Rediscover Why You Fell in Love
According to the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT), over 75% of couples report an improvement in their relationship after counseling.
At Family Care Center, we know that every relationship is different and as unique as the two people in it, and we feel it is important to identify and address those issues that are specific to your relationship.
It is our goal to help each couple realize improved engagement in their lives and to equip our clients with skills to progress and grow. The marriage and family therapists at Family Care Center have been trained in many different therapeutic modalities to help couples achieve success in their relationships. Techniques or modalities that might be used are the Gottman Method, and EFT (Emotion-Focused Therapy) for Couples.
Couples therapy will help you gain problem solving skills that change the “blame game” to a win-win problem-solving process. This can be done by teaching skills so a couple can handle their differences together through new and better patterns of engagement. It is important that couples have the opportunity to learn skills to regulate the emotional tone between them at a happy and loving level. Instead of anger, depression and anxiety, there is much more sharing of affection, appreciation, hugs and smiles. Also, a couple may benefit by gaining insights into the childhood origins of their problematic habits and promote excessive emotional reactivity.
If you and your partner are facing challenges in your marriage or relationship, consider seeking the help of a qualified marriage counselor or therapist to explore these benefits and work toward a healthier, happier partnership.
