Marriage Counseling to Improve Your Relationship

How Can Marriage Counseling Help?

In marriage counseling you will experience a new way of communicating to one another. This helps foster a deep connection that makes it easier to talk about the struggles in your relationship. 

Marriage is for the long term. Cultivating a strong connection of love and compassion will help you weather through any challenge in the present and future.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

This is a specialized type of therapy for couples counseling, also known as EFT. This is the most evidenced based approach to creating a strong and loving bond in your relationship.

This approach does not criminalize you for wanting a strong connection with your significant other, rather it embraces this desire as a fundamental human drive.

EFT is the modality of therapy used at Life Care Counseling due to the outstanding research and results behind the utilization of this therapy. Please contact us if you have any questions about this approach!

What We Help With

Communication

You know your sticky points as a couple, but it may be difficult to move forward or become unstuck. We help to build better way to communicate clearly, to help you move away from feeling stuck.

We may have to talk about topics that lead to arguments often, topics you avoid, or topics that seems to always get swept under the rug. Helping you create ways to talk about these hard spots will be key to helping you re-establish that connection.

Parenting Issues

Couples often have different ways they parent or wish to parent their children. There are times where this creates tension and strain in the relationship. If this strain is not addressed, the parenting issues will only further cause damage to the household.

In marriage counseling, parents will learn how to talk resolve differences in parenting styles. Parenting is easier when you can have a discussion without conflict and can compromise.

Affairs/Emotional Cheating

A relationship is a bond between two people, where they share emotional and physical experiences. When that bond is threatened, it is devastating to a relationship. This type of hurt can lead to further breakdown of communication and drain the safety in the relationship. This is an injury to the relationship that will only grow if not treated. 

In marriage counseling, we will work to create understanding around this injury to the relationship. Their is so much pain around what happened that it can be helpful to have a counselor help you both through the healing. Being able to slow down and talk about the injury without spinning out into anger, confusion, sadness, and hurt is where the healing starts.

Counseling Session & Individual Sessions

Marriage counseling is conducted with both of you in the session. There may be times the counselor will request to do an individual session with one or both of you. This would help focus on specific issues/experiences or work on building communication skills for the couples’ session.

The second and third session will be individual sessions for each of you. This is standard practice for both marriage and couples counseling. This will be to gather personal history and experience in the relationship.

Pricing

Sessions are $150 for 50 minutes. For some couples, longer sessions work better, in which you can schedule longer session times.
