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

Relationships bring unique challenges when trying to blend two separate complicated lives. Understanding the complexities of relationship dynamics and what each person brings to the table allows for change to occur. Strategies for better communication, healthy boundaries and self-responsibility is the place to start. Relationships will challenge the hardiest of souls as two storylines with the accompanying strengths, challenges, fears, insecurities, doubts, and dreams of each person. And it is here in the intimacy of relationship where those two stories unfold, intertwine and get worked out into a new story to be told.

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.

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?
