Successful Couples Therapy

Have you ever been curious if couples counseling could improve your relationship?  Do you want outside help to create a better relationship or to end your relationship amicably? Whether you’re in a high-conflict or conflict-avoidant relationship, whether you’re interested in rebuilding trust, communicating more effectively, or deepening vulnerability and intimacy with your partner(s), couples counseling with the right therapist and the right conditions, can be very effective.

Successful New Year 2019

​Research at University of Scranton shows 75% of people who make New Year’s Resolutions maintain them past the first week and by six months it’s 46%.  However those who make resolutions are 10 times more likely to reach their goals than others who don’t.  Improving health tends to be the top resolution:  weight loss, exercise, eating better, drinking less alcohol and quitting smoking.

What is Mindfulness?

According to Jon Kabat-Zin, mindfulness is paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally...as if your life depended on it.  We ALL have tons of thoughts every minute of the day.  Do you ever feel like your thoughts/feelings are out of control and creating anxiety, depression or just way too much stress in your life?  Learning how to navigate this territory can make a huge difference in our lives.

Healing Narcissistic Abuse

Being in a relationship with a Narcissist — whether as a friend, co-worker, family member, date, or intimate relationship — can be one of the most difficult and painful relationships to navigate.  While we all have legitimate needs for validation, someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) takes it to a whole other, destructive, level.

Taming Your Inner Critic

We have tons of thoughts every minute but when these thoughts are consistently critical and judgmental of ourselves  (i.e. how we’ve failed yet again) then it restricts our ability to live more fully and enjoy our lives.  An intense and relentless Inner Critic can lead to social anxiety, perfectionism, rigidity and depression.

Communicating Effectively

Most couples come in to therapy interested in improving the way they communicate with each other and resolve conflict.  Some couples have high conflict while others are conflict avoidant.  In either case, learning to speak more effectively can dramatically improve the health of your relationship(s).
