Couples Therapy in Norwalk and online Across Connecticut

Our approach is centered around your relationship. This means that we do not choose sides nor play the blame game with you. We are focused on understanding the needs of the relationship and the dynamics that are no longer serving you and your partner. We like to do deep work with our couples- understand what is at the root of the problem so we can move toward the relationship you both want. At times we will explore past family history- we believe our past sometimes spills into our relationships and it can be helpful to comb through to help couples build compassion and empathy toward one another.

Together we can identify what behaviors are getting in the way of the kind of relationship you and your partner want to build. We grow as people and so does our relationship…but sometimes the relationship takes time to catch up with us.

It is important to understand that all couples experience hardships and conflict, to some extent conflict is necessary for relationships to grow and heal. Conflict becomes a problem in relationships when emotions get too high and we say things we don’t really mean. This creates resentment and separation over time.

We teach you various skills such as:

Conflict Resolution- how to argue effectively and when to stop arguing

How to express what you need from each other and be receptive to opposing opinions
How to reconnect emotionally- feel close and share feelings openly & safely
If issues are related to parenting we focus the skills to teach time management for the couple in addition to communication skills
