AT CLEAR PATH THERAPY,
WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF CONNECTION
You and your partner may have lost the connection you once had.
It happens.
It happens through a lack of communication, conflict, infidelity, life stressors, and the list goes on.
Don’t wait until you’re on the brink of divorce. Don’t wait until it feels as if you’re roommates.
Start couples therapy now and learn healthier ways to communicate, work through painful wounds and reconnect.
Although an eclectic approach is taken based on each couples needs, there are two main approaches informing the therapeutic treatment. Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a skills based approach to relationship counseling. Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) is an attachment based approach. Both of these therapies are evidence based and have demonstrated their effectiveness through decades of clinical research.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN COUPLES THERAPY
Going to therapy can make anyone feel a little nervous, especially if it’s your first time. So let me help put your mind more at ease. Here’s what you can expect.
Both partners will attend the first session for 90 minutes. In this session, we will get to know each other. Does it feel like a good fit? I will begin to hear your story–from how you fell in love to what made you decided to start couples therapy.
During the second sessions, I will meet with each of you individually. Often times these one-on-one times can reveal helpful information and allow me to discover some background on you as an individual such as your attachment style and your coping skills. The details of you as an individual and as a couple are equally important. This session is often times as short as 30 minutes or as long as 75 minutes, depending on the individual need.
For all following sessions, we will meet weekly or biweekly, schedule permitting, to begin looking at things such as patterns, healthier conflict resolution, deepening your connection through friendship and intimacy, and developing shared meaning and goals between you both.
So let’s get started on your path to a healthier relationship!
