Emotion focused therapy is a treatment modality that points out how pathological patterns of communication develop within a relationship. It consists of three stages. The first is to identify patterns of miscommunication. Second, the couple becomes aware when they’re stuck in the non beneficial pattern, and third, the psychologist teaches them to step out of the harmful pattern and interact differently.
Despite our best efforts, some relationships will end in divorce or separation. While this is always difficult, working with a therapist during the dissolution of your partnership helps both partners achieve a sense of peace before moving forward. Counseling during a separation or divorce may be especially important when there are children who will be affected. We also offer family therapy if you want to include your children in the discussions.
Do you and your partner have a specific dispute you just can’t seem to work through? Whether it’s deciding how to manage your finances, where to live, how to deal with the in-laws, repairing your relationship after infidelity, or any other issue, our psychologists partner with you to resolve these issues once and for all. In addition to serving as mediators as you resolve your disputes, we also help you to improve your communication skills and intimacy bonds, so you prevent arguments or resolve future conflicts together.
