Couples often wait until they are in despair to come in and address their issues. Preventative Therapy is such a healthy option for all couples to proactively approach their relationship and not wait for something to go wrong.
Get ahead of the game! Don’t let the stigma of therapy get in the way of you nurturing your relationship. It’s so easy to think therapy for couples is something that you only do when there are problems. That’s not the case. In fact, couples generally wait too long and find themselves in such a deep hole that it takes so much work to dig themselves out.
Come in and address important topics that all couples should talk about and explore together. Preventative Therapy is a great option for you if you feel you have a strong, solid relationship, a strong sense of “we” and see yourselves as a unit that is able to communicate effectively. Your strong communication will allow you to address topics effectively and set yourselves up for a healthier future together.
What you should expect is to be encouraged and challenged to continue to strengthen and deepen your relationship, while we shed light on certain dynamics that may need attention.
What I expect of you:
I expect a serious commitment from you in our work together. I expect you to be open to learning, growing, and receiving feedback that will relate directly to your role in the relationship. I expect you to try not to be defensive, to communicate when you are, and to commit to altering the behaviors that are damaging to the relationship. When these conditions are met, we have an excellent chance that the relationship will wind up in a stronger place than it’s ever been in before.
