Our Approach
You have options when it comes to couples therapy. Here is how our approach at Integrative Couples Therapy is different.
We Specialize in Relationships
Helping couples and individuals heal and grow in relationships is the heart of our practice and the focus of our work every day. We support both the everyday challenges of relationships, such as communication, conflict, intimacy, and parenting stress, and the more difficult moments of crisis, including infidelity, betrayal, or concerns about the future of the relationship.
We Use Evidence-Based Methods
We are trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), one of the most researched and effective approaches to couples therapy. EFCT gives us a clear map for helping couples move out of negative cycles and into patterns of trust, closeness, and connection. We continually train and engage in ongoing consultation to stay up to date with the current approaches in relationship therapy.
We Are Clear and Compassionate
Relationships can be complicated, and it helps to have a guide who can see what is happening and point the way forward. We will identify the patterns that keep you stuck and offer practical steps to create new ways of relating. At the same time, your choices, questions, and feedback are always honored and respected. We believe wholeheartedly that change can occur when you feel understood and accepted, particularly when facing struggles.
We Care Deeply
We know how painful disconnection can be, and we are fully committed to helping you create harmonious and fulfilling relationships. We are dedicated to this work. We want you to have a relationship that feels loving, secure and vibrant.
We Expect Engagement
Lasting change requires effort. We will invite you to lean in, practice new skills, and show up fully for your relationship. Clients who do the work see meaningful and lasting results.
We Support Growth Beyond Sessions
New skills and patterns are built through daily practice. We provide workshops, groups, tools, exercises, and resources to help you strengthen your connection between sessions and carry your progress into everyday life.
