Counseling for couples
At Rise to change your story, we help couples from all ethnic, economic and religious backgrounds. We serve both heterosexual and same sex couples.
Counseling for couples is a method of understanding and treating relational dilemmas, life challenges and transitions, and different crises by working with the members in the couple as our focus of treatment.
Counseling for couples focuses on understanding each individuals’ thoughts, feelings and behaviors within the context of their story together and their daily interactions.
We believe that families are experts in their own lives and our role is to help couples work collaboratively toward exploring and clarifying the options available to address their challenges and solve their problems in the best possible way.
Counseling for couples gives them an opportunity to negotiate life’s transitions with as little disruption as possible and to explore and honor what that particular transition means for each other and ways in which they can better navigate it together as a couple.
Counseling for couples allows couples to talk through their feelings and articulate how their relationship may not be meeting their expectations. “Feeling stuck” can shift if both parties are willing to compromise in a way so that individual needs are met.
Counseling for couples can provide a safe space to talk about difficult and sensitive topics such as sexual satisfaction, cultural differences, communication difficulties, family planning, co-parenting differences, coping with life cycle transitions, managing your finances, and feeling like you are growing apart, among other sensitive topics.
In our practice we help couples explore and experience some alternative story lines that may already exist in their lives or may have existed, but have been forgotten or overshadowed.
Our mission is to support your partnership to rise and change your story together. A story with themes and plots that are more satisfying, more fulfilling, more empowering and more aligned with what matters the most to you as a family. We believe such stories are always there if we look for them. TODAY IS THE DAY TO RISE AND CHANGE YOUR STORY. To learn more about our Counseling for couples go here
