COUPLES SEEKING COUNSELING FIT INTO AT LEAST ONE OF FOUR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES….
Friction, Fracture, Frost or Framing...
Expand each section below to learn about the four different categories of couples that seek out counseling for their relationship.
Friction refers to ongoing unproductive conflict in a relationship. It could be escalated volatility, or ever-present bickering. Either way, it is like fireworks in a phone booth. It makes a lot of noise, the smoke never clears, and the dust never quite settles- before it pops off again. Our goal is to turn Friction into traction. To learn to disagree productively, so that instead of conflict being a force that drives a relationship apart it can be used to drive it forward.
Fracture is like lightning striking a tree. In seconds, what took years to grow and was once thought invincible is left splintered in pieces. This refers to a betrayal- most commonly thought of as sexual infidelity. It can also refer to emotional affairs and financial deception. Not only devastating, but the person who a partner would usually turn to for support is the cause. Our goal is to turn Fracture into manufacture. Pick up the pieces and build something new. The experience can be devastating and is without a doubt transformative. Yet, it does not have to be all bad or mean the end of the relationship.
Frost is like a glacial divide of cold distance and disconnection. This refers to when one or both partners become less communicative, withdrawn, or closed off. There becomes less involvement and inclusion in each other’s lives physically and emotionally. Couples often refer to this as feeling like they are roommates or just “orbiting” one another. It can lead to feelings of isolation and tension. There are few tragedies greater than feeling alone within a relationship. Our goal is go from Frost to blossom. To both thaw the ice and nurture the seeds of affection, mutual respect, and shared goals that lie underneath.
Framing is like building a house from the ground up. This refers to couples who choose to be proactive to use the raw materials to create the structure for a successful relationship. Pre-marital counseling typically fits into this category. Partners learn to develop the tools they need before they are forced to use them. Our goal is to go from Framing to maintaining by giving couples both the skills and the awareness to apply them. With this platform they have a process within the relationship to anticipate challenges and repair quickly and effectively when necessary.

Couples Therapy isn't just for relationships in crisis!
Couples therapy is not just for relationships that are in crisis; it holds immense value at every stage of a partnership. Engaging in couples therapy can be an incredibly proactive and preventive measure to maintain a healthy and fulfilling relationship. By seeking therapy before challenges become problems, couples can strengthen their connection, improve communication skills, and gain a deeper understanding of each other’s needs and desires. Therapy provides a safe space for couples to explore unresolved issues, address patterns of behavior, and learn effective conflict-resolution techniques. It helps foster emotional intimacy, enhances trust and empathy, and promotes overall relationship satisfaction. Investing in couples therapy, regardless of the current state of the relationship, demonstrates a commitment to growth, love, and lasting happiness.
