Aspirations Family Therapy Services
Couples Therapy
COUPLES THERAPy
There are many different reasons people seek couples therapy.
You may be having problems in your marriage or partnership that you can’t seem to solve on your own.
You may be fighting more than you want to or feeling distant from your partner and not know why.
You may be getting married soon and want to set yourself up for success from the beginning.
At Aspirations Family Therapy, you can explore your relationship with your partner and assess the areas that need to change with the help of a qualified, trained professional. Often, someone outside the partnership can see issues easier than someone who is participating in the partnership.
A Look Into Emotional Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
According to Emotional Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), there are specific negative cycles a couple creates automatically without realizing that they are contributing to their detriment. During couples counseling, we can identify this behavior and change it to create connection and closeness in the relationship. During counseling we will explore new and exciting ways to enhance your relationship and learn more effective skills to communicate.
With Gottman’s “The Sound Relationship House Theory,” we utilize decades of research that teach a couple how to increase their level of connection, intimacy, and understanding of and with each other. This method effectively helps couples learn how to fight and stay connected, build trust, and create a life that is meaningful to them.
I will use a combination of EFT attachment theory and Gottman’s learned skills in couple’s therapy. This therapy will consist of weekly or bi-weekly sessions that last 1 hour. It will also include individual sessions to ensure that each person in the relationship gets their needs met.
