Couples Counseling
Couples therapy is highly effective in helping two people build new communication skills in order to regain a sense of connection. With a trained counselor in a safe environment, couples can begin to identify stumbling blocks and break down the repeated patterns of behavior that erode relationships over time. With coaching, a couple can begin to replace these negative patterns with healthy ways of interacting that will improve understanding, connection and intimacy.
