how can systems therapy help?
Trained in couples counseling, our therapists work to understand both individuals as well as seek to understand the relationship as a whole. The stress in the relationship is viewed from a systemic perspective: looking at how both people may be contributing to the situation. Our approach builds from the strengths of the couple and uses this relational power to create the change you both want.
Our therapists seek to provide the following for the couple throughout therapy:
- Feeling of safety throughout the therapy process
- Clarify communication
- Improve listening and communication skills
- Increase empathy and understanding for both partners
- Ensure respect and boundaries
- Increase trust
- Discover ways of increasing intimacy
- Renewed sense of strength in the relationship
If you and your partner are struggling in one or more of these areas, we have trained therapists to help. We will collaborate with you and your partner and help you two uncover the causes of the dissatisfaction and ways to move forward. Contact us today to get started.
