It's natural for conflict and other issues to arise in a couple since you're two separate people with your own histories and upbringings coming together in relationship. The key is being able to self-regulate through difficult emotions, and communicate about what's happening effectively with your partner. When you can both stay calm, you'll be able to find new solutions to the issues that have come up in your relationship. I'm here to support you in identifying the issues causing conflict in your relationship, getting to the root of them, communicating effectively about them, and coming up with solutions that work.

I work with dating couples, married couples, and family couples (mother/daughter & father/son). Together we work to find greater awareness in who we are in relationships. We look at our own personality and experiences, other's personalities and experiences, and the relationship created within that. We identify boundaries, expectations, styles of living and loving, along with other personality factors that all play a vital role in relationships. We learn to come together rather than pull apart through our differences.

Coach/Change Agent/Consultant

In 80013 - Nearby to Thornton.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties dont agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings? Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com to learn how! Or call 877-606-6161 DR. FLEMING'S NEW RELATIONSHIP/COUPLES INTENSIVES www.kevinflemingphd.com/marriage-couples-retreats.php

Couples Counselor

Lacey Wilkins, MA, MS, LPC, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor

In 80212 - Nearby to Thornton.

Every relationship has its own nervous system; it's a living story between two people. I help couples slow down enough to notice what happens beneath the arguments, while building a toolkit of emotional awareness, communication skills, and repair work. Through emotionally focused and body-based work, we'll uncover what each partner’s nervous system is trying to protect. Mindfulness slows reactivity; curiosity invites repair. The goal isn’t perfect communication, but rather learning to cultivate an environment of emotional safety that can hold honest conflict.
