Couples Counseling WashPark & Marriage Counseling A safe space to (re)discover who you are as a couple
We have found that empathy, reflective listening, curiosity, and atunement foster communication both in the therapy room and throughout your life— fostering closeness as a couple. These tools build communication, increases trust and closeness, and allow us to help couples talk to each in new ways. After several visits, a client told me he heard himself say “and the story I am telling myself is you don’t care about what I think.” When you can share your thoughts and tell the story that you tell yourself, your partner can either confirm the message or reassure you that it is not true. No matter how much we value our partner, they are not mind readers.
Attachment
At times, you may feel attacked by your partner. Other times, you may feel alone, abandoned, or uncared for. Some clients feel like their partner pushes their buttons on purpose. These actions may not be cognitive decisions to make you miserable: they could be coming from an attachment model learned during your partner’s childhood. Fostering an empowering attachment style with greater security may shift an entire relationship. We help you foster secure attachments.
Trust
The common perception of a breach of trust is often presented as a major event like infidelity. A breach of trust can be something as simple as not following through on a small commitment. It’s the little things. Brené Brown talks of the marble jar of trust. Every small positive act can drop a marble in the jar. But a single faux pas can dump them all out and threaten communication and intimacy. We provide a safe space to explore and discuss issues and struggles surrounding trust.
“It is only human to want to be honestly seen, acknowledged, and adored by the one who captures our hearts.” —Dr. Arlene Krieger
Make An AppointmentRebuilding the couple bubble
In the early days, it was just you and your partner. Then came the kids and making time for— and with— each other became more difficult. We work together to re-establish your boundaries as a couple— the couple bubble— and provide a framework to protect and nurture your relationship. Make time for the two of you, and everything else can be more cohesive and fulfilling in WashPark.
