  • Infidelity: Assisting couples in understanding the root causes of infidelity, rebuilding trust, and working towards forgiveness and healing.
  • Emotional Distance: Reconnecting couples who feel emotionally distant or disconnected, helping them to rekindle intimacy and affection.
  • Trust Issues: Addressing underlying trust issues, whether related to past betrayals or insecurities, and developing strategies to rebuild and maintain trust.
  • Sexual Intimacy Issues: Helping couples address problems related to sexual intimacy, including mismatched libidos, lack of sexual satisfaction, or other sexual concerns.

What theoretical approaches are used in marriage counseling?

Our therapists utilize various evidence-based theoretical approaches to tailor the counseling process to each couple’s unique needs:

The Gottman Method, developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, is a research-based approach to marriage counseling that focuses on enhancing relationship stability and satisfaction. It involves a comprehensive assessment of the couple’s relationship and applies principles from the Sound Relationship House Theory to build a strong foundation of trust and intimacy. Key elements include improving communication, managing conflicts effectively, fostering emotional connection, and creating shared meaning. The method provides practical tools and techniques, such as conflict management strategies and exercises to strengthen the emotional bond, aiming to help couples develop a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
