couples Therapy
You don’t have to wait to get to the end of a difficult relationship before you start learning how to have a healthy one with a loved one. Our clients often find that working through their challenges with any loved one in a safe and therapeutic environment helps them engage in meaningful conversations that support change in the relationship as well as discover new possibilities moving forward.

Deepen the level of intimacy and connection within the relationship
Gain insight to the relational patterns of negative emotions that you engage in together that maintain being “stuck”
Learn how your histories impact your relationship and to be proactive in promoting relational health
Better resolve misunderstandings
Reduce conflict, learn triggers, and develop strategies for navigating arguments and engaging in relational responses that promote closeness
Find support for the relationship during life’s transitions into marriage, parenting, marriage after children, separation, or reconciliation

Identify strength and growth areas
Explore personality traits
Strengthen communication skills
Resolve conflicts and reducing stress

DISCERNMENT THERAPY
Discernment therapy is a therapeutic approach for couples who are at a crossroads and uncertain about the future of their relationship. It is intended to assist couples in making decisions about their future, whether that involves reconciliation or separation. Discernment therapy is different from regular couples therapy as the goal is not to repair ongoing issues but to help couples move towards mutual understanding and clarity so that they can decide if they would like to continue the relationship. The therapist will offer a secure environment for the couple to better understand their emotions, fears, and concerns without persuading them toward a particular decision. Discernment therapy is a short-term and structured approach that is designed to help all parties feel informed and empowered to make a collaborative decision about the future of the relationship
you and your loved one may benefit from therapy if you hope to:
You and your partner are unsure about whether to continue the relationship
You’re in a relationship where one person is leaning strongly toward ending the relationship and the other is interested in reconciliation
You or your partner are needing a safe space to navigate difficult conversations about whether you want to stay and work on the relationship, or move forward toward a healthy separation.
You or your partner are questioning the relationship due to complex issues like infidelity, trust breaches, or longstanding conflicts.
