Couples Therapy
|
Our practice believes in relationships. Marriages can be complicated. They can also be a source of joy. There is no better feeling than to know that someone has your back, to be able to laugh and find common ground with another human being. You may have lost that in your marriage. Kids, job stresses, anxiety, or simply “LIFE” are getting in the way. I encourage you to try couples therapy.
You and your spouse will talk about your growth areas and your strengths. I will encourage you to solve some issues and to dialogue about more difficult topics. I will take a neutral approach. We may also talk about your cycle/ dynamic and how that is affecting the way you are interacting with each other. |
We offer couples a Gottman assessment to look at your challenges. I hope that when therapy ends, you will have a healthier, more satisfying relationship. We will encourage you to hear and speak in a way that is supportive of each other. Let’s move from an “I” to a “we”.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) we are specially trained to work with couples. There are a lot of good mental health professionals, but most of them have minimal training in couples therapy. This is not true for Marriage and Family Therapists. We have extensive training in couples and families. We also stay updated on research based evidence for best treatment.
Sabrina Bowen is a level 2 Gottman therapist. Gottman is a world renowned approach to treating couples. In addition to the Gottman training, she has advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This includes several workshops with three top specialists in EFT including Susan Johnson the creator of EFT. EFT is an empirically validated intervention with a success rate between 60 to 90%.
About 70% of couples improve their marriage in therapy—We are hope that you are one of them!
You are the expert on yourself and we are experts in relationships. Isn't that a great combination? We will work with you to improve connection, decrease conflict, and promote healthy communication.
