Marriages and relationships are under tremendous stress. Is your relationship feeling stuck—repeating the same old patterns? Do you feel like you and your partner can’t see eye-to-eye—that you are communicating, but the message is left unheard?
Couples counseling is one of the most sought-after types of counseling. On average, people wait six years before calling a therapist, at which point, resentment has built and settled. At Inner Peace Therapies, we understand couples face many challenges and sometimes feel stuck. We know that even those with great intentions in their relationships can get absorbed in the drama of everyday life, leading to barriers in communication, bickering, and misunderstandings.
We strive to create a non-judgmental environment where both partners feel understood. Your relationship becomes our client. We aim to strengthen your relationship by finding safe ways to express your needs and wants. Without a change of some kind, you may be experiencing a frustrating cyclical effect. We can help facilitate a safe, non-judgmental environment conducive to the changes your relationship needs. Therapy sessions focus on your personal goals, needs, and wants, equipping your relationship with specific tools necessary to break through communication conflicts long after the sessions.
Couples counseling at Inner Peace Therapies can help you and your partner:
- Identify ways you and your partner get stuck
- Improve communication
- Resolve conflict effectively
- Strengthen attachment with each other
- Overcome relationship stressors or triggers
- Gain hope in your relationship
- Have harmonious interactions
- Increase understanding of each other
- Create a stronger loving bond
One approach to couples therapy is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) recognizes that couples get trapped in negative patterns, preventing them from forming deep connections. A connection or attachment bond between partners is the foundation for a strong relationship. EFT is evidence-based couples therapy founded on attachment theory. EFT can help you learn to turn to each other to heal from past wounds. We know our partners can be our strongest allies, and through EFT, we can resolve conflict without losing your connection with the one that matters the most.
