Great Couples Counseling in Ocean Ridge, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

COMMUNICATION AND SUPPORT IS VITAL FOR A MEANINGFUL AND LOVING MARRIAGE OR RELATIONSHIP. Sometimes we struggle to identify our needs to our partner and don’t know what they truly need in the relationship. Even when you want to show love and be loved, it is difficult when one or more partner struggles to be emotionally available. The couples or marriage therapist helps couples support each other during crisis, open up about their feelings, and reconnect with the fun in their relationship.

Working with couples is extremely specialized and should only be done with a trained clinician. Please ask the right questions to ensure you are in good hands with someone who knows how to guide you. The client is the relationship - not the individuals! So an individual therapist is not the way to go here. At KML, we have a trained PSYPACT psychologist who is licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), so she can work in any PSYPACT state. This work should focus on what the couple wants for their relationship (sometimes the goal is uncoupling kindly), guiding the couple in healthy growth of the relationship, and all without shame! Relationships are hard and we are here to help!

My approach to couples therapy draws from both the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy. The Gottman Method helps us identify damaging patterns, improve communication, and rebuild trust and intimacy. Imago goes deeper, helping you and your partner understand how your individual histories are showing up in your relationship. Most couples are surprised to find their recurring fights aren't really about what they think they're about. When you can see that clearly, everything shifts. The goal isn't just to stop arguing. It's to actually feel close again.

When working with couples my approach is to listen without taking sides. Communication is typically the key to the misunderstandings, and learning to use “I statements” and communicating to be heard is taught in the sessions. I help each individual learn to see things from the other person's perspective by using role play in the sessions. Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy are often used with couples. Clients are given specific assignments to work on that helps them learn their own strengths and challenges as well as that of their partner. This helps them to appreciate what the other person brings to the relationship.

Most couples have problems with communications, such as anger, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc. I help each of you to identify and express what you believe is harming your relationship. Then, I help each of you identify which small changes you can make in your day-to-day life that will result in big changes and better communication in your relationship.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I have extensive training and experience helping couples navigate some of the most painful and difficult chapters of their relationships. My approach is both compassionate and practical, shaped by years of walking with couples across the country as they work through challenges of trust, intimacy, and communication. I have also been featured in leading outlets such as Forbes, The Knot, Women’s Health, Yahoo, Self, Glamour, and AARP for my insights on relationships, intimacy, and communication. Whether you are facing ongoing conflict, a loss of closeness, or the aftermath of betrayal, I would be honored to meet with you and your partner.

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?

My goal in working with couples is to teach them ways to communicate effectively and find healthy avenues to get their needs met in a relationship. We will explore concepts like validation and the ways in which it serves as a uniting force. Further, I find that it's helpful to teach clients about " love languages" and the ways in which understanding this idea can help people to begin to speak the language of their partner, and begin feeling heard for the first time.

Are you feeling lonely in your own marriage? Disrespected? Misunderstood? It doesn’t have to stay this way. Far too often, high-achieving men feel disrespected and lonely within their own marriages. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help men and their wives to rediscover the incredible value they bring to the marriage, and help them negotiate a hopeful path forward. I will help you identify destructive patterns in your marriage and provide healthier alternatives. I’ll help you improve communication, learn to fight fair, and increase understanding and connection. While it’s not easy work, there is hope. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you fight for your marriage.

Maintaining balance and fostering a healthy relationship requires effort and commitment from both partners. Couples can benefit from therapy by addressing various aspects of their relationship, such as improving problem-solving skills, enhancing communication and understanding between partners, resolving differences, and nurturing what works well. Additionally, couples can work on developing shared meaning and goals to create a fulfilling relationship together. Common issues that couples seek therapy for include financial concerns, differences in parenting styles and lifestyle preferences, and challenges related to sexual intimacy. Through therapy, couples can gain valuable insights, tools, and strategies to strengthen their bond and navigate challenges effectively.

Most couples counselors expect you to come weekly for many months, and you will not know in advance how much time and money you will have to spend. Couples almost always need just 3 or 4 sessions with me to leave happily, their problems gone permanently. Couples who have seen me over the years have paid much less than they would have paid to old-fashioned therapists who get so bogged down in psychoanalyzing couples that most couples quit in frustration, having wasted lots of money and found no permanent solutions. How can I enable change in such a short time? We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems.
