Great Couples Counseling in Ellenville, NY. Therapy to heal relationships.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist much of my work is with couples. Couples can be challenged in all stages of the life cycle: Pre-marriage, marital, living together, separating, divorcing, re-marrying, etc. Working with couples is a complex and challenging area of therapy which I particularly enjoy. Often the stakes are high. Helping couples come to a place where each partner is more whole and healthy and the relationship is strong and satisfying is a very gratifying part of my work.

Does something seem off in your relationship? Getting ready to tie the knot? Have you had communication breakdown after breakdown? Do you need a safe, neutral zone to mediate concerns? My practice is passionate about helping in this area. Starting couples work can build better communications, boundaries, respect, and overcome traumas to the relationship.

Objectivity can help level the playing field, especially when a couple is struggling to get it right! Couples find the spark again through empathy, great communication, and allowing a co-pilot to be a guiding light through troubled times. I use a series of approaches to help reach your goals of reduced dysfunction in your relationship which include cognitive behavioral, person centered, and solution focused methods.

The word couples suggests a sense of togetherness, meaning two people, who want to be together, get together for the purpose of experiencing something good, something meaningful, or something positive. However, coming together can be a source of pain if couples loose sight of their main reason for coming together and not resolving their conflicts. Quite often, one of the most difficult things for couples to do is to learn to communicate effectively with each other. Couples usually feel stuck and unable to express their needs. If you truly care about your relationship with each other, my intent is to help you make your connection with each other stronger.
