Great Couples Counseling in Norwood, NC. Therapy to heal relationships.

Do you want to fall back in love with your spouse? Do you want to stop fighting so much and learn how to appreciate each other? Do you want to learn how to establish more emotional intimacy in your relationship? Do you want to lead to have each other's back and know that you can get through anything together? I can work with you and your spouse to work towards these goals.

In our first session we will take a look at what brings you to therapy and what you would like to see different. To further understand the dynamics of your relationship, you will take a relationship inventory that will assess the strengths and the areas of growth in your relationship. Based on your story and the results of the assessment, we will set the goals for your therapy that will guide us in the process of rebuilding and improving your relationship with your significant other. We will use exercises from Gottman Method to help you become friends again, increase fondness and admiration for each other, and learn healthy communication and conflict resolution skills.

I love working with couples. I believe in the foundation of healthy relationships and understand that sometimes people are "stuck". I'm a certified Prepare and Enrich instructor that allows couples to discover who they are in order to work together as a team. This approach addresses those who are in relationships, engaged or struggling in their marriages.

I work with couples with the understanding that their relationship is the "client" in the room. However, it is important for each client to realize when they enter a counseling session, they bring with them all of their past/family of origin/hurts/pain/etc that make them who they are. So while focusing on the relationship, they must be aware of how they are contributing to the presenting problems. Communication and conflict resolution are at the core of the work I do with couples.

Couples come in a variety of 'flavors and colors', so to speak, and every couple is a unique situation. I bring 40 years of experience to helping couples heal their relationship. Couple situations usually have conflict and communication roadblocks as a big, if not, central component. I specialize in communication problems and conflict/anger resolution, offering help in both conventional communication approaches and an alternative approach that frequently is successful where conventional approaches fail. My Un-Talk TM Therapy approach also has the advantage of helping with an uncooperative partner. All other current approaches require the participation of both parties.
