Helping Relationships Heal
Couples Therapy in Los Angeles
Has your relationship gone from bad to worse?
You’ve been together for years, but being in your relationship doesn’t feel good anymore. You try to talk to your spouse, but conversations go nowhere and nothing ever changes.
It seems like you hardly ever have sex anymore, and when you do it’s not good. Even though you spend time together, there seems to be this distance between the two of you and it makes you feel lonely in your marriage.
You wonder if your relationship is headed for separation or divorce, and you fear that it might be too late to save your marriage. Your heart aches as you think about all the happy moments you used to have. Even though you don’t like how your relationship feels right now, you can’t imagine giving up the life you’ve built together.
All the fighting with your partner is making you:
-
Lose sleep as you sit there thinking about the hurtful things that were said.
-
Anxious about the future of your relationship.
-
Have difficulty concentrating at work.
-
Feel hopeless about the future.
-
Guilty about fighting in front of the kids.
You fell in love for a reason
What if you could go back to those days when you couldn’t wait to see each other? When you used to talk for hours and plan your future together. Back when you couldn’t imagine a life without each other.
If you’re not ready to give up on your relationship,
you’ve come to the right place.
In couples therapy, you will have a safe place to talk about the core issues that keep coming up as problems throughout your relationship. We will work together to identify how your interactions go wrong, and work at finding a better way of communicating so that you both feel heard and understood. You can learn the skills necessary to grow as individuals and to grow closer together, instead of growing apart. In our work together, I will give you the support needed to give your relationship a fighting chance.
The Process
We’ll start by getting an understanding of the history of your relationship. You’ll each have an opportunity to share about what brought you together, your current struggles, and how it's making you feel. You’ll have the time and space to share openly and give your perspective. Then we’ll meet individually to gain a deeper understanding of your personal and family history. Then we will come back together to establish goals for our work together, and on an ongoing basis we will work toward the goals you've identified.
