We believe that even strong relationships can benefit from a deeper emotional connection, and we are here to facilitate this growth.

 

 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

This is a widely-used therapeutic approach that can be very effective in couples counseling. The focus of CBT is on identifying and changing negative thoughts and behavior patterns that contribute to relationship problems. For example, a therapist might help a couple recognize harmful communication patterns and replace them with more positive and effective ones.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

This approach focuses on the emotional connection between partners and aims to strengthen or rebuild this connection. An EFT therapist will help couples identify and express their emotional needs and respond to each other’s needs in a supportive, compassionate manner. EFT can be particularly helpful for couples dealing with emotional distance or a lack of intimacy.

The Gottman Method

Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this method is based on extensive research into what makes relationships successful. It focuses on improving a couple’s friendship and intimacy, managing conflict effectively, and fostering shared meaning in the relationship. A therapist using the Gottman method might teach the couple specific skills, such as “soft startup” (starting discussions in a gentle, non-accusatory way) and “repair and de-escalation” (calming down during conflict).
