Integrative Couples Therapy ™
This is what happens:
As couples fall in love they create the “good story” of their relationship – for instance – how they met and the details of their growing romance. Over time, conflicts normally arise, and if those problems are not resolved, they come together to create the “bad story” of the relationship. Integrative Couples Therapy© can help couples resolve their problems and have those past issues become part of the “good story.”
Developmentally, couples often get stuck in differing stages. One partner may be longing for the closeness originally shared in the earliest stages of the relationship while the other partner is out experiencing the world – appearing to have left the relationship emotionally. Each party can be helped in understanding normal relationship development and how to get back on the same “page” as a couple.
Integrative Couples Therapy© includes a detailed family history assessment, personality testing and developmental assessment, in order to offer in-depth understanding and tools for coping with differences.
