About Our Couples Psychotherapy Services
 This
kind of therapy focuses upon helping couples reexamine their relationships
and make changes in them to improve their lives. At times this means examining
early relationships to learn how relationship patterns developed. At other
times it means focusing on making significant changes in current interactions.
Sometimes these changes are designed to 'fix' problems, but sometimes
these new ways of behaving are 'experiments' designed to help you see
a new way of thinking about your relationship.
Couples psychotherapy aims to help partners increase their understanding
of underlying problems as well as more obvious difficulties between them.
It may also reduce the power of disappointments and hurts, both past and
present. Thereby, freeing them to discover new ways of relating, and open
a pathway to greater fulfillment both as part of a couple and as individuals.
Separation and Divorce
Couples therapy can also help separating partners to:
- Clarify their feelings and the choices they could make
- Explore the underlying reasons for their difficulties
- Mourn the loss of the relationship
- Make parting as constructive as possible for all concerned
- Create a health working relationship when children are involved
