Great Couples Counseling in Lodi, OH. Therapy to heal relationships.

Relationships can be beautiful; they can also be stressful and conflictual. You may have a good relationship, and perhaps feel something is missing. Couples counseling includes communication skills, validation skills, DBT skills to understand each other's perspective, etc. We will explore your conflict styles and conflict cycles to understand patterns. If you are considering couples counseling, you have taken the first step to connecting on a deeper level.

Couples counseling (on an individual basis) affords you numerous ways to bring about change that you would not normally know how to accomplish on your own. It provides a safe and supportive environment for you to identify and communicate the issues, feelings and behaviors that are bothering you and to facilitate understanding and positive change. I can provide instruction, coaching and feedback to help you develop skills such as healthy communication and ways to build stronger relationships personally and professionally.

In my practice, I frequently see couples in all stages of life. Some couples come in preparation for marriage, some early on in their relationship when problems first begin to arise, and some come who are on the brink of divorce. In each situation, I help them to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their relationship, to find commonality in their search for health, to learn the skills necessary to build a good relationship, and to make their connection all that they want it to be. I believe that every relationship can be improved if the individuals involved are willing to learn and to work toward that end. Love can be rekindled, and trust can be restored.

Feeling conflicted and trying to make a decision about your relationship? Perhaps you want to get your relationship back on track and communicate more constructively about major issues. Need to learn about how to deal with mental health issues in the context of your relationship? Whatever your concern, betrayal, loss, life transition, or just need to restore vitality and joy, counseling services can help.

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?
