Common
complaints that couples present
with are: communication problems,
lack of intimacy, sexual
dissatisfaction, feeling disconnected,
one person feeling like they
are doing all the work, infidelity,
feeling trapped, feeling neglected
and excessive fighting.
I facilitate
a new way of communicating, in
part by paying attention to body
language and tone of voice. I
give suggestions and feedback and
confront behaviors that clearly
are causing problems. A lot of
the counseling process involves
exploring each person's perspective
in order to deeply understand each
person’s
reality.
Couples counseling
may include one individual session
per person as part of the assessment. Sometimes
one person wants to end the relationship
and therapy can help this process
along as well.
