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

Relationships need to be nurtured. They must rest on a foundation of mutual respect. Although, there are many important relationship skills, learning how to feel and show respect for one another is fundamental. I can help you develop critical relationship skills and learn how to have a satisfying and enjoyable relationship based on appreciation, acknowledgment, and acceptance.

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.

Why do we seem to have the same arguments over and over again? How do I know if we are really supposed to be together? Are there things we could be doing to better support each other, to help each other grow and be our best selves? If we really love each other, why do we so often hurt each other? How do I know if this is real love, anyway? Relationships are hard. Even more than desire, they require effort and understanding to make them work. Often, even if two people really love each other, one or both may need help to maintain the right effort or understanding to keep the balance necessary for long-term success. Having outside, objective support can make all the difference.

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?
