Couples Therapy
Is your home life causing stress?
Communication breakdowns, differing expectations, and unresolved conflicts are some of the many hurdles couples face. While disagreements are normal because no two people are the same, persistent issues can eventually lead to emotional disconnection and dissatisfaction.
Are you and your partner struggling to get through a rough patch? Or do you believe that your partnership could benefit from some guidance? If so, couples therapy may be your answer.
Challenges Conquered Counseling Services supports young, middle-aged, and older couples to navigate difficulties by fostering open dialogue, improved understanding, and rebuilt connections. Our personalized therapy sessions equip you to keep your relationship strong, healthy, and thriving.
What EXACTLY Is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy designed for partners in a romantic relationship. This service involves sessions with a licensed therapist who facilitates a therapeutic process that gives couples insights into their dynamics that they may not have been aware of before.
Ultimately, couples therapy provides a supportive environment where individuals in a relationship can express themselves openly, better understand each other’s perspectives, and work collaboratively toward an intimate and resilient partnership.
How Couples Therapy Works
Couples therapy takes different forms and approaches, depending on the therapist’s training and the couple’s unique needs. Generally, sessions involve the following methods:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) enhances the emotional attachment and bonding between partners.
The Gottman Method focuses on conflict resolution, giving couples practical problem-solving skills.
Ellen Wachtel’s Approach emphasizes the positive attributes of the relationship, encouraging couples to choose self-reflection over blame.
Psychodynamic Couple Therapy digs into the underlying hopes and fears that motivate each partner.
Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT) focuses on changing behavior and steering away from the negative.
Cognitive Behavioral Couples Therapy (CBCT) identifies and transforms negative thought patterns that adversely affect individual behaviors and, consequently, relationships.
