Great Couples Counseling in New Haven, MI. Therapy to heal relationships.

Couples therapy is always more difficult than individual because I am having to listen carefully to two people. I think it is highly important for both parties to be heard, understood and validated. I usually address their differences, as well as mutual commonalities. Couples are usually in difficulty when their needs are not being met. Communication, lack of intimacy and issue of forgiveness continue to be the major issues. I have devised a program entitled "The Ingredients of An Ideal Relationship" that I use with couples. It has been highly effective in helping couples identify their issues and work towards resolution.

It’s no secret, relationships can be a struggle. You feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to make it better. You’ve argued. You’ve ignored one another. You’ve tried to talk it out.

Using the model IMAGO Relationship Therapy which is based on the book, Getting the Love You Want, by Harville Hendrix offers several different communication techniques helping couples resolve conflicts and move toward a more compassionate marriage. We help heterosexual, gay, lesbian couples as well as couples with open marriages and those who choose monogamy.

When Couples come in to work with me, I listen to both of them equally and help them put into words what their concerns really are. Once this is defined, I have all kinds of skills that help them. Usually this comes down to communication breakdowns, so I teach them specific tools for effective communication.I even role play these skills right in my office so they can practice them through the week. If I notice one party has some concerns individually, I make individual counseling available to them. I keep them on task each week so they do not loose sight or hope in the process. This has led to over a 90% success rate when working with couples. come in for a free consultation!!!
