Great Couples Counseling in Flower Mound, TX. Therapy to heal relationships.

When couples choose Melanie as their therapist, they get an advocate for the relationship--not to pick sides. Any coupling is the meeting of two cultures: two completely different people with completely different experiences, values, strengths, and ways to see the world. Melanie will be happy to point out areas that are strengths in your relationship, and help each person craft responses that yield communication instead of conflict. Same-sex and opposite-sex couples welcome.

There is no such thing as "finding the right person." Happy couples are happy because they BECOME the right person. Through couples therapy you will learn how to value your partner, maintain appropriate and healthy boundaries, and grow as an individual while moving toward oneness. My goal is to help you communicate more effectively, become emotionally intimate, and connect with each other in honoring way. End your search for the non-existent "perfect fit" and learn how to bring happiness into your relationship.

There are countless models of healthy romantic relationships, from monogamous to polyamorous, and unique variations between partners. The scripts for dating and longterm relationships of our parents’ generations may not be applicable to your relationship, and there is no formal education in how to be a good partner or how to identify unhealthy relationships. But there is psychological research that shows that effective communication, emotional openness, intimacy, and other factors contribute to healthy relationships. Creating these conditions are skills that can be learned. I practice brief humanistic and emotion-focused therapy (EFT) to help my LGBTQ and hetero clients learn these skills.

A committed relationship isn't always one in which marriage is involved. Couples therapy is an approach to help you to learn to listen to each other deeply. Intimacy, transparency, and vulnerability are key to your relationship success. In addition, learning to soothe yourself prior to your communication so that you can treat each other in new and supportive ways is helpful. Lastly, learning to have special regard to the uniqueness of your partner's needs can help your couple's relationship to succeed. (I am an ally and treat all couples.)

Communication problems and intimacy issues can lead to a breakdown in connection between you and your partner. In counseling you will focus on healing through reconnecting with your partner by creating new, shared meanings about the relationship. Typically, clients rely on old assumptions about how to make a relationship work. These different perspectives often get in the way. Ultimately, your ability to be understanding and compassionate for your partner will improve your ability to communicate more effectively. Improved communication will lead to more openness, which will inevitably lead to greater intimacy and a more satisfying relationship.

Marriage is a beautiful gift, in which we experience a love that fills the depths of our heart and soul. But even the best relationships can experience conflict and distress. Couples need some essential skills to successfully work through their issues, such as communication, understanding, the ability to compromise, gratitude for one another, shared goals and a vision for the future of the relationship, understanding how you give and receive love, and more. We will help you identify what's at the root of your conflict and develop the skills to overcome it. Looking for marriage enrichment? Let's focus on the above things but also deepen your emotional, physical, and spiritual intimacy.

Couples desire a relationship with their partner to be loving, caring, honest, and trustworthy. At times, poor communication and a lack of skills can hinder the development of a loving relationship. At Christ Centered Counseling we assist couples with learning the value of their relationship from a biblical perspective. Couples can expect to utilize Scripture, prayer, and communication skills to enhance their relationship and to work through challenges that hinder them from growing together in Christlike unity.

It is very possible to have long lasting fulfilling relationships. Although they require a lot of work and can be one of the most difficult aspects of a person's life, it can also be the most positive influence on a person's health. There has been countless research done on how to relate to others in healthy ways and how to have successful relationships in all aspects of your life. I love sharing this knowledge and watching people have the connections they so deeply long for. Relationships are repairable and can always be growing and developing. Why not make the relationships in you life more fulfilling and meaningful.

My goal for couples is to help them learn how to create a better marriage using the wisdom an d principles found in God's word. I help couples create a dependency on Jesus in their marriage, develop new emotional intimacy, and effectively communicate their needs to their spouse. I believe if I can help each spouse to grow to become their best self and stand on their own two feet that their marriage together will thrive.

I work with married couples, as well as other couples in long-term relationships. In some cases, divorce, or the threat of divorce, is in the air. Sometimes, the same arguments come up over and over again, and never get resolved. Living with another person has many benefits, but it also often means there will be disagreements between the two of you. After all, you are two different people! Couples counseling can work wonders toward resolving some of those issues, while also teaching you how to thrive in spite of the issues that can't be fully resolved.
