Great Couples Counseling in Plainwell, MI. Therapy to heal relationships.

Because Insurance companies do not pay for couples to get therapy, our agency finds that only one client can request it. I like it when both parties want to work on a goal together. It can be communication, sex, money issues or parenting. I believe that couples can benefit from talking with a third party and learning how to develop good skills to keep the relationship strong.

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?

First and foremost, we recognize that "couples" can mean a lot of different things and we try not to approach the treatment process with any assumptions. We want to understand you each as individuals and the things that bring you together as a couple. We want to understand the agreements you have with one another and how those agreements may not be holding up. Our approach is rooted in the understanding that you are coming to therapy out of your love for one another, and that you want to find the healthiest way forward -- whether that is together or apart.

Couple relationships go through ebbs and flows and it is important to acknowledge that these problematic times are ok. Wading through what may seem like dangerous waters can strengthen a realationship, as long as the couple is provided with the right guide. I am able to provide tools that will help the couple work on their problem areas while strengthening the positives aspects of the realationship. Couples may find their behaviors may mirror those of their families of origin. I can also help provide tools to stop those problematic behaviors, provide understanding of their development, and promote positive substitutions.
