Great Couples Counseling in Jacksonville, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

It takes two whole people to make one successful couple. Relationships are not always 50/50. They also are not always 100/100. Sometimes there is a give and a take, learning the ebbs and flows of your partner, being a strength when the other is weak and vice versa. Relationships are not a place to keep score. There is no winner. Both parties lose when the relationship becomes a game. As I often say, I don't have all the answers, but I am happy to share what I do know and explore with you what the best options are for you to navigate through your relationship.

For 27 years, David has helped people take mediocre, or struggling relationships, and turn them around it, so that you both can experience the love you desire. In about 70% of cases, only one partner begins to work with David initially, and then down the road the second partner can often join in. But if your partner is resistant, don’t let that stop you from healing your relationship through David’s work. Before you give up on your marriage or relationship, you owe it to yourself and your partner to work with David to see what type of resentments might be lying underneath, that need to be dealt with. Or how our passive aggressive behavior is destroying our current relationship.

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 don’t 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?

Gottman Couples Counseling and Emotion-Focused Couples Counseling are the most highly respected research-supported approaches to counseling couples in the world, whether married or engaged. Infidelity is a common presenting concern for couples seeking counseling, and Dr. Boney has successfully assisted numerous couples to heal from this devastating breach of trust, understand how the marriage became vulnerable to infidelity, and build a more fulfilling relationship.

I very much enjoy working with couples, and see couples counseling as a very active, dynamic process. After quickly helping a couple to identify their particular problem areas, we begin to work together toward finding solutions, improving communication patterns, building intimacy, and learning what our partner needs to feel loved, I often encourage couples with "homework assignments", in order to reinforce new information learned within the session.

I love helping couples experience emotional connection and bonding through emotionally focused therapy. I also have 2 acrostics called LUVE and ATTUNES that I have put together from the best of other marital therapies. LUVE for example stands for listen, understand, validate, and empathize or go with the emotional feeling. We re-process past unresolved fights in session using luve and attunes. Unresolved arguments lead to reactive patterns of interaction. Once couples can repair these attachment injuries on their own they are much better able to maintain safe and secure emotional bonding.
