Great Couples Counseling in Duluth, GA. Therapy to heal relationships.

Whether you’re having specific relationship issues or not, couples counseling can make your relationship better. Most couples only seek help when in a crisis involving infidelity, communication issues, waning intimacy, money, feeling unwanted/unappreciated, in-laws, etc. While these problems may seem insurmountable, with patience and mutual work, it’s possible to resolve them. I provide a safe & supportive space for both partners to explore thoughts and feelings about each other and the relationship and provide practical help to overcome obstacles. Your relationship satisfaction is key to your happiness. Couples counseling can help you regain what you’ve lost or find what you never had.

Couples are as unique as the individuals in the relationship. However, most couples go through similar cycles in their lives together, and have difficulty with communication and managing conflict. Some couples tend to avoid difficult discussions, and may simply sweep controversial topics aside. Other couples interact with anger, hostility and even aggression. Both of these types are negative and prevent you and your partner from having a fun, fulfilling, committed relationship. I will provide assessment for your relationship, and then teach you both skills to use to improve your communication and conflict resolution. Most couples can improve their relationship in 6-10 sessions.

I enjoy helping couples stay married when at all possible. Relationships take self-awareness, compromise and a shared vision. To often people rush into marriage without really knowing each other and then discover along the way that they only have 80% of what they want instead of celebrating the 80% they focus on the 20% they don't have. Understanding each others differences and limitations will help you navigate a healthy marriage. Shame and guilt are very destructive. Learning how to forgive yourself and move forward by processing your past relationships can help you understand your present relationship. This can be very important in stopping the cycle of dysfunctional relationships.

A happy and fulfilled partner relationship is a complex matter. Even if it is not dealing with any significant problems, routine, and boredom can lead to new problems. Who can benefit from couples counseling? - Loving couples wanting to improve their relationship. - Dissatisfied couples wanting to improve their relationship. - Engaged couples looking for insight into healthy relationships. - Couples considering separation or divorce.

Summer is a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist (CIRT) and a member of Georgia Regional Imago Therapists (GRITS). Imago, which is the Latin word for image, is a highly effective method of couples' counseling. Summer is passionate about helping couples restore and improve their connection to one another, especially challenging in times of transition or crisis. A healthy marriage is what we envision when we get married, but too often we don't get the help we need when we are stuck in unhealthy patterns of relating. Or, just as often, unhealthy patterns of not relating. Summer encourages couples to reconnect in therapy, providing a safe, compassionate and challenging place to do this.
