Couples Counseling Houston
Does this Describe You?
You never expected marriage to be this hard.
You’re not feeling heard, not feeling seen.
Your emotional needs are not being met.
Maybe the bickering has turned into fighting, the fighting has turned into shouting matches.
Maybe there has been dishonesty, deceit, infidelity.
You never feel like you’re enough for your partner.
And until someone feels validated, odds are, no one will step up and be the first to validate the other person.
Oftentimes, what is being said and what is meant is not the same thing, so it leaves the other person feeling confused.
You desperately need your spouse to understand where you are coming from, but you can’t seem to get through. You have tried everything to get your spouse to notice you, but nothing has worked. You know you love each other, but you feel so distant and alone.
- You are fighting all the time
- You feel misunderstood and alone
- You have struggled for years, and wondering if things will always be this hard.
- Your living in a constant state of vigilance
- You are unable to get through to your partner
- You struggle with defensiveness
You crave connection. You’re ready for a change.
Why Couples Counseling?
Couples counseling helps partners learn what real communication looks like. As a couples counselor I get to model healthy communication and give you a space to try it out for yourself, within the safety of the counseling experience. Couples counseling creates a space for both partners to feel heard and validated, helps relieve the tension that gets in the way of connection, and gives the couple a place to not be in it alone.
As a couples counselor I get to coach each partner by pointing out the things that create disconnection in your relationship. I also teach each partner tools and tips on what creates connection in your relationship.
Communication is one of the biggest challenges couples struggle with in their relationship. I can help. I have spent years studying the challenges of communication in relationships and I have learned what works to help bring couples closer together.
Relationships are hard. You can keep doing what you’re doing and nothing changes. You can try something new and reconnect with your spouse.
Disconnection makes us sick, Connection heals us.
Learn how to connect with your spouse so you can start healing today.
What to Expect
During the first phase of the counseling process I will work with you to understand your unique relationship patterns and challenges you would like to change. We work together to set your therapy goals. During this stage I work to understand each person’s perspective on the issue and how it is affecting them both individually and relationally. Once we are on the same page and you feel heard and understood, we will move to the next phase.
The next phase of counseling we work to change old patterns that caused disconnection in your relationship. I will coach each person on tips and tricks on how to communicate in a way that creates connection. I will teach each partner how to work together to meet each other needs which begins with communicating requests.
Once we have accomplished our therapy goals we can end counseling or set a new goal.
I can not predict the length of counseling for each couple. I have couples who only need a few sessions to accomplish their therapy goals or I have had couples i’ve seen for over a year. The number of session depends on how severe your disconnection is and how long you have been in that state. Disconnection makes us sick. If you have struggled for years in a state of disconnection then you may need more intense therapy. If this describes you then learn more about a couples intensive which may be a better fit for your relationship needs.
