild or leave your relationship with as little damage as possible. I will guide you in making the right choice for yourself. Therapy consists of examining each person's history, as well as your current issues. A unique course is then set for you depending upon your needs. Boundary setting, dealing with communication, conflict resolution, increasing intimacy, can all be accomplished. I work both as an educator and a coach as you practice skills. We unpack small happenings to examine where and how things went wrong, and then I will give you concrete examples of how to rectify things between you. When you come, we will build it!

Tolstoy famously said, "All happy families are happy in the same way, but all unhappy families suffer differwntly." The same is true of marriage.

I am an Advanced practitioner in EFCT, and recently co-founded the OC Community for EFT (eftorangecounty.com). This method will help build a safe haven and secure bond of trust between lovers.

Couples therapy is not directly linked with psychotherapy because the focus of the therapy is on relationship issues and not on psychological illness of a partner. It is a kind of counseling therapy focusing primarily on the issues that exist in the relationship between couples. But these issues always involve individual problems and relationship based arguments. Expert counseling helps in reestablishing the missing links in the relationship, which have either been broken or worn out with time.

Our intimate relationships are the place we search for the greatest meaning and are, ironicaly, the field most rich in landmines. Whatever is not worked through in us will be activated in these most important relationships. Learning your own sensitivities and your own 'buttons' as you learn those of your partner can transform your relationship from one of hostility to one of deep support and love. I have experienced this transformation firsthand many times and it is a privilege to see relationships restored and rebuilt on a healthy, solid foundation.

Couples counseling is a wonderful opportunity to truly connect. Learning new ways of bonding with our partners is much easier than you may think and I believe it is truly a must in any relationship. I don't want to force partners in but rather encourage them to see the potential that exists within your relationship. My reality over the years is that you are going to get stuck at some point. That's ok. We just need to help you through it. Individual needs cannot be sacrificed and truly do not have to be. Let's see what we can do together.

Are you struggling in your relationship? Are you arguing more than you used to, or maybe just feeling more disconnected and distant? I would like to help. I have worked with many couples who come in angry and hurt, not sure how to talk to each other anymore since talking usually leads to an argument. I work with them on improving communication, identifying where the hurt and pain comes from, and helping each partner gain a sense of empathy for the other. Let me help you in your relationship, too. I know I can help you gain a better understanding of what you need and how you can better take care of the needs of your partner.
Janet Whitney, MA, MFT
Men and women think differently. With understanding brain differences, along with issues that stem from family of origin and differences in personality styles, most couples can learn to appreciate and get close to one another, again. Communication skills can be improved upon and gaining better understanding of your partner can start to eliminate the resentments.

I have been assisting couples in their relationships as a professional, objective marriage counselor for 30 years. Couples counseling calls for specific techniques and abilities and I pride myself on being able to get to the core issues in a relationship and begin working to change those immediately. I incorporate many strategies to accomplish your goals which may include: new communiction tools, breaking old patterns, homework assignments--reading or exercises to practice, and role playing. Every couple is different, but many of the problems have similar root causes. We set goals together initially, and then effectively work together to reach those goals in simple and effective sessions

The love you once felt for each other when you met and decided to live together is still there. Love appears to erode and even disappear as we take our relationship for granted. We can become Insensitive, lazy, stop being involved, intimate or concerned and understanding. These disconnections lead to more and more distance over time. Arguing or indifference can become a way of life. Along with a lack of intimacy, sex,sharing of interests and even simple communication. This disconnect in the relationship can lead to abuse, betrayal, infidelity, separation and divorce.
in Couples Counseling we will identify the issues, set goals and activities to reconnect with the love that is still there.

Couples have come to see me for a variety of reasons throughout the years, but I find that no matter what the presenting problem may be, being able to effectively communicate with each other is vital to restoring the relationship. Often couples have a completely different style of relating to one another and resolving conflict. I work with couples to better understand their partner and I help each person to communicate in a way that they can finally be heard. It doesn’t matter what you are fighting about if the other person can’t hear what you are saying. Call 714-751-0888 so I can help you express yourself more effectively so you can stop the fighting and start the healing process.
Martin Hsia, Psy.D.
I counsel couples from an Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) model, helping couples break their cycles of conflict by truly hearing and understanding what each partner is communicating. This means helping couples see past what they are arguing about to the actual significance of those unresolved tension-filled subjects, and learning how to communicate effectively to get on the same page.

You often hear couples say: "we've just grown apart," "we just can't seem to communicate," we were going along fine and then the wheels just seemed to fall off the wagon." Often the problem is about how each person attempts to get their needs met , while they and the world around them is changing, resulting in ruptures their relationship. Often, the means of getting one's needs met, must be renegotiated. Or, there may have been an outright break of trust causing ruptures in the relationship. Exploring whether trust can be restored requires both people working through and tolerate their own, and the others myriad of emotions. Let me help you store your relationship.

Couples' work is probably one of the most difficult work I do, yet can be the most rewarding. A good part of my practice is in working with couples and helping them learn how to treat each other with respect, to ask for what they want and need and express how they feel. So often we don't grow up learning how to build closeness and friendship, as well as love each other. Being in a long-term relationship myself for many years, I can give you some good ideas and practice on being connected to one another and yet retaining your individuality.

I have been helping couples heal their relationships for more than 25 years. Effective therapy includes developing a clear understanding of the different family "cultures" couples have been raised in, and a clear perspective of how early hurts and pain can be retriggered by the current marital or couple relationship. Communication skills are essential for working through chronic or immediate pain a couple is experiencing together--and empathy for the each other's perspective is at the heart of those skills. It is also essential to know when a relationship has the potential to open up and grow, and when development together is no longer possible due to abuse or excessive hostility.
Linda Nusbaum, M.A., MFT
Living happily in your relationship. This is what all couples want. So why is it so difficult to achieve? We start out with high hopes for a happy life. Unfortunately in many cases couples fall into patterns of communicating with each other that cause hurt feelings and anger. Learn how to create new ways of talking with each other. I specialize in helping couples find their way back to a loving, supportive environment.
Couples counseling doesn't last forever. In most cases you might be in counseling for a few months. It works. The couples I counsel feel better about themselves and each other. Make your relationship the one you want today.
Heather Browne, PsyD, MA, LMFT

Communication, anger management, roles and responsibiliteis are all addressed as needed. I am a nationally touring group counselor for New Life Ministries couple conventions.

Couples counseling is not just for those who are married. Couples include those living together or apart, those in same sex relationships, or any two individuals who would like to work on making their relationship healthier. Couples counseling can enhance an already good relationship and can create healthier communication and intimacy in those relationships who are struggling.

Many of us can remember the frustrations, hurts, and joys experienced in a loving relationship. Often couples can become confused with the variety of emotions and complicated interpersonal interactions. A counselor can help a couple avoid the pitfalls that can destroy a relationship and help a couple to establish healthy bonding and boundaries within effective communication to enhance and maintain a healthy relationship. For those in an unhealthy relationship, counseling can help an individual understand their need for change, setting boundaries, and maintaining safety for themselves and for other family members.
Trish Phillips, M.A., MFT
A couple that is seeking counseling is making an unspoken statement that their relationship is very important to them. It can be painful and uncomfortable to try to let down our walls with someone we love who has hurt us, doesn't listen or see us anymore, or has cheated on us. Maybe you just lost your way in the relationship and have drifted apart. Whatever your situation, I can help both partners learn to listen and communicate clearly as well as pin point areas in the relationship that may need some work.
Craig Clark, Ph.D.
Living with another person can be difficult, whether you are married or considering marriage. When communication breaks down, it can be hard to understand another person's point of view. Couple counseling with a neutral professional can be very helpful. The most common isses concern finances and sex, including infedelity, sexual dysfunctions, and sexual addiction. As a psychologist, Dr. Clark works with people from all cultures and backgrounds, including alternative lifestyles.

My specialty! Couples counseling is for any relationship that is having problems or for any couple that wants to strengthen their relationship. This is sometimes referred to as Marriage Counseling or Premarital Counseling but is not limited to these relationships. I also counsel same-gender couples and separated couples seeking improved co-parenting. In therapy, I watch the interactions and communication between the couple to see where the dysfunction exists. Most relationship problems are a result of poor communication or poor intimacy. I help couples to increase self-awareness about how their own behavior is contributing to the dysfunction of the relationship. Homework Homework Homework!

Choosing a partner and maintaining a relationship with that person is one of the most difficult and challenging tasks in our life. I see many couples who long for a more loving and satisfying relationship with their mate, but are unable for a variety of reasons to establish and/or maintain one. If you can communicate, you can bear almost anything! Couple's counseling can help both of you create a new and more satisfying way of being with each other. I coach you in how to create safety in talking about your experience and teach you to express your deepest thoughts and feelings, which ultimately creates a richer and more intimate relationship for you both.

I have been helping straight and gay couples build stronger, healthier relationships for over 10 years. I feel that helping couples is my most important calling. Relationships are so fundamental, and the challenges we struggle with are so universal. At the same time, gay and lesbian couples have specific issues and needs, and it's very important to have a therapist that understands these issues and who can provide that extra level of connection that can make all the difference. Whether gay or straight, in our couples counseling work your relationship will be recognized and understood for its uniqueness. I believe in your relationship and will be pulling for you every step of the way.

Couples want to raise their relationship to a HIGHER LEVEL OF LOVE! Today there are tools to guide couples to improve communication, learn how to be a team, resolve problems without escalating, and regain their sexual passion. When relationships become stuck at a lower level of love couples lost desire and attraction, can't communicate with depth, and feel like adversaries on opposite teams! We build our whole lives on love, why settle! Dr. Wheeler has written several books (on amazon) that teach couples tools for heart-centered love!
Jane Drew, Ph.D.
The most essential need in life is to connect! When someone complains or controls, what does he or she really want? TO BE LOVED. When someone is distant or busy all the time, what does he or she really want? TO FEEL SAFE AND CARED ABOUT. All fighting, criticizing, defending, and withdrawing are tragic attempts to get our needs met. Maybe we learned these ineffective behaviors as we grew up, but they don't make you or your partner happy or satisfied. Let me help you learn how to speak from your heart and to listen with compassion to each other. My sessions are active and interactive. I can help you make changes, live with imperfections, and feel in love again.

Let's face it, relationships can be very difficult and confusing at times. I believe that it IS possible to have a satisfying and dynamic relationship in today's world, if we're willing to do the work. I help my clients to learn healthier ways to express themselves individually and to provide understanding and compassion for each other. I do this by teaching and practicing more effective listening and communication skills. Clients learn to focus on themselves as opposed to pointing the finger at their partner. My clients are continually excited about how these changes have transformed their once difficult relationship into a much more satisfying and fulfilling dynamic.

A professional working with couples will help first to clarify the main issue brought to the first session. Usually there is much more going on between two people, and a therapist will help the two dig alittle deeper. Maybe old anger is a roadblock....or resentments. Unforgiveness is a big stummbling block. After a thorough evaluation, usually meeting each individual seperately for at least one time, then together. You will dicide want you want to change, improve upon, and goals you wish to obtain for your relationship. You can expect improvement of communication tools and skills to progress. Each partner must be willing to look a themselves as homework is given weekly.

Every couple's problems are unique to their relationship. To quickly understand the assets and liabilities in this relationship, I use PREPARE-ENRICH, a computer administered inventory each partner can take at home. This gives an MRI or CAT scan, as it were, of the relationship in ten areas: communication, conflict resolution, partner style and habits, financial management, leisure activities, sexual relationship, family and friends, roles and responsibilities, spiritual beliefs, and forgivness. It also describes couple typology (what kind of a relationship you have), relationship dynamics, a personal stress profile for each partner, a couple and a family of origin map, and the SCOPE Persona

I believe couples naturally select partners who will eventually restimulate old hurts. If couples can recognize this, then conflict becomes an opportunity for healing and growth. My job in working with couples is to help them identify these old hurts and work together with one another to understand and provide compassion for one another as they do this work. Emotional intimacy is the natural outcome of this powerful work.

The road to developing a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship often take a surprising turn. Something happens that can bring you to a place of confusion and distress. I have joined many couples at this point and been able to provide support and help in developing the safety they need in their relationship to work through things effectively. I provide them with tools to communicate honestly, manage their conflicts without damaging their connection, and become comfortable in being truly known to each other.

With the busy lives we all have it can be hard to get a couples schedule to match up to even schedule an appointment. With that in mind, my goal when a couple is struggling is to help them get back on track with their relationship as quickly as possible. Often couples just need a quick "tune-up" over key issues such as infidelity, financial difficulties, parenting differences, or just feeling like they've grown apart. I provide solution oriented brief therapy for couples focusing on communication styles, listening skills and getting your individual needs met within the relationship. Partnered or married many of my couples find relief to their presenting struggle within 4-6 sessions.
Amie Lowery-Luyties, MFT, MS
The main thing I notice couples coming in for is to work on trust issues, communication problems, and lack of intimacy within the relationship. This can manifest into anger, affairs, shutting down, and a number of other behaviors. I work with couples FIRST on what does work, so that they can build upon skills they already possess within their relationship. 2: Teaching basic listening skills so that partners feel heard. 3: Teaching the couples how to communicate without attacking. 4: implementing those skills at home. Therapy is much more complex than this, and there are many more aspects of communication, but building strengths is very important to relationship success.

Are you feeling disconnected from your partner? Drifting apart? Constantly fighting? Leading separate lives? It would be a privilege to help you reconnect and find the love that brought you together in the first place. I will help you understand why it doesn’t feel safe to truly express how you feel and create the safety necessary to share all of you with one another.

Are you feeling lonely and unhappy in your relationship?
Do you argue about the same things over and over again?
Relationships can be difficult. They be the source of so much joy and also the cause of so much pain and suffering.
Couples therapy can really help!
With some support and guidance, you can learn how to solve your problems more effectively, transform your conflicts into cooperation, communicate more compassionately with each other, and bring back the loving feelings.
You don’t need to struggle through this alone. I’d like to help you have the relationship you truly want.
Kim Czemeres, M.A., LMFT
As a couple, you both may be experiencing a wide range of relationship issues or problems. Unlike marital counseling, couples counseling tends to focus on those aspects of a relationship that may be somewhat similar to those found in a marriage but within a different context. Together, we can strive towards recognizing and understanding your relationship and address those challenges impeding a more meaningful and fulfilling connection.
