Great Couples Counseling in Richwood, TX. Therapy to heal relationships.

“Stop trying to change me!” The complaint often targeted at a partner during a heated discussion. My response, in couples therapy, is often, “Of course you are being asked to change.” Allow me to explain… In relationships, we go from “I” and “you” to “we”. As “we”, we become better people; hopefully. We have a responsibility to ourselves and to the relationship. The intention is to not “lose ourselves” in a relationship, however, a healthy partnership challenges growth and change. In couples therapy, my approach is to target areas of growth, and yes, change, for the individual and couple. The “change” is discussed, agreed, and mutually beneficial.

I use a lot of Gottman Method and solution-focused therapy to help partner address relationship challenges and strengthen their bond. I will create neutral, supportive space to explore issues such as communication breakdowns, trust concerns, or unresolved conflicts, guiding couples to identify underlying patterns and emotional needs. Techniques include active listening exercises, conflict resolution strategies, and fostering empathy to rebuild connection. Fort Christian couples, biblical principles and prayer may be integrated to align with their faith. Benefits include improved communication, deeper emotional intimacy, and enhanced problem-solving skills.

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?

Through my extensive training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, I work to understand each partner's perspective of their relationship. Collaboratively, we explore how current interactions lead towards disconnection, and then we make efforts towards reconciling that disconnect towards a more nurturing, secure relationship that provides love and respect for both partners.
