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.

Hold Me Tight

“To achieve a lasting loving bond, we have to be able to tune in to our deepest needs and longings and translate them into clear signals that help our lovers respond to us. We have to be able to accept love and to reciprocate.”  -Dr. Sue Johnson
