Couples and Relationships
Research shows that effective communication is the key to a healthy and lasting relationship. Oregon City Counseling will work with you as a couple to give you the tools you need to make your relationship happy, healthy, and fulfilling.
Your Relationship.
Our couples and relationship counselors at Oregon City Counseling welcome all types of relationships in all walks of life. We are ready to help get your relationship to the place you want it to be.
What you can expect.
When working with couples, Oregon City Counseling providers use a behavioral skill-building approach. There is clear, scientific evidence that behavioral approaches that teach and practice the following skills have the best outcomes in couples therapy (Benson et al., 2012):
Share emotions respectfully
Collaboratively problem solve
Communicate effectively
The work is . . . work. We will learn skills, practice them in session, and you will have homework to continue to practice them each week. But, if you’re willing to put in the work, your relationship can become healthier, happier, more intimate, and more rewarding!
