Couples Therapy Services: Marital therapy using emotionally focused therapy

---

Relationship issues can cause such a heavy emotional toll, it leaves individuals feeling adrift in a sea of turmoil. The strain of unresolved conflicts, communication breakdowns, and subsequent resentment can lead to profound feelings of sadness, anxiety, and frustration. It's not uncommon for couples to experience a sense of isolation, as the emotional distance between them grows wider. These challenges can permeate every aspect of life, impacting one's self-esteem, work, and overall well-being making it difficult to even seek couples counseling. 

At Family Matters Counseling, I understand the profound impact of relationship issues and am here to provide a safe and supportive space where couples can begin the healing process, rebuild connections, and find their way back to emotional harmony and fulfillment. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which identifies maladaptive patterns in couples and focuses on replacing those patterns with more emotionally secure patterns. 

You may feel your relationship is too far gone to fix. Trust might have vanished and disdain has set in. It is not too late, though! I begin couples counseling or marital therapy by separating the problem from the person and seeing how both may be contributing to it. I seek to show both perspectives while teaching differentiation so love and trust can be built back in as two individuals, each with unique gifts, bring themselves back into the relationship. 

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy has been shown as one of the most effective modalities of treatment because couples learn to adjust the pattern instead of placing blame on the person. This has been instrumental in my own marriage and know that it can be extremely useful in yours as well.
