Great Couples Counseling in Langley, WA. Therapy to heal relationships.

Try relationship coaching! You can have support and guidance in order to enhance your relationship or learn how to have a healthy and fulfilling relationship. Experience the power of having an open dialogue as we work on communication. Coaching with me can facilitate the connection you two have and help you have a more loving and joyful relationship.

Having a third party present can make it much easier to talk about what is troubling your relationship without descending into fighting or avoidance. In a supportive environment, your therapist will help you understand how your history as individuals as well as a couple is contributing to your current disconnection, breaches of trust, lack of intimacy, and inability to communicate and reach workable agreements. Learn skills to better understand and respect one another, be able to reach toward each other for love and support, have fulfilling experiences of intimacy and connection, and create a life that represents each of you and both of you.

I deeply appreciate working with couples. Discovering the gifts and teachings you have for each other, supporting the deep love that is so often part of the pain between you, deepening the continuing journey of more authentic awareness of each other, and even working to let go of a relationship that no longer serves you is often magical. We explore the patterns that support and undermine your relationship, the constructs of belief, habit, and expectation that these hold in place, the ways to shift your part in them, and what is core to those fights about "stupid things". Working with how you communicate and moving you away from blame and shame builds a foundation for relational healing.

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?

When we choose a partner in life we hope for good times shared together--and to have someone to lean on and mutually support through the tough times. That's why it's so deeply painful when your relationship is strained or broken. Our counselors at Mill Creek Family Services help you get to the heart of the matter and rebuild the relationship you desire. Through the counseling process you find that you're communicating more effectively, resolving conflicts much more quickly, and deepening the love and fulfillment that first brought you together.

Did you know that ADHD symptoms are often the cause of fights between couples? Forgetfulness, impulsivity, lack of motivation, restlessness, difficulty staying on tasks, loss of focus, lack of paying attention, etc. are often the source of many arguments between couples. If you or your partner are curious if the behaviors are the result of ADHD you should consider getting tested for ADHD. Don't let your ADHD behaviors interfere with your relationship and start the process of getting an ADHD assessment today. Contact me and let's start as soon as this week!

I will work with couples who are preparing for marriage and who do not live together. Preparing for marriage can really help you have a good marriage when you see the dynamics that are often repeated from childhood. We can't fix what we do not see. "Love is blind. . .Marriage is an eye-opener." Working on the relationship beforehand can help you develop good marital habits.

Every couple is unique- what works for some, does not work for all. In a nonjudgmental and non-pathologizing space, I help couples of all kinds to create the relationship that will meet both partner's needs. Through thoughtful, heartfelt and insightful discussions, we will arrive together at the model that works best for you and your relationship, and together we can resolve old wounds to help you come together again to support one another with love and kindness.
