Therapy offers a supportive environment where you can communicate in a safe way... learn to calm down, listen and validate the other person... become more aware of each other's over-reactions and vulnerabilities... understand each other's needs... clarify commonalities and differences in your relationship goals... negotiate, accept and move on to a better emotional state. With objective guidance, I can provide you with insights, exercises and concrete skills to help you transform your relationship into a lasting source of love and companionship... or find the courage to end what cannot be repaired.

Most of my work is with couples who struggle with communication, financial, parenting, and blended family issues. My focus is on providing counseling from a biblical perspective and I've found that the extent to which couples are able to apply those principles in their marriage truly determines how well they do in therapy. Although I specialize in couples work, I also work with individual clients in the areas of anxiety, depression, stress, and spiritual issues.
Donald Goodman, LCSW
In a time when 60% of marriages end in divorce couples counseling is extremely important. Keeping a marriage or a relationship together can save tremendous pain and suffering for each partner. In couples counseling, the goal is two fold. It is to identify and resolve the problem, and improve communication (if this is an issue). Once the problems are identified, the couple can use their communication skills to learn compromise in the relationship. It is evident that many of us did not choose the most compatible partner. However, a relationship can still be rewarding, supportive, and meaningful if the communication is improved. The therapist’s task is to identify the dysfunctional commun

As a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, I focus on helping couples improve their intimate relationships. Couples who are dating, engaged, married, or divorcing benefit from improved communication. Most couples, even those deeply in love, sometimes feel alone in their relationships. I help them to honor the space between them, cross the bridge to the other's world and listen with understanding and compassion. Solutions for relationship challenges flow easily once the connection is established. I help couples to understand the stages of relationship, recapture some of that early passion, reestablish fun and playfulness, and move forward toward their shared vision.

When couples begin to have problems, it usually menas that the communication between the couple has failed. Sometimes other issues are involved as well, such as children, finanicial, career goals, sexual issues and infedelity. If you both are willing to work, listen and even change a bit then I can help you improve your relationship. I can teach you better communication skills and better understanding of where each person may be coming from. Communication is key to a healthy relationship.

Being in a relationship takes work. Learning to communicate, learning to listen, learning to respond rather than react can be accomplished during relationship counseling. Just as you can learn to dance like a star, you can learn the intimate dance of relating. We each bring our history into a relationship. We bring habitual ways of relating, childhood experiences, past relationships into each relationship. Learning how to truly connect with another human being takes effort and commitment. Overcoming our past, unlearning habits, learning new styles in order to develop a rewarding present relationship requires professional help in the same way as learning to dance requires a dance coach.

If you are experiencing any of the following issues, counseling may help:
Difficulty with intimacy or committment
Feeling misunderstood by your partner
Increased conflict
Phase of Life changes
Deciding if you should stay together
Increased stress in daily life
Parenting issues
As a relationship therapist, I've had success with pre-marital, married couples, divorce recovery, and single people with intimacy concerns. If you are feeling stuck in old relationship patterns that are no longer working in your life, or are longing for a revitalized connection with your partner, there is still hope that you can reconnect. My training includes Level I Gottman Method and Prepare/Enrich Facilitator.
William Josephs, Ph.D.
Couples counseling helps improve people's relationships by helping them to understand how styles of communication often can promote or interfere with appreciating the other. Unproductive communication styles are rooted in the habits of individuals to be focused upon own concerns, leading to difficulty tolerating their differences. Couples learn to be better able to focus, listen and understand each other; toward the aim of getting what they want out of the relationship while allowing the other to be just as ardent about their goals. Each individual has equal bearing upon their relationship and shared responsibility is the key to fluid, harmonious relationships.
Alice Dollinger, MFT

I work with pre-marital, marital, and couples that are dating. Many times these couples come into counseling very frustrated and feel misunderstood by their partners. This conflict leads to arguing and eventually to thoughts of disolving the relationship. I work together with these couples by integrate techniques designed to generate understanding of the viewpoint of their partner. From this understanding we work together on building the relationship by a blending of the strengths and weaknesses of each partner. Success is achieved by a consistent working through of issues, each time with the partners taking more responsibility with the tools that they have learned from previous sessions.

Couples therapy/counseling, as well as premarital counseling, can be helpful in aiding you and your partner to feel like you are on the same page, and to resolve issues that are distressing your relationship. I specialize in working with couples issues and am Gottman trained. Making sure to find someone who has a background and the experience in working with couples is essential to making therapy work. A happy marriage/relationship means a happier life. I am also sensitive to working with multicultural couples and LGBTQQ couples.

All couples face challenges in a relationship. What makes some relationships last and others that don't is a combination of communication skills and commitment to making the marriage work. Many marriages test people to their limit, but that doesn't mean it's a bad marriage. If you are able to hang in there and work with a trusted professional, you can expand and grow into a more loving and nurturing person.
Deryl Goldenberg, Ph.D.
Getting to be in a relationship--the challenge of learning to live with, express loving and angry feelings and show kindness and respect to another human being on a consistent basis is what we all aim for. Most couples fall far short of this, because they get into squabbles about minor and major things, but mostly minor things. Lack of communication skills is the issue, and most individuals don't know the real source of their hurt or frustration, without resoritng to blaming the other for their own unpleasant feelings. The work here is learning how to: face longstanding conflicts (sex, money, kids); express frustration constructively; show kindness; connect emotionally with your partner.

I think of myself as the couples witness, there to remind each person of what they previously stated as being important to them. Problems arise when both parties can’t hold a dual awareness of their own experience. Happily mated means meeting personal needs in a win-win, not at the expense of the other person’s needs, nor sacrificing any basic need within ourself. We all meet as a couple first and sometimes, I will meet with each person on individual basis. This is so each person can learn how to effectively self-regulate their sensations and emotions, reducing their instinctual “fight or flight” response.

We expect a lot from romance & marriage these days - and a lot of the time we end up disappointed. Divorce rates are sky-rocketing. Many people are frustrated in their efforts to have a loving, caring, rewarding relationship. In my experience, almost all couples have communication and closeness issues. We are frustrated and confused when we seem to end up hurting the one we love. We crave intimacy - but it eludes us. Sex is unsatisfying or problematic. Here's the great news: There ARE solutions for these issues! The bad news is no one teaches them to you. If you come to me, I will teach you the skills you two need to live happily ever after. It won't be easy, but it is very do-able.

When you are looking for a couples therapist, you need someone who is trained in couples therapy specifically. Often therapists say they know how to help a couple, but one's training in couples therapy is typically limited to one class in their entire education! The focus of therapy is traditionally on the individual! Here at LA Therapy Network, several of our therapists have specific couples therapy training! We require all our therapists to be educated specifically in couples therapy. We are all trained in helping cuoples from a developmental perspective as well as providing practical strategies for communication and conflict resolution. GLBT families encouraged and welcome!

Relationships are an area where young adults can struggle. Wanting to create lasting bonds, they don't always think about who is a good match for them, given their family values, and plans for their life. Past failed relationships can also leave young adults hesitant to open their hearts and try to find love again.
I help young adults discover what it takes to create the loving relationship they've always dreamed of. I also facilitate the important pre-marital discussions between couples that are necessary prior to beginning their life together as a married couple.

He thinks it is her fault and she thinks it is his. Some couples blame, accuse, and criticize. Others live separate lives, almost as distant friends living in the same house. Sometimes someone cheats on the other or goes off alone to view pornography, leaving the unresolved conflicts of the relationship in the background. A fearful lover may either hide in some way or try to desperately control the other. If you are on the brink of splitting up, but not quite ready to totally give up, then now is the crucial time to seek help. Thomas Schmierer, M.A., helps couples address the fears of intimacy that are keeping the relationship weak. Your relationship can be fixed!

To achieve our goal of getting love we want from our relationship, the process must begin at the beginning by looking at your earliest relationships in life and not only recognizing the traits of those early care givers but also realizing that those very same qualities are the ones we are repeatedly seeking out unconsciously in our adult partners.
Learning to access your own true emotions intra-psychically and express them genuinely, honestly, and directly, as well as being able to listen, hear, and mirror another’s truly shared deep feelings and thoughts are keys to having highly effective and functional relationships. Learn to own your own feelings and your own role in your relationships

In couples therapy, I use the first session or two for discernment therapy, that is, clarifying the goals to be sure both parties are equally committed to the relationship. Then, I verbalize rules and guidelines that requires both to respect me, each other and the process. I strive to remain neutral and to allow each person enough time, without interruption, to express their concerns about the relationship. To help each person get what they need, I act as a mediator and negotiate for changes in the relationship..
