Couples Counseling

Areas of Practice:

Preventative: i.e. couples who are deciding on whether or not to marry or who want to get their marriage off to a solid start. 

General dissatisfaction: i.e. couples who are experiencing a lull or discord and feel an overall sense of disconnection in the relationship yet are longing for more intimacy and connection.

Transition:  i.e. couples who are considering starting a family, making a major life decision or who are facing a difficult period and need to feel more connected and build resiliency.  

At an impasse: i.e. couples who are committed to one another but who have been unable to move through a relationship injury and need support in doing so. 

Treatment Options:

A weekly 75 minutes session:  With guided expertise, a couple can work through their negative relationship dynamics that keep them from feeling emotionally and physically connected.  Couples experience greater trust and intimacy as they join together to defeat the obstacles that keep them stuck in these challenging inter-relational patterns.  With an open mind and a willingness to create closeness, many couples can shift to a healthier way of relating that significantly improves their relationship satisfaction, often in just 12 to 20 sessions. 

A couple's intensive: A similar approach as above but in a condensed format. Designed for those couples who want a more accelerated experience.   

A weekend retreat intensive:  For those couples who want a weekend away to improve their relationship and re-connect. This option recommends a romantic stay at the Chesterfield Inn bed and breakfast down by the sea in Stamford, Ct.
