Great Couples Counseling in Old Jamestown, MO. Therapy to heal relationships.

I had a fight with my housemate a few weeks ago. We are not a couple, but we have been living together for several years and our friendship is past the cushy rainbow stage. I said mean things loudly. She said mean things loudly. Then we separated and shut our doors. Five minutes later I went back to her room. (Paraphrased) "I didn't tell you how I felt because I thought you would leave our friendship!" I was screamsobbing. "Why would I leave our friendship, you're one of my best friends?!" She was screamsobbing. The point: Relationship, be it romantic or not, is about answering safety, trust, and "Can I rely on you?" "Are you there for me?" "Will you be there when I call for you?"

Because Tyler's specialty is sexual addiction and affair recovery, couple work is an important aspect of therapy. Tyler has worked with many couples on communication issues, conflict resolution, rebuilding love and trust where it has been broken, and working through other family discord that may arise in families from time to time. Tyler also does premarital counseling.

When you enter a committed relationship, the assumption is that you’re supposed to know how to “do” relationships. But it’s not always that easy; we don’t learn relationships in school. I enjoy helping couples bring peace, stability and communication back into their relationship, thus improving their lives and the lives of those most affected by the relationship. My clients often report less discord, arguing, and tension, and many experience greater confidence, happiness, and emotional and mental strength. A more harmonious marriage or relationship reduces stress, provides greater energy, and helps children. Couple’s counseling can help you enjoy all that your relationship was meant to be.

Relationships are important in our lives. Significant others have an even greater role. When we allow external variables to impact our priority relationships, distance can grow. Through our counseling relationship, intimacy, communication, trust, and mutual respect may be strengthened. Couples counseling may involve both individuals but is not required to initiate services.

Whether it is pre-marital counseling or you are seeking help to navigate the numerous issues that come up in your relationships, I want to help you and your partner work through the difficulty. My goal in couples counseling is to begin to open communication lines. By working alongside, I want to help educate, process and lead you and your partner to a better relationship.

Couples who see me for counseling can expect several things. First, I'm going to emphasize that your relationship is the client that I'll be working with. Second, each of you contributes both positively and negatively to the quality of the relationship. Third, change in the relationship can take place if you own your contribution and determine what new behaviors you'd like to see. Lastly, I'll focus on assisting you in building a firm foundation for lasting intimacy that can continue for years after therapy has concluded.
