Couples Counseling

When working with couples we 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!
