Feel Loved Again

Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, here and now.
— Fred Rogers

Couples counseling focuses on helping people express their needs and acknowledge their partner’s needs more effectively, which enhances their intimacy and leads to better communication. It’s hard work, though, and often requires a lot of courage to open up to an often disconnected partner. Relational patterns are hard to break and cause people to feel stuck, but couples counseling can help.

Our clinicians who practice couples counseling use an Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) approach in addition to the Gottman Method. This approach delves into each partner’s deep attachment needs and supports each partner as they learn to communicate and acknowledge these needs for each other. By learning how to break their maladaptive relationship patterns, each partner gains important insight about their own tendencies and discovers newer, healthier ways of interacting with their partner.

Join Us for a Weekend Workshop for COUPLES!

Discover the path to renewing and deepening your relationship with the Hold Me Tight Couples Workshop, based on Dr. Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy framework. This transformative experience is crafted for couples seeking to build intimacy and emotional connection, understand destructive patterns, and revitalize their bond. By uncovering the root causes of conflict, you’ll learn to move beyond surface issues and truly understand your partner’s intentions, all while learning new ways to improve your communication.

This workshop will be held on February 22 - February 23, 2025, and is excellent for couples who don’t have the flexibility and/or financial resources to attend weekly couples therapy. It’s a great way to get some good work done in a limited amount of time and financial investment.

This Hold Me Tight weekend workshop will help couples:

  • Identify the REAL, under-the-surface reasons for conflict in your relationship

  • Change negative patterns that keep you feeling frustrated and disconnected

  • Heal from relationship wounds that have been there for a long time

  • Restore a sense of safety to the relationship

  • Learn new ways to communicate with each other
